What students say
“In my third year of Medicine at Uskudar University, hospital rotations at the affiliated NP hospitals started earlier than friends at other schools reported. Examining real patients, supervised closely, taught me more than any textbook chapter.”
“I started in the USTOMER Turkish course speaking almost nothing, and eight months later I passed my C1 exam. Living in Üsküdar, on Istanbul's Asian shore, meant practicing Turkish every day at the ferry dock and the market.”
