Student stories

What students say

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.

Sports Management at Gelisim mixes classroom work with visits to clubs around Avcilar and the wider Istanbul football scene. I came from Tripoli knowing no one; the Arabic-speaking student office made settling in easier.
