International Trade and Business

As a result of globalization in the 21st century, the world economy is being shaped by the integration of international products, capital and even the service markets and the changes brought about by this integration.  This situation creates both risks and opportunities for the Turkish economy, just as it does for other economies around the world.  Thanks to the momentum established in the first decade of the 21st century, the Turkish economy has reached an important foreign trade volume and foreign investment level.  Turkish companies have reached out to more foreign markets and have truly turned into multinational corporations by creating global brands, initiating strategic ventures or take-overs and realizing joint ventures with foreign companies.  This process has led to an increased need for specialists that can take advantage of risks and opportunities created by global competition, can adapt to different cultural structures, and can make decisions regarding marketing, financing and other strategic subjects, in other words, personnel that can ascend under the globalizing world conditions to managerial positions at international corporations.

The International Student Recruitment Office at Istanbul Bilgi University is always working on processing and evaluating students’ applications within a short time span.

Applications’ deadline is set to August-end regarding fall-semester applications. Future international students are required to submit their applications as soon as their official documents are ready.

The students who haven’t graduated from High-school and who want to send their application early and during their senior/last year of high school, can do so as follows:

• The evaluation will be done over the complete high school transcripts (3 or 4 years) and if accepted will be issued a ‘Conditional Acceptance Letter’.
• Once the student has graduated and obtained the high-school diploma with the corresponding official transcripts, the student should forward these last documents to the International Student Recruitment Office to issue the ‘Final Acceptance Letter’.
