Turkey aims to attract more Vietnamese students

At a recent meeting with Vietnamese Ambassador to Turkey Nguyen The Cuong, representatives from Turkish universities said they desire to receive more Vietnamese students to study in both Turkish and English.

Turkey is implementing new educational policies with the aim of becoming a Global Education Hub, so as to attract more international students, including those from Vietnam.
 
 
Accordingly, Turkey has spent US$96 million on 20 Government scholarship programmes and it expects to welcome 200,000 foreign students in 2023 from the current 54,000.
In addition to courses in Turkish, Vietnamese students can attend English-teaching programmes in some public and private schools including Hacettepe University, Ankara University, Akdenzi University, Istanbul University, Ipek and Meddle East Technical University-METU, Fatih University, Koc University, Meliksah University, and University Aviation University of Turkish Aeronautical Association.
To date, there have been 17 Vietnamese students studying in Turkey through Government scholarships, Horizon scholarships, and self-financed study.
