The university's main campus, namely İzzet Baysal Campus, is located in Gölköy, which is 8 km from the city center and surrounded by a unique natural beauty.
Abant İzzet Baysal University is a third model as not being purely a state or foundation university but a state university supported by a foundation. Abant İzzet Baysal University has been supported by the Foundation founded by İzzet Baysal, one of Turkey's most generous philanthropists. The university has reached an excellent physical structure and superior technologic infrastructure with the facilities and equipment investment amounting to 262 million TL as of 2010 funded by İzzet Baysal Foundation and the state allocation. The Foundation not only supports the international achievements of academics but also provides scholarships to successful students.
The university aims to become the most rapidly developing university to go beyond the current civilization level, as suggested by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of the Republic of Turkey. To this end, the university, prioritizing science at international standards, attaches utmost importance to the national and local needs in training and education. The university provides a research environment that follows scientific developments and technologies with an international competition capacity and continuously keeps up with the developments to ensure students' best opportunities. Thus, Abant Izzet Baysal University has covered much ground since it was founded and has been one of the fastest developing universities.
