The finance sector is a sector that develops in parallel with the development of the economy and trade, but can be expressed with greater multipliers in terms of the value it creates quantitatively. In this sense, while the field of finance exhibits an interdisciplinary structure, its rapid development and expansion have created a specialized area that can be addressed on its own. In recent years, the development of financial markets and the diversification of financial instruments have, on the one hand, brought new financial management techniques to the forefront, while, on the other, increasing the risks and uncertainties in this area, increasing the importance of financial risk management.
The monetary value of transactions in international financial markets has far exceeded the monetary value of transactions in goods and services markets. This autonomous development and integration of international financial markets has also increased the need for a trained workforce, particularly those fluent in English, to monitor these markets.

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!
