The Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, clearly stated that his country is devoted to becoming one of the 5 most popular study destination in the near future. In his speech at the 11th International Students Gathering at Istanbul’s Halic Congress Center among others, the president said

“Soon all foreign students will receive working permissions in Turkey”

The number of international students coming to study in Turkey is increasing steadily. However, the government is determined to speed up the pace of growth.

Currently, 170,812 foreign students are studying in Turkey most of them seeking an undergraduate degree. And they have set the goal of reaching 350,000 students soon. As part of their plan to achieve this goal, the government will allow international students to work during their studies and after graduation.
