About This Course
Education in Türkiye went into high gear in the first half of the 20th century. Large-scale education campaigns were organized following the proclamation of the Republic of Türkiye to improve the literacy rate which today stands at 98%.
Foreign language learning is continuously increasing in Türkiye, and certain high schools and universities even provide education exclusively in foreign languages.
With more than 200 universities and close to 8,500,000 university students, Türkiye is a country where young foreigners can undertake an undergraduate or graduate program to study and hone their skills. Campus life is very active, thanks to the presence of social clubs, sports teams, and the availability of many cultural activities, while local universities grant numerous scholarship opportunities to successful students.
The country’s weather and climate diversity are a dream for adventurous students yearning for a wide range of outdoor activities and extreme sports across unique landscapes, ranging from sailing, diving, camping, and hiking to skiing, snowboarding, paragliding, or even skydiving. Another enticing factor is the legendary Turkish hospitality – the Turkish people are exceptionally warm and welcoming!

Successful students also have the opportunity to stay in university dormitories.
