=='''Overview'''==
<blockquote>Middle East Technical University is founded under the name of “Middle East High Technology Institute” in 1956 to contribute to the development of Türkiye and Middle East countries and especially to train people so as to create a skilled workforce in the fields of natural and social sciences. METU’s motto is “We can change the world.” Since its foundation, METU, as an international research university, has been the leading university in Türkiye in terms of depth and breadth of research partnership on international level and the amount of funds generated from international research projects. Most of our departments accept only the top 1% of approximately 1.5 million applicants taking the National University Entrance Examination.</blockquote>[[File:2ankara.jpg|thumb|370x370px|Aerial View of METU Devrim Stadium and surroundings|link=Special:FilePath/2ankara.jpg]]
