Dear Students,
At Istanbul Gelisim University, our mission is to cultivate qualified individuals by prioritizing quality and international standards in education. Through our academic achievements, internationalization efforts, and support for research projects, we continue to strengthen the future of our students.
Within the framework of our university’s core principle of “awareness,” we support our students in developing their foreign language skills, helping them express themselves confidently in the global arena. Undergraduate and associate degree students enrolled in Turkish-taught programs who achieve a minimum score of 70 on the YDS or YÖKDİL exams will have their foreign language course fees covered by our university.
Furthermore, to encourage our students to gain international experience, we provide round-trip flight ticket support to those who travel abroad at their own expense for language education. Through our “I Have an Idea” program, we help students bring their creative projects to life and support our graduates in starting their own businesses by covering their office furniture expenses.
With 45 YÖK-approved TYÇ-labeled diplomas that facilitate international learning, internships, and employment, and 40 accredited programs, Istanbul Gelisim University — the university with the highest number of international accreditations in Türkiye — draws a world without borders for its students. Guided by the philosophy of continuous improvement, we provide education and practical opportunities at international standards, as reflected in our success in global rankings such as Webometrics, Greenmetric, SCImago, RUR, and THE.
Alongside our emphasis on research projects and internationalization, we attach great importance to your personal development, cultural experiences, and social life. I want you to understand that the time you spend here is not limited to your academic success. We are here not only for you to gain knowledge but also to help you discover yourself and engage with your environment.
We encourage our students to experience diverse cultures, gain new perspectives, and build global networks. Every opportunity we offer is designed to contribute not only to your academic growth but also to your personal and professional development.
We are here to guide and support you on this journey. Dear students, during this important period of your life, I wish you to enrich yourselves not only with knowledge but also through valuable experiences.
As Istanbul Gelisim University, we continue to play a leading role in education, contributing to the future of our students and our country. We invite you to join us on this exciting journey.
