International Relations

Istanbul University, as one of Turkey’s oldest and most prestigious universities, offers a solid academic environment supported by experienced and dedicated professors. Faculty members are approachable and promote interactive learning, encouraging students to actively participate in lectures, discussions, and academic projects. Campus life is lively thanks to a wide variety of student-run clubs and organizations. These clubs are quite active, providing students with opportunities to engage in cultural, artistic, and professional activities. However, while student clubs are dynamic, the university itself tends to fall short in organizing large-scale campus events such as festivals, concerts, and university-wide gatherings. This lack of institutional events is often seen as a gap in the overall campus experience. In recent years, the university has increasingly emphasized the importance of foreign languages, particularly English. Many programs now offer courses partially or fully in English, and students are encouraged to use English in lectures, presentations, and assignments. Although Istanbul University is not a fully English-medium institution, it is progressively fostering a more bilingual academic environment.

Scholars

Unity University is enriched with outstanding scholars, largely because of Dr. Arega’s exceptional vision and strong commitment to delivering quality education. And I strongly suggest for anyone to attend.
