Istanbul University was established in 1453 by the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II. The university, which was first established in today's main building, was equivalent to Roman universities consisting of schools of medicine, law, philosophy and letters, and is considered to be the pioneer of university education in Istanbul. It was founded as an institution of higher education named the Darülfünûn (House of Multiple Sciences) on 23 July 1846 is regarded as the precursor to the Darülfünûn which evolved into Istanbul University in 1933. The university has twenty two faculties on five campuses; the main campus being on Beyazıt Square (with the main door), which was originally built by Constantine the Great as the Forum Tauri and was later enlarged by Theodosius the Great as the Forum of Theodosius during the Roman period. One of the world wide alumni of the University is Aziz Sancar who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their mechanistic studies of DNA repair. He also donated the Nobel Prize to İstanbul University!
