Student stories

What students say

“The Kadir Has campus is a restored tobacco factory on the Golden Horn, and working on Industrial Design projects inside that building changes how you think about form. Our studio critiques run late but nobody wants to leave.”

Sara HaddadIndustrial Design · Jordan

“My Computational Science and Engineering courses at Kadir Has University are small enough that professors know exactly where each of us is stuck. I emailed mine about a solver bug on a Sunday and had an answer by Monday morning.”
