Founded in 1982, it is organized into 18 faculties. It holds the distinction of being the first university in Turkey to implement the problem-based learning method, which was introduced in the School of Medicine in 1997. Several units of Dokuz Eylül University have achieved continuous improvement in education, research, and practice by obtaining the ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management System certification. These include the Social Sciences Institute and the School of Maritime Business and Management in 2001, the University Presidency in 2003, and the Medical Faculty and the Health Sciences Institute in 2004.

Founded on July 20, 1982, Dokuz Eylül University derives its name from September 9, 1922, the date marking the Liberation of İzmir from Greek occupation, a pivotal event in the Turkish War of Independence. Upon its establishment, seventeen previously existing schools, including faculties from Ege University and other higher education institutions, were affiliated with the university. Today, Dokuz Eylül University comprises eighteen faculties, five schools, six vocational schools, five graduate schools, and five research institutes.
