Student stories

What students say

The electronics labs at Istinye University surprised me, oscilloscopes and FPGA boards for every pair of students, not one shared setup for twenty. My thesis measurements for Electrical and Electronics Engineering never wait for equipment.

Coming from Baku, adapting to Istanbul was easier than I feared. My physics professor invited me into his research group in my second semester, and now I spend Fridays running simulations instead of just reading about them.
