Student stories

What students say

“In my second year at Işık University I already work with ECG sensors in the biomedical lab, not just simulations. My professor stays after class whenever the Jordanian students need extra help with signal processing.”
Omar KhasawnehBiomedical Engineering · Jordan
“My mechanical engineering program is in Turkish, and the preparatory year made that possible; my TÖMER teachers drilled me until technical lectures felt normal. Back in Almaty I worried about paperwork, but staff here were patient with every document.”
Daniyar SeitkaliMechanical Engineering (Turkish) · Kazakhstan
