Student stories
What students say
“The Radiotherapy program gave us supervised clinical rotations at partner hospitals from the second year. When my bank statement was questioned during the visa process, the admissions counselor drafted the explanation letter with me.”
“Our Laboratory Technology instructors at Istanbul Gelisim University insist we run every assay ourselves instead of watching demonstrations. By second semester I could prepare samples and document results without supervision.”
