Best University in the Middle East

After one year there on Erasmus+ programme I am proud to say I studied there. ITU is a huge university with several campuses around Istanbul providing the best facilities and education on engineering in Turkey and Middle Eastern countries. The evaluation system encouraged the continuous work through a diverse distribution of the final marks: midterm exams, quizzes, homework etc Besides, professors, and assistants were always helpful and interested in their students. It also fosters the implementation of project learning methods which leads to a higher entrepreneurship development within its students. Finally, it was quite easy to make a learning agreement both because the education is in English and there is a great interaction between different faculties allowing you to find your perfect schedule. Definitely a place where I would go for MSc and PhD.
