📝 Description

Demand for studying abroad from Turkish students has been consistently growing, amplified by the large inflow of student refugees that begin their lives in Turkey.
Favourable study destinations for these students include Germany, the US, the UK and Canada among others. As student numbers grow, their demands are diversifying and issues like visas, work and study possibilities as well as a welcoming environment are the key issues Turkish students care about.

This session delves into the main motivators and expectations of Turkish students aiming to study abroad; as well as highlight the hurdles Turkish students face in their aspiration for an international education.
