Student stories

What students say

“Our Biomedical Engineering labs at Istanbul Yeni Yüzyıl University have real hospital equipment, not just simulators, because the university partners with a private hospital group. I calibrated an actual dialysis machine in my second-year practical.”

Arjun NairBiomedical Engineering · India

“Studying Architecture at Yeni Yüzyıl University means Istanbul itself becomes your studio, our professor took us sketching in Zeytinburnu and along the old city walls. The campus is small, so instructors actually know your name.”
