Turkey Becomes Education Hub for International Students

With about 178,000 foreign students receiving their higher education in its territories, Turkey has begun to be a center of attraction for those looking forward to studying abroad.

A total of 207 universities across the country offer some 60,000 different programs for foreign students coming to Turkey with their own means or through scholarships.

By 2023, Turkey aims to host over a quarter-million international students.

The international students are able to benefit from the social, cultural and academic activities of Turkish higher education institutions, and receive professional education.

Upon their graduation, the students do not lose their contact with Turkey and serve as voluntary envoys connecting Turkey and their home country. There are a total of 29 student associations from 28 countries, promoting the alumni ties with Turkey.
