Student stories

What students say

“Studying Preservation of Cultural Heritage in Istanbul means my case studies are a tram ride away. Last term we documented actual Byzantine masonry for a conservation report instead of only reading about it in slides.”
Aigerim NurlanovaPreservation of Cultural Heritage · Kazakhstan
“My Computational Science and Engineering courses at Kadir Has University are small enough that professors know exactly where each of us is stuck. I emailed mine about a solver bug on a Sunday and had an answer by Monday morning.”
