Some of the most promising spheres for cooperation identified by the meeting participants were the creation of a joint specialization within the English-language MA program "Governance and Global Affairs", performing joint research and organizing language placements for students.
Bosphorus State University is one of the most famous universities in Turkey, which was established as Robert College in 1863 (the first American university abroad) in a beautiful place in the city on the banks of the Bosphorus. The old campus still has the appearance of an American university. Currently there are 13 thousand students enrolled at the university and all graduate programs are taught in English.
