Library facilities — structure, access, and digital reach

Physical footprint and collections

The main library occupies a five‑story building that houses a collection of over 60,000 printed books and e‑books, spanning Turkish and international curricula. Collections are arranged according to the Library of Congress classification system, simplifying discovery for students and faculty familiar with international standards.

Access and study spaces

Registered students and staff have 24/7 access, supporting late‑night study, cross‑time‑zone collaboration, and flexible research schedules. Private reading and study rooms are reservable for group work or focused individual study. Typical staffed hours are 8:00 AM–9:00 PM on weekdays and 10:00 AM–6:00 PM on weekends, while digital services extend support outside these hours.

Digital services and multilingual support

The e‑library system enables both on‑campus and remote access to digital collections — particularly useful for incoming international students completing preparatory work from abroad. Multilingual support includes databases and guided literature search assistance for students studying in English and other languages.

Actionable tips for recruiters and admissions teams (library‑focused)

• Promote 24/7 access and e‑library availability to applicants who need flexible schedules or study across time zones.
• Include a short primer on the Library of Congress classification in pre‑arrival materials to reduce initial friction.
• Coordinate with Haliç’s international office to schedule library tours that highlight private study rooms and multimedia facilities during recruitment visits.

Laboratories and research infrastructure — capacity and capability

Scope and specialization

Haliç University hosts over 65 laboratories across engineering, natural sciences and applied technologies. Labs are equipped with modern instruments and current‑generation technologies used for curriculum‑aligned practicals, capstone projects and supervised research.

Hands‑on learning and international student experience

Laboratory access emphasizes experiential education: students undertake applied experiments, prototype development and interdisciplinary projects that boost employability. Comprehensive safety training and equipment orientations are provided for students unfamiliar with specific tools or procedures.

Inclusive design and support

Labs are managed to be inclusive for international learners, with translated manuals, guided training sessions and supervisory support. Collaborative spaces and multimedia rooms are integrated into lab programs to facilitate experiment documentation, presentation preparation and cross‑discipline teamwork.

Practical guidance for program managers and HR teams (labs‑focused)

• When discussing clinical pathways or specialized training in health‑related programs, reference relevant institutions available through Study in Turkiye, such as Medipol University and Istinye University, to set realistic expectations for clinical simulation and hospital‑affiliated experiences.
• Map lab capabilities to curriculum learning outcomes (e.g., minimum hours of hands‑on work with industry‑standard equipment) so applicants and employers understand graduate competencies.
• Provide virtual lab tours and short demo videos in pre‑arrival resources to reduce anxiety and accelerate acclimation.

Delivering a supportive campus environment for international students

Orientation, counseling, and academic services

Haliç University’s international services include orientation programs, career and psychological counseling, and continuing education options to support wellbeing and long‑term career planning. Blended and distance learning modes provide flexibility for those with transitional needs.

Collaborative and multimedia learning spaces

Multimedia rooms, private study pods and collaborative workspaces support group assignments, interdisciplinary projects and digital content creation — essential for international students working in diverse teams and preparing employer‑focused portfolios.

Actionable guidance for international student support teams

• Pair library familiarization, e‑library training and a guided lab safety session within the first two weeks of term to accelerate competency.
• Offer targeted workshops (e.g., academic writing in English, research methodology, lab techniques) in partnership with departments to close early skills gaps.
