Gazi University operates as a city-university with multiple campuses throughout the capital, with its main campus in Beşevler. Its urban setting facilitates access to housing and shopping centers for students. The university offers a variety of student activities, including a Spring Festival, free and opening concerts, sports tournaments, theatre productions, performances by student clubs, and numerous scientific and cultural seminars.

In 1982, the university expanded significantly by merging with several institutions: the Bolu Academy of Engineering and Architecture, Ankara Academy of Economics and Commercial Sciences, Ankara College of Technical Careers, Ankara Girls' College of Technical Careers, and the Ankara State Academy of Engineering and Architecture. This reorganization was part of a broader educational reform under the act that established the Board of Higher Education. Prior to this reform, higher education institutions in Turkey were organized as universities, academies, institutes, and schools. In 1992, the faculties and vocational schools located in Bolu were reconstituted to form Abant Izzet Baysal University.

Achievements

Turkey's third face transplant, specifically a partial face transplant, was conducted on March 17, 2012. The procedure was performed at the hospital of Gazi University on Hatice Nergis, a twenty-year-old woman from Kahramanmaraş. The patient had lost her upper jaw six years earlier, including her mouth, lips, palate, teeth, and nasal cavity due to a firearm accident, rendering her unable to eat. Prior to the transplant, she had undergone approximately 35 reconstructive plastic surgeries. The surgery was led by surgeon Selahattin Özmen. The donor was a 28-year-old woman from Istanbul who had committed suicide.{{cite news |url=http://www.sabah.com.tr/Yasam/2012/03/23/gazi-yuz-naklini-damardan-bagladi |newspaper=Sabah |title=Gazi, yüz naklini 'damardan' bağladı |author=Cantürk, Safure |date=2012-03-23 |language=tr |access-date=2012-03-26 }}{{cite news |url=http://www.zaman.com.tr/haber.do?haberno=1260147&title=ucuncu-yuz-nakli-gazi-universitesi-tip-fakultesi-hastanesinde-basladi |newspaper=Zaman |title=Üçüncü yüz nakli Gazi Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Hastanesi'nde başladı |date=2012-03-17 |language=tr |access-date=2012-03-26 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120319141259/http://zaman.com.tr/haber.do?haberno=1260147&title=ucuncu-yuz-nakli-gazi-universitesi-tip-fakultesi-hastanesinde-basladi |archive-date=2012-03-19 }}{{cite news |url=http://www.ntvmsnbc.com/id/25331432/ |newspaper=NTV MSNBC |title=Üçüncü yüz nakli bir kadına |date=2012-03-17 |language=tr|access-date=2012-03-26 }}
