Student stories

What students say

“I am writing my Sociology thesis on migration, and my supervisor connected me with two fieldwork sites in my first month. The international office even helped me get my documents apostilled back home in Rabat.”

Imane BenaliSociology (Thesis) · Morocco

“My Nursing master's at Istanbul Arel University pairs every thesis student with a clinical supervisor early. Mine answered my ethics-committee questions on a Sunday so I would not miss the submission window.”
