Also how foreigners are treated, Pls i will also like if you can mention a few very good institutions for MSc studies and how one can go about applying.

I eagerly await your reply.


@magribis,

okay. Turkey has more than 90 reputable universities located across the states. one of the mega and metropolitant cities of turkey is ISTANBUL and the capital is called ANKARA
ISTANBUL
is a fascinating city built on two Continents, is one of the greatest cities in the world where you can see a modern western city combined with a traditional eastern city, it's a melting pot of many civilizations and different people. Istanbul is the largest city in Turkey and one of the major cities of the world.

There are over 90 universities in Turkey, out of which 2/3 are State and 1/3 are Private. All of these universities are controlled by YOK, "Yuksek Ogretim Kurumu" or Council of Higher Education. Private universities tuition fees are much higher than State universities.There are 29 universities in Istanbul; 7 of them are State and 22 are Private.

here is a list of universities in Istanbul, in alphabetical order:

1. Arel University
2. Aydin University

some of these universities use Turkish as medium of instruction while many use English.
if you like busy city that has everything like metro bus, train, good night life and humid weather then you can choose ISTANBUL for your university cos is very close to many other European cities and Asian cities. Although Istanbul is more expensive just like Lagos is more expensive compare to leaving in zamfara state cos of many sight seeing in lag so as Istanbul.

there are many universities in Istanbul that offer many courses and use English as medium of instruction and highly reputable and accredited by EUA. like Bogazici university and istanbul tech university etc. www.boun.edu.tr and www.itu.edu.tr.
the tuition fees for istanbul tech university for MSC is 1020dols/year and that of bogazici is 620dols/semester.

Also you can check a very good university in ANKARA called middle east technical university. www.metu.edu.tr all the above mentioned universities have any course you might want to study in this world. so can check their site and see things yourself.
living expenses is low in turkey and for racism is in every where in this world including NIGERIA( niger delta, hausa killings, boko haram, christian -muslim marriages, all these are form of rasicm). even in AMERICA. so it is the degree that matter most. in Turkey they have low degree cos for me nobody has beaten me for once and none of my friends have once complained or may be becos i speak a bit of turkish but racism is minimal anyway no wala.


for you to apply for MSC , you need to present either GRE or GMAT score for entrance. if you are coming next year feb , then you need to apply for either of these exams and submit your application as soon as possible. Most schools own by Government are cheap and rang around 1000$ upward.
There are a lot of pple in Istanbul and turkey becos its an industrialized nation, far far industrialized more than many European countries , so there are jobs here especially for science oriented student but for the job to be easier you need to speak Turkish, just like when you are in the North of NIGERIA you need to speak Hausa to make things go well. But if you find yourself in multinational company you don't need to speak any language, BUT JOB GENERALLY HAS TO DO WITH YOUR QUALIFICATIONS AND GOD AND LUCK anywhere in this world.
am sure i have tried to give you what you requested for.
