Universities are institutions that contribute to the development and prosperity of the society in which they live and to humanity at large. By virtue of this, they are obliged to be places of education that are faced with the necessity of assuming the task of being a locomotive in the development of first and foremost their regions and their countries, and then the world and humanity at large. ...Being the final stage of education, universities can not be regarded as distinct from, independent of and antithetical to the society, its culture, beliefs and values. Being major elements of science and advancement, they are responsible for teaching development, universality, tolerance and respect for national and spiritual values. In addition to efforts to develop the social structure in which they are involved, it is the duty of these educational institutions to educate leaders, scientists, businessmen and artists of the future in such a way that they will possess the power to meet the needs of the country, the nation and humanity in the best way.

As heir to an ancient civilization, it will stick at all costs to its goal of being a global “brand university” that has adopted sustainability in all areas without making any concessions on national and moral values. It will continue to be aour basic principles to raise individuals who will never allow our culture and values to be degenerated while focusing on achiving quality, who do not equate enlightenment with opposition to the beliefs of our society, and who go in search of change, progress and modernity. Our priority is raising leader individuals within our society who have adopted thousands-of-years-old historical and cultural heritage of theirs, can transfer the power they have received from the past to the future, have scientific knowledge, are fond of freedom, and can collaborate.
With an experience of more than forty years, we contiue our efforts aimed at educating generations who have acquired competitive skills in the international arena, adopted chanage and progress, are in demand in the job market, and know that “the enemy of the good is the best”.

The year 1982 became a year of major breakthrough for Selcuk University. As a first step, It was decided to combine Faculty of Science and Faculty of Letters into Faculty of Science and Letters. Besides this, it was decided to transform Selçuk Education College into Faculty of Education, Konya State Academy of Engineering and Architecture into Faculty of Engineering and Architecture and Konya Higher Islamic College into Faculty of Theology by virtue of law 41 on 22nd July 1982. Moreover, Faculties of Law, Agriculture, Veterinary Science and Medicine were established as well as Graduate Schools of Health, Natural and Applied Sciences and Social Sciences. In addition to these, School of Foreign Languages was abolished and turned into Konya Vocational School; Nigde Vocational School was founded in Niğde; Crafts Teaching School for Girls was turned into Crafts Education School for Girls and Nigde Education College was turned into Niğde School of Education. With the statutory decree of 41, Selcuk University had, all of a sudden, 3 graduate schools, 8 faculties and 4 colleges or schools.
Experiencing a rapid growth until the end of the 2000s in physical, social, cultural and sports fields and notably in science, Selcuk University increased the number of its faculties to 24 in 2011. However, by decree of Council of Ministers and by approval of the then President Abdullah Gul, Meram Medical Faculty, Ahmet Kelesoglu Faculty of Education and Faculty of Theology, all on Meram Campus, were transferred to Konya University, the newly established second state university in Konya. In accordance with a decision by the Council of Ministers published in the Official Gazette on 26th April 2013, Ahmet Cengiz Faculty of Engineering, Seydisehir Vocational School, Seydisehir School of Health Services, Eregli Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Eregli Faculty of Education and Konya Eregli Kemal Akman Vocational School were transferred to Necmettin Erbakan University.
