Student stories
What students say
“Studying Turkish classical music at Haliç University in Istanbul means my oud teacher performs professionally and still corrects my maqam exercises one on one. Some evenings we rehearse, then I take the ferry home across the Golden Horn.”
“The pilot plant at Haliç University changed how I study food engineering; we pasteurize and test real samples every week instead of only reading theory. My advisor also walked me through my equivalence certificate step by step.”
