KUHub

What is KU Hub?

KUHub is Koç University’s new digital platform being developed in-house by KU IT.
Down the road, KUHub will include academic, research, administrative, and engagement related features to deliver a modern and unified experience to all constituents, external users, and entities who interact with our University. As we make progress many applications like KUSIS, KUFIS, Event Calendar, Fiori Apps, Announcements, etc. will be replaced by KUHub.
KUHub will consist of multiple hubs. A hub is an app focused on a specific functional area.

The first hub is our central hub. Campus Hub is the central hub where most of the internal engagement, academic, and administrative features exist.

• Events
• News & Announcements
• Course Selection
• Apply for a scholarship
• KUSIS teaching & learning features
• Campus Services (Dining, Transportation etc.)

And so much more!

When will KUHub be finished?

KUHub has a multi-year roadmap.

We are developing KUHub iteratively and intend to make a new release every month with new functionality and bug fixes.

Some apps like KUSIS, KUFIS, etc. will be phased out gradually as we develop replacement features in KUHub.

How do we develop KUHub?

We use the most recent technologies and cloud-native architecture to provide a robust, secure, and resilient foundation that can scale to meet our ever-increasing digital needs for years to come​.

We follow an agile methodology to develop the software while using DevOps techniques and tools to deliver and operate the apps.
​
We leverage open-source tools and frameworks heavily as and when it makes sense.
