Merhaba arkadaşlar,
one of my plans is studying in Turkey
I'm interesting in PhD studies - I want write my thesis about political system, leadership, campaigning. I can't hardly wait for being there, taking part in various lectures, sitting at a library and... of course living there.
Is there any ranking of universities?
Which one do you personally recommend?

P.S. Maybe I will be at METU, if I will have a scholarship. The decision is not taken yet by the commission.

Selamlar and çok teşekkürler

Offf yaaa,
why didn't I choose Bogazici (good university, beautiful Istanbul...)
it's easier to enter as a foreign student bcoz they want fee for a semester, some documents and you can be "special student". Anyway, in Bogazici people were very friendly and ready to help.
But... I had only two days to decide and I wanted go to the place which is not expensive (my polish government will not give me a lot of money).
I heard that METU is a very good one and for me - in political science it was very important to be close to the political life.
Bilkent - right - very nice PhD program (my Turkish friend told "snobbish").

I will try in those places - maybe I will become a normal student (not from an exchange)?

Thank you very much for your reply

if you want to study in ankara rather than istanbul
about politics i recommend you to choose Ankara university... METU is good but there are lots of things that make it ugly... the behaviour of students.. and the noble attitudes like they have been the king of the world once they are in METU.. we raced with them last summer Solar Racing... they came with 2 team... and that teams werent talking to eachother and they were gossipping and irritating all the ppl there... METU is really some kinda weird place in istanbul as it is politics you are interested in... it can Bogazici is your only choice and its istanbul.. but if you need to watch the turkish politics ankara can be much better as TBMM is there...

good luck to you
