Student stories
What students say
“I sew my own collections in the textile workshop on the Şile campus, and the sea view honestly helps me think. Işık University also gave me a fifty percent scholarship, which is why I could afford Istanbul at all.”
“My mechanical engineering program is in Turkish, and the preparatory year made that possible; my TÖMER teachers drilled me until technical lectures felt normal. Back in Almaty I worried about paperwork, but staff here were patient with every document.”
