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.

Istinye University gave me a fifty percent tuition discount for my Engineering Management master's, which made studying abroad realistic on my family's budget. The admissions office even sent the scholarship letter I needed for my visa appointment.
