The main goal of education in today’s world is to help learners become global citizens. One of the characteristics of global citizenship is ‘interculturality,’ which involves having a tolerant and respectful attitude towards individuals and groups from other cultural backgrounds, and being open to, interested in, curious about, and empathetic towards people from other cultures.
Bahçeşehir University, located in the heart of Istanbul at the crossroads between Europe and Asia, and hosting students from 48 different countries, is the perfect place to help you become an intercultural and global citizen. We are dedicated to promoting cross-cultural understanding through different programs and services. One of the programs we provide which promotes global citizenship is our language learning program.
Language learning helps students understand that interaction with individuals who have differing social identities and cultures is an enriching experience. At Bahçeşehir University’s English Preparatory School, we offer our students an intensive English Program, both in Istanbul and in the USA, which aims to prepare them for studies in their departments, equipping them with the necessary English skills required for higher education at international standards.
The Study Abroad Program (BESL) offered by the English Preparatory School equips students with the English skills necessary to pursue studies in their various faculties. In addition, the program renders students self-sufficient, autonomous individuals by providing them with the opportunity to discover and experience different cultures and embrace a sense of responsibility before embarking upon their undergraduate studies.
We would like to make a significant contribution to our students in their journeys in this global world and would be pleased to have you on board.
