Study Abroad Programs Turkey

Straddling the crossroads between the European and Asian continents, Turkey is equally considered to be a European and a Middle Eastern country. Turkey is bordered on its European frontier by Greece, Bulgaria, Georgia, and Armenia, and on its Middle Eastern frontier by Syria, Iraq, and Iran. The nation of some 80 million people also boasts extensive coastlines on the Black, Aegean, and Mediterranean Seas.

Istanbul, the country’s largest city and historical capital, is typically the most popular city where international students study abroad in Turkey. Sitting pristinely on the Bosphorus strait between the Black Sea and Sea of Marmara, Istanbul has for thousands of years been a thriving cultural and economic hub of Eurasia. Today some 15 million people live in Istanbul’s metropolitan area, which is also home to some of the top universities where you can study abroad in Turkey, including Boğaziçi University and Istanbul University.

Other popular destinations where you might look to study abroad in Turkey include the nation’s capital of Ankara and the Mediterranean city of Adana. There are many more potential cities where you can study abroad in Turkey, and some programs will even take you to several different destinations throughout your studies, rather than stay rooted in one location. Explore a variety of study abroad programs in Turkey to land on the one which feels like the perfect fit!

Great education experience!

I had a great time learning and experiencing different cultures and meeting new people. The hands on work with individuals was very educational! Overall had an amazing time! One thing I would change is the order of activities. I felt that everything in Bulgaria worked out great and moved smoothly into the next activities. For Greece, I think having Athens first and then going to santorini would have been more relaxing. In Athens we did so much on our feet and had only one break the whole day, instead of doing Santorini first, it would be more relaxing if we could do the walking and touring in Athens and then have time to just hang out and sleep like we did in Santorini!

I have such a life changing experience
