Student stories
What students say
“I chose Visual Communication Design because the Halkalı campus studios stay open late. Coming from Tehran, I worried about adapting, but my professors at Sabahattin Zaim reviewed my portfolio one-on-one before the first semester started.”
“When my transcript translation was rejected, my counselor at Istanbul Sabahattin Zaim University re-did the notarization with me in two days. Now I'm in my second year of Pre-School Teaching and finally settled.”
