Student stories
What students say
“I finished my bachelor's in Baku and came to Bahcesehir for the Strategic Marketing and Brand Management master's. Case studies use real Turkish brands, and my professor connected me with an internship in Besiktas.”
“Balancing lab work for my Sports Nutrition thesis with life in Istanbul felt overwhelming at first, but the international office helped me sort my residence permit appointment before classes even started.”
