Overview

The curriculum of this Computer Engineering programme from Istanbul Okan University ensures that students are kept abreast of the latest developments in the field and prepares them for professional life.

Key Facts

Not only in Turkey but throughout the world, the need for qualified computer engineers continues, and we know that computer-based technologies are what bring the process of globalization to life. In this process, it is essential not only to acquire sound technical knowledge, but to learn foreign languages as well. Therefore, our students are encouraged to learn a second foreign language in addition to English, so that when they graduate from Okan, they will be that much better equipped to work as computer professionals anywhere in the world, and to interact with the world.

Since the 2005-2006 academic year, the Computer Engineering Department has been offering classes at Okan University’s Akfırat Campus, where students can benefit from state-of-the-art technology and computer laboratories and learn from a growing faculty body comprised of leading academics.

I believe that successful careers await the graduates of Istanbul Okan University’s Computer Engineering Department, so long as they have the determination and will to pursue them. Our graduates will most certainly play an important role in meeting the needs of Information Systems both today and tomorrow, and I wish all of them the best of luck in their endeavors to that end.

Visa information

Student visas for Turkey
Are you from Bangladesh? You might need a student visa...

Don't worry, everything is ok. We're on it, and we're doing all we can to make your search for the right international degree in Turkey a little easier and more enjoyable.

Still, while we’re catching up, you can always beat us to it and:

• Check if you really need a student visa. Since you're from Bangladesh and planning full-time academic study in Turkey, yes, you’ll definitely need a student visa.

• Start exploring the official website of the Turkish Embassy in Dhaka or the Turkish visa office. That’s where all the latest and most reliable information lives. Bookmark it, read it, reread it.

• Check the deadlines. The visa process takes time and missing a step or delaying your application could mean missing your semester start. Not the kind of plot twist you want.

• Go on a paperwork treasure hunt. Passport, university acceptance letter from a recognized Turkish university, completed visa application form, proof of financial support, passport-sized photos, academic documents, language test results if needed—yes, the list is long, and yes, you’ll need every piece.

• Start saving up. You’ll need to show you can financially support yourself while studying in Turkey. That means proving you can cover tuition, living expenses, and maybe even a few Turkish breakfasts and metro rides.

• Enhance your English or Turkish skills depending on your program. Some universities teach in English, others in Turkish. Strong language skills will benefit both your visa process and academic success.

All in all, getting your Turkish student visa might feel like a lot, but it’s a big step toward an even bigger adventure.

Thanks and good luck.
