Student stories

What students say

For Aviation Management, Istanbul Bilgi University brings in guest lecturers who actually work at the airport authority. My favorite course project analyzed real turnaround data from a ground-handling company, nothing about it felt theoretical.

The Architecture studios at Istanbul Bilgi University stay open until midnight, and critiques are honest without being cruel. After Baghdad, having a design tutor who sits with my drawings for a full hour still feels like a gift.
