Student stories

What students say

“In medical laboratory techniques at Doğuş we handle the analyzers ourselves instead of watching demonstrations. My international office counselor even came with me to the residence permit appointment when my Turkish failed me.”

Tasnim RahmanMedical Laboratory Techniques · Bangladesh

“The information security labs at Doğuş run capture-the-flag exercises on isolated servers, so we practice real attacks legally. Living on the Asian side of Istanbul is also cheaper than my friends warned me.”
