Studying in Turkey - Bilkent University Ankara..

Located in Ankara, Turkey, Bilkent University was created in 1984.

With foreign students from more than 72 countries attending Bilkent, anyone going to Turkey to study will be comfortable experiencing Turkish culture with the company of other student travelers.

Aside from the long-standing opera houses and modern dance theaters, the city of Ankara also boasts many markets and scattered shops. The business district offers antiques, jewelry and traditional kilims, or in English, rugs.

After visiting the numerous historical sites in Ankara, students can choose to spend their weekends traveling to places such as Istanbul or visit the Mediterranean and Black Seas. When it comes time to refuel after traveling the countryside of Turkey, students can choose to purchase a meal plan from the Table D’hote Cafeteria at the university or they can roam the dining district of Ankuva to take pleasure in the Turkish culinary arts.

When Turkish cuisine gets students sleepy, the residence halls at the university are a comfortable place to relax. The living quarters at Bilkent are fully furnished including a bed, desk and bookcase as well as Internet capabilities and local and international direct-dial phones.

Students interested in the fall program arrive in August or early September, with classes beginning mid-September and ending in mid-January. Spring semester travelers arrive in early February, begin classes in mid-February and finish at the end of May. Both semester travel time periods include an orientation, course registration and Turkish courses.

The Bilkent exchange program is sponsored by SDSU’s International Student Center and the department of arts, design and art history. Other study abroad universities in Turkey sponsored by SDSU’s ISC are Anadolu University and Bogazici University.
