Student stories
What students say
“Sports Management at Gelisim mixes classroom work with visits to clubs around Avcilar and the wider Istanbul football scene. I came from Tripoli knowing no one; the Arabic-speaking student office made settling in easier.”
“The Radiotherapy program gave us supervised clinical rotations at partner hospitals from the second year. When my bank statement was questioned during the visa process, the admissions counselor drafted the explanation letter with me.”
