Düzce University

Duzce University is a public university founded in 2006 in Duzce Province, Turkey. Its origins date back to 1976, when Duzce Vocational School was established as an affiliate of Istanbul Technical University's Sakarya Faculty of Engineering. After operating for a time under Istanbul University, the institution was incorporated into Bolu Abant Izzet Baysal University when that university was founded in 1992, before being elevated to university status in 2006 and becoming Duzce University.
