VILNIUS TECH Strengthens Partnership: A Delegation from Turkey Visits the University
A delegation from various private schools in Turkey has visited VILNIUS TECH. This visit aimed to strengthen a partnership that has been successfully developing for several years and to provide a closer look at the university, which is being chosen by an increasing number of prospective students from Turkey.
The delegation comprised 32 representatives: school principals, network representatives, and other education professionals from the cities of Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir, as well as the Minister of Education for the Istanbul region.
During this return visit, VILNIUS TECH vice-rectors presented the university, its strategic directions, and its study programs to the Turkish delegation. The delegation also visited the Faculties of Mechanics, Electronics, and Transport Engineering and the modern Laboratory Building, where they were introduced to the scientific activities and research conducted at VILNIUS TECH. The guests met with current Turkish students in an informal setting, who gladly shared their experiences.
This return visit comes after several years of VILNIUS TECH's initiatives in Turkey: for three years now, university representatives have been actively visiting schools in the country, organizing presentations and specialized events together with the Embassy of the Republic of Lithuania in Turkey to introduce high school students to study opportunities in Lithuania.
"These efforts are yielding clear results. Currently, 102 students from Turkey are studying at VILNIUS TECH, and we plan to admit about 90 more this year. The Turkish student community is becoming one of the largest at the university—the fifth largest," says Dovilė Jodenytė, Director of the International Studies Centre.
Most of these students come from private schools with a high academic standing, where instruction is in English, following the International Baccalaureate or other international programs. This ensures that the prospective students arriving at VILNIUS TECH are well-prepared and highly motivated.
It is hoped that this visit will further encourage cooperation and that an increasing number of talented students from Turkey will join VILNIUS TECH each year, strengthening the university's community and its internationality.
