Market information

Teenagers make up 30% of Turkey's population two times higher than EU average. Did you know that each year over 1.5 million Turkish students take the National University Placement Exam, but only 30% of them are placed in a university in Turkey? This means that many students will be looking to foreign institutions for admission. Turkey's political stability and recent economical improvements have made study abroad more accessible to students. Based on our past experience, we believe that Turkish students are playing an important role in enhancing student diversity on school campuses all over the world.
