Turkey

Turkey can be a good choice for students looking to pursue higher studies from abroad, specifically from a European university.

The country is home to a number of world class higher education institutes including the Istanbul University that ranks #487 globally & the Ozyegin University which secures a global rank #622 as part of the latest Shiksha Popularity Rankings.

The country also offers a decent infrastructure that provides students the opportunity to earn a full-time job & live permanently after a few years.

As per data curated from an unofficial source, the urban cities of Ankara & Istanbul are more likely to provide students with post-study employment opportunities than other cities in the country.

These two cities house a much better infrastructure & an environment conducive to some of the best European organizations than the rest of the country.

The likes of Turkish Airlines & Hi-well are some popular recruiters at Istanbul based colleges & universities such as Isik University.

As per the latest country-level rankings given by Shiksha, the Bilkent University is deemed the #1 higher educational institute in the country.

Based in Ankara, the institute attains a global university rank #448 as part of the latest Shiksha Popularity Rankings, topping the charts for MS & MA courses in Shiksha's course-specific rankings.

Izmir Institute of Technology & Istanbul University rank #2 & #3 respectively among all colleges & universities in Turkey.

Turkey is not cheap to study, as is the case with other popular European countries.

The estimated annual costs of studies in private universities in Turkey ranges between USD 4,000-USD 9,000 (INR 3.4 L-INR 7.7 L).

Further, students must also take into account the costs associated with living in the country which ranges between USD 400-USD 650 (INR 34.2 K-INR 55.5 K) per month, as per data curated from an unofficial source.
