International students from 182 countries study in higher education in Turkey. The number of international students has reached 180 thousand, which was 40000 four years ago. In order to achieve the target of 500000, serious studies are carried out by higher education institutions.
In this sense, drawing attention to the increase in the number of international students in recent years in Turkey, Istanbul Gelisim University (IGU) Chairman of the Board of Trustees Abdülkadir Gayretli explained the reasons why international students prefer Turkey.
Stating that Turkey that serves a bridge between two continents is physically accessible, Abdülkadir Gayretli said: "On the other hand, serving as a cultural link and bridge between Asia and Europe makes it a preferred country, as well."
