In Aircraft Technology we work on an actual airframe in the hangar workshop, not just diagrams. My admission counselor also walked me through the visa appointment checklist step by step over video calls.

Studying Civil Air Transportation Management at Istanbul Okan University means guest lectures from people who actually work at the airports here. Our ground operations course included a visit to a working terminal.
