EMU Ranks 50th on International Student Profile Category of THE Currently, EMU boasts about 20 thousand students from 106 different countries and the number of international students is on the rise every year. In a recent statement, EMU Rector Prof. Dr. Necdet Osam indicated that by featuring on this list EMU has once again proven that it is a truly international university. Prof. Dr. Osam stated: “Thousands of students from many different countries receive high quality international education in our safe campus environment with strong infrastructure and prominent faculty members. International students that are satisfied with our university, lead to more international students arriving at our university. Our graduates gain the opportunity to work at respectable positions in their countries. Therefore, our international student population increases every year.”
Meanwhile a statement from THE indicated that the higher education world is getting smaller. As more and more students are choosing to study abroad, students are looking to universities to provide an international experience, the opportunity to study alongside students from all over the world, and to give them a truly global higher education community in which to study.
