Student stories

What students say

My program is in Turkish, and Acıbadem arranged a preparatory language year that actually worked, by second semester I could follow lab reports without a dictionary. The laboratory instructors check our technique one student at a time.

The imaging labs at Acıbadem University run on the same machines used in its hospitals, so we practice on real MRI and ultrasound equipment. Coming from Baghdad, I hadn't touched hardware like this before my first semester.
