Student stories

What students say

Coming from Baku, adapting to Istanbul was easier than I feared. My physics professor invited me into his research group in my second semester, and now I spend Fridays running simulations instead of just reading about them.

Istinye University gave me a fifty percent tuition discount for my Engineering Management master's, which made studying abroad realistic on my family's budget. The admissions office even sent the scholarship letter I needed for my visa appointment.
