Student stories
What students say
“Studying Civil Air Transportation Management at Istanbul Okan University means guest lectures from people who actually work at the airports here. Our ground operations course included a visit to a working terminal.”
“The Elderly Care Services program pairs classroom theory with practice at partner care centers. Okan's campus in Tuzla is quieter than central Istanbul, which honestly helped me focus during my first year abroad.”
