Student stories
What students say
“Studying Turkish classical music at Haliç University in Istanbul means my oud teacher performs professionally and still corrects my maqam exercises one on one. Some evenings we rehearse, then I take the ferry home across the Golden Horn.”
“I came from Tehran worried about the visa steps, but the admissions counselor sent me a checklist and even reviewed my appointment documents twice. Now I interpret in the booth labs during my English translation classes.”
