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.”
“I sew my own collections in the textile workshop on the Şile campus, and the sea view honestly helps me think. Işık University also gave me a fifty percent scholarship, which is why I could afford Istanbul at all.”
