Abstract :Attempts to create a Darülfünun, an institution similar to European  universities, started within the Ottoman modernisation movement from 1845 on. Various social and political difficulties encountered throughout the second half  of the 19th century delayed the establishement of the Darülfünun which finally  offered regular and continous education after 1900. Only men were allowed to  enroll in the university until the proclamation of the Second Constitution in  1908. The issue of extending higher education to women was introduced on the cultural agenda following this event, and in 1914 the Women’s university “Inas  Darülfünunu” opened in Istanbul. The Women’s  university had  two  faculties, in the social sciences  insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Edebiyat Şubesi); and mathematical and natural sciences insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Riyaziyat ve Tabiiyat  Şubesi);. The university had a thrre­year program, and entrance required  certification from girls’  high schools. The Women’s university concluded its function in 1919  when women  were allowed  to attend the  courses  at  the Darülfünun together with men, and were accepted as students to the Istanbul  University officially.merged
