urkey is playing a significant role at the crossroads of
East and West that has begun attracting international
interests in all sectors. Due to its great location
between Europe and Asia, Turkey became an international
hub. Its growing economy caused the world bank to rank
Turkey in the 17th place worldwide in 2017. According to
the Ministry of Finance in Turkey. Its top global exports are
vehicles and machinery, bringing in more than €23 billion
as profit to the country in 2016 alone. The new airport in
Istanbul is planned to be the biggest airport in the world.

T
here are many international student groups running in Turkey which
organise events and trips allowing you to meet people in similar situations
to you and also to see different parts of the country. Big cities never sleep,
as a result you will never have any problem looking for something to do in
your free time. If you are in Istanbul there are plenty of places to go out and have
a nice time especially in the European and Asian nightlife spots which are Taksim
and Kadiköy. You will also be able to have a great social life in some of the holiday
resort cities such as Izmir, Fethiye and Antalya where you can spend your free
time relaxing on the beach.
Accommodation
T
here are lots of affordable apartments especially for students throughout
the city, you can also stay in hostels for the duration of your stay if you
prefer a cheaper option or as temporary shelter. You can find places to
live online at www.sahibinden.com or for better deals you may be able to
find accommodation through the international student organisations websites as
they often cater to students who are staying temporarily although please note that
these deals may be limited and it is recommended that you visit the apartment
before you commit to moving in.

T URKEY has been prospering since the dawn of civilisation,
a land of contrast, blending forward thinking modernity and
historical tradition. Believed to be among one the oldest
permanently settled regions in the world, with some of the greatest
and most about written civilisations in history, such as the Byzantine
and Ottoman empires, Turkey stands as a “gateway” between Asia and
Europe. The main cities are Istanbul, often thought of as the capital
of EurAsia; Ankara, the nation’s capital and political home; and Izmir,
located in the west of Turkey on the Aegean coastline.
28 ATLAS STUDY IN TURKEY / 2018-2019 GUIDEO
ver recent years Turkey has emerged as a fantastic choice for
international students. Since 2005 there has been a two fold
increase in the number of international students choosing Turkish
universities, bringing the count in the last academic year to well
over 100.000 While students from neighbouring countries such as Azerbaijan,
Turkmenistan and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus form the top three
in terms of international student representation, there are growing numbers
coming from continental Europe, Africa, the United States and Asia.
A combination of vast and varied landscape, beautiful coastlines and vibrant
culture, sees Turkey as a popular destination for international students. Other
contributing factors are Turkey’s current global stature as the second fastest
growing economy in the world and strides being made on the world stage
of both politics and diplomacy. The ambitions of Turkish Universities to be a
leading choice for international students have been bolstered by the Turkish
government’s significant investment into the education sector, with the
Turkish Ministry of National Education’s budget three times the size of what it
was in 2002.
With a growing number of programs taught in English and internationally
recognised courses in areas such as Engineering, International Relations and
Business, an increasing number of international degree seeking students are
opting for this unique study experience.

10 GOOD
REASONS TO
DISCOVER TURKEY
Emre UYSAL
emre@a2fairs.com
T URKEY has traditionally been a popular study
abroad destination with many prestigious
universities and courses to choose from. Below we
have outlined our favourite reasons to study in Turkey:
1. It is Multicultural
Turkey is literally a bridge between the East and the West, its landmass straddling
both Europe and Asia. With close proximity to Africa too, it is a cultural melting pot
where people of all cultures and faiths can feel at home. Indeed more than 100.000
international students come here to study, with growing numbers coming from
continental Europe, Africa, the United States and Asia.
2. It is Friendly
Turks are known for their warmth and hospitality. You will soon be drinking çay
(tea) and playing tavla (backgammon) with the locals and being invited round
for breakfast by your neighbours. Most Turks enjoy meeting foreign visitors
and practising their English.
3. It Has Natural Wonders
Turkey has more than 5.000 miles of coastline and is washed by the
waters of four very different seas, the Mediterranean to the south, the
Aegean to the west, the Black Sea to the north and the small Sea of
Marmara just below Istanbul. The Kaçkar mountains in the north east
are a hiker’s paradise with secret valleys, wonderful views and rare
wildlife.
4. And Exciting Cities
With 12 million inhabitants, hip, fast paced Istanbul is one of the
world’s largest cities and the only one to span 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.

nglish is used in many countries
today either as a first language or
as an alternative means for cross
cultural communication.
English as the primary medium of international
communication in the world today has attained a different
role other than a second or a foreign language. The
increase in the use of English leads naturally to a demand
for people with the knowledge of English. Learning English
has become a part of basic education. It has become a
key to getting ahead in life all over the world, and teaching
English is an important business and a major part of
educational policies of governments including Turkish
goverment too.
It is vital to have a good command of English language in
Turkey, not only for young generation,for all age groups
too. English is one of the subjects taught in most of the
government sponsored primary and secondary schools in
Turkey. French and German are the alternative languages,
but the majority of the students select English, and in
most cases they have no other alternative. Besides these
traditional government schools, a number of private and
government sponsored secondary schools exist in which
the medium of instruction for most subjects is English.
Most of these schools are located in the bigger cities such
as Ankara, Istanbul and Izmir, but in recent years such
schools have been founded in other cities as well. Most of
them have primary sections where instruction in English
begins as early as the second year.

as IB, ABITUR, IGCSE. Turkish is fully capable of fulfilling the
communicational needs of the society.
English has a definite instrumental function as a means for
connecting Turkey to the outside world. And this connection is
vital to keep up with scientific and technological developments.
Because of this, almost all universities offers their academic
programs in English language.
Apart from academic institutions, Private language schools
offer strong English language programs such as TOEF / IELTS
Preparation, General English, EAP and other langauge programs
from 2 weeks to 2 years in duration. It is a good opportunity
to enroll in private langauge schools in Turkey due to the low
