Student stories
What students say
“My counselor checked every document twice before I applied to Istanbul Kultur University, so my acceptance letter came in nine days. Now I'm studying Public Relations and Advertising and interning with a local agency.”
“I take English Language Education classes in the morning and practice teaching in the afternoon. Living in Istanbul on the European side, my commute to the Ataköy campus is just fifteen minutes by metro.”
