Turkey is a country that sits geographically at the center of the world map. Home to one of the most industrious people in the world. There are many reasons why Turkey is a good place to Study.
1. Multicultural – Over the years Turkey has come a long way to solidify its position in the global arena as a bridge between the continents of the East and the West, its landmass stretching through both Europe and Asia, also with close proximity to Africa. It is a cultural melting pot where people of all cultures and faiths can feel at home. In the past few decades, more than 30,000 international students have come to Turkey to study, with growing numbers coming from continental Europe, Africa, the United States and Asia.
2. Standard of Education – Turkey is one of the world’s fastest-growing economies, reflecting its ambitions to compete in the global market for international students.
Degrees granted by Turkish universities are recognized across the world and a growing number of programs are taught in English, especially in areas such as engineering, international relations and business. Many of Turkey’s universities have modern campuses and state-of-the-art facilities.
3. Affordable – Tuition fees and the cost of living are lower in Turkey than in most European or American countries yet the quality of education is still high. There are also scholarships available that cover not only tuition fees but accommodation, insurance and travel costs.
4. Language – A growing number of courses at Turkish universities are taught in English and many others offer the opportunity to learn English. English is also widely spoken in the major cities.
5. History – Turkey has a rich history, full of ancient sites and ruins that bear testament to the many civilizations that emerged and flourished, such as the Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman empires. In Turkey, you will find the world’s best-preserved Neolithic settlement at Çatalhöyük, Noah’s Ark, the famous city of Troy and the statues of Greek and Persian gods on Mount Nemrut, described by Unesco as the 8th wonder of the world.
6. Exciting-With 20 million inhabitants, hip, fast-paced Istanbul is one of the world’s largest cities and the only one that spans two continents. It is surrounded by the waters of the Bosphorus strait and the Sea of Marmara and is a cultural hub with breathtaking landmarks such as the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. High on a rocky hill inland is Ankara, Turkey’s modern capital with a historic heart. The port of Izmir, on the sparkling Aegean coast, is surrounded by olive groves and vineyards and close to Ephesus with its impressive Roman ruins.
7. Hospitality – Turks are popular for their warmth and hospitality. The symbol of Turkish hospitality is çay (tea). You can expect to be invited to drink tea and play tavla (backgammon) with the locals and for breakfast by your neighbors. Most Turks enjoy foreign visitors and are always eager to practice their English.
