Based on the European side of the Bosphorus strait in Istanbul, Turkey, Bogazici úniversitesi is one of the top 500 universities in the world in the 2018 edition of the QS World University Rankings. 

Classes are taught in English, something which can be traced back to the university‚ origin as Robert College, the first American higher education institution to be found outside of the US. Although now entirely run by the local administration, the university retains some ties to America.
