International Universities in Turkey: Why to Prefer Turkey for Education

Turkey has been rising among the western countries in quite a few industries other than real estate. In education, the country has competed with the most prestigious schools on a global scale. Through various reforms in their institutional system the Ministry of Education, MEB, aims to raise the level of higher education in the country while charming foreign minds with the culture and lifestyle of the country.

Why Turkey?

Be it for a short exchange studies, or staying in your forever home, you will always feel welcomed by the Turkish community. The desire to help those around them is in everyone here. Turks easily get hyped for every sporting competition, especially for soccer, even if they do not know the competitors. The latest gold medal winners of marathon runners were African descendants holding their Turkish citizenship for a few years. Yet, the community never once sees the competitors anything but one of them. Soccer teams who compete in global leagues with half foreign numbers are cheered like they are family.

There are mosques, churches, and synagogues that share the same neighborhood. People in those streets act as a singular community, respecting one another and visiting one another during their separate holidays. While Turkey operates under the Islamic holiday schedule, people will celebrate their friends’ holidays no matter the day.

The Government's Continues Support of International Education

Turkey annually hosts thousands of students to receive their degree in Turkish universities through distinctive grants and benefits offered by the government. This makes education in Turkey an unforgettable experience and an unbeatable opportunity for young people to experience.

Turkey's top-quality educational institutions, cultural diversity, and one of a kind lifestyle have transformed the country, especially Istanbul, into an internationally recognized destination for human resources. The investment of academic researches has yielded a rapid increase in the awareness of intellectual property rights, as well as booming local businesses that now became phenomenons in the world. Istanbul alone had 34 thousand professors teaching 890 thousand university students.
