Student stories

What students say

“The Information and Communication Technology courses at Istanbul Aydin University are taught fully in English, but free Turkish classes helped me handle daily life. By second year I was debugging in one language and bargaining in another.”
Brian OtienoInformation and Communication Technology (English) · Kenya
“Arts and Culture Management makes sense in a city like Istanbul, half my assignments happen inside actual galleries and festival offices. Last term my class helped coordinate volunteers for a documentary festival on the Asian side.”
