The story

Anadolu University originated from the Eskişehir Academy of Economics and Commercial Sciences, established in 1958. It was officially formed in 1982 through the amalgamation of four higher education institutions: the Academy of Economics and Commercial Sciences, the State Academy of Architecture and Engineering, the Institute of Education, and a medical school. As the Academy of Economics and Commercial Sciences was the earliest of these institutions, Anadolu University has adopted 1958 as its date of establishment. Eskişehir Osmangazi University and Eskişehir Technical University was founded with the transfer of various educational units of Anadolu University.
