Istanbul, Turkey Project Center - MQP
Istanbul, Türkiye's vibrant metropolis, is a city where the ancient and modern coexist in perfect harmony. As the former capital of the Eastern Roman, Byzantine, Latin, and Ottoman Empires, it is steeped in history, with stunning historic sites at every turn. Uniquely positioned at the crossroads of two continents—Europe and Asia—Istanbul offers a rich cultural blend that is unmatched anywhere else.
The city is a hub of cultural activity, hosting prestigious events such as the Istanbul Biennale, the Istanbul Film Festival, and the Istanbul Jazz Festival. Designated as the 2010 European Capital of Culture, Istanbul continues to thrive as a center of arts, music, and entertainment. With two international airports, the city is just 1 hour away from domestic destinations and 1 to 3 hours away from international attraction centers.
Istanbul’s dynamic energy is complemented by its delicious cuisine, vibrant nightlife, bustling markets, and the enchanting Bosphorus. For students, the city offers a rich blend of history, culture, and modernity, creating a unique and inspiring environment.
Sabancı University is conveniently located on the eastern outskirts of Istanbul, in the district of Tuzla. As a private, independent, and relatively young university, it provides a student-friendly campus just 20 minutes away from Sabiha Gökçen Airport. The university offers regular shuttle bus services to major city centers and is situated near a large outlet mall, making it an ideal location for students to experience all that Istanbul has to offer.
