Reviews
“I am writing my Sociology thesis on migration, and my supervisor connected me with two fieldwork sites in my first month. The international office even helped me get my documents apostilled back home in Rabat.”
“My Nursing master's at Istanbul Arel University pairs every thesis student with a clinical supervisor early. Mine answered my ethics-committee questions on a Sunday so I would not miss the submission window.”
“The Information Security Technology labs at Arel run live attack-defense exercises, not just slides. After classes I take the metrobus back across Istanbul and review the packet captures we collected that day.”
