Student stories

What students say

“In interior architecture at Istanbul Galata University we measure and redesign real spaces in old Beyoğlu buildings for studio projects. My materials professor critiques every drawing herself, line by line, which pushed my portfolio further than I expected.”

“My literature seminars at Istanbul Galata University are small enough that professors know when I have not spoken and ask my opinion directly. After class I walk down through Karaköy, which never gets old for me.”
