International students from 182 countries are studying in the field of higher education in Turkey. The number of foreign students, which was 40 thousand 4 years ago, has reached 180 thousand. Serious studies are also carried out by higher education institutions in order to reach the target of 500 thousand.
In this sense, Abdulkadir Gayretli, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Istanbul Gelişim University (IGU), drawing attention to the increase in the number of international students in Turkey in recent years, explained the reasons why international students choose Turkey.
Drawing attention to the fact that Turkey, which is a bridge between two continents, is physically accessible, Abdulkadir Gayretli said, "However, the fact that it acts as a cultural link and bridge between Asia and Europe makes it a preferred country."
