Founded in 2005, KTO Karatay University, established by the Konya Chamber of Commerce Education and Health Foundation, was opened as Konya’s first foundation university in 2009. KTO Karatay University admitted its first students in the 2010-2011 academic year and graduated its first cohort in June 2013.

KTO Karatay University began its educational activities in 2010 with 3 faculties. As of today, it offers associate, undergraduate, and graduate education through 5 faculties, 3 schools, 3 vocational schools, and 1 institute. In the 2020-2021 academic year, the university had approximately 9,000 students.

KTO Karatay University is affiliated with the Konya Chamber of Commerce. As a result, students receive education closely integrated with the industry and trade world. Students who complete their internships during their studies finish their education as individuals with desirable skills in the sector. Through the Sector Advisory Project, led by academic advisors, the goal is for students to acquire professional and sector-specific skills related to their fields of study while still enrolled. Additionally, KTO Karatay University's primary goal is to conduct education and research aimed at solving the problems of the industrial and commercial sectors in its region, produce qualified graduates who easily find employment, and eventually become a prominent university on a national and international scale.
