A Guide to Study Abroad in Ankara

What you need to know about studying abroad in Ankara

Ankara universities and study abroad programs thrive in many areas, meaning that subjects to study here are not limited to a particular field or subject. Contacting the school, university, or program directly will certainly throw out some great opportunities for you.

Popular subjects to study include religious studies and history. The Ankara you see today has been built up in quite recent years; because of this, studying history is really the only way to catch a glimpse of what this city was like in times gone by. Studying history and religious studies is a good choice for those interested in digging right into the past life of Turkish cities.

Short term and summer programs vs. long term programs. Trying to decide short term vs. long term will be a dilemma you’ll face when deciding what kind of program or course to study in Ankara. If you’re free from any home commitments and can afford to, consider studying in Ankara for as long as possible; this will give you a real opportunity to immerse yourself in your course, learn about your field of study in more detail, and make great connections to the city and people around you. If you are already a student, consider taking a unit or two of your course abroad; this will give you a bit of an edge with your current studies and broaden your mind. Speak to your current school to ask about possible study abroad options.

Attending universities vs. other program types. You’ll have the opportunity to study through your university, a Turkish university, or a third-party provider. Third-party providers are perfect for people who love being the perpetual student, or have never been to university, but want to learn and study. University courses in Ankara are a great option for those wishing to undertake an undergraduate or postgraduate degree abroad at one of Turkey’s top universities.
