Student stories

What students say

“The Information Security Technology labs at Arel run live attack-defense exercises, not just slides. After classes I take the metrobus back across Istanbul and review the packet captures we collected that day.”

Yousef Al-AmriInformation Security Technology · Yemen

“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.”
