Prof. Dr. Arda Öztürkcan also added, "In addition to the comprehensive trainings we provide within IGU, we also care about our students' gaining international working experience. We are the first in Türkiye with 65 accredited departments. We bring our students together with the whole world on the way to internationalization."
