International University

I am Ebrahim Ba Salama. I come from Yemen. I came to Turkey in 2011. I won a scholarship in Turkey. I completed my undergraduate education in chemical engineering at Anadolu University. After completing my undergraduate education, I came to Yalova University to pursue a master's degree in the chemical engineering department. Yalova University was recommended to me by a friend. I decided to choose Yalova after I came here because I saw that my friend is successful and I loved the city of Yalova very much. Before I came here, I was very worried if I would be able to learn Turkish here. The fact that I came here and learned Turkish at TÖMER helped me a lot in my success. After I finished my undergraduate studies, I went back to Yemen. I wanted to study for a master's degree, but I did not know where to study and which university would accept me, and I did a lot of research. I chose Yalova University with the recommendation of my friend. I researched Yalova University. I used to come to Yalova to visit. I applied online while I was in Yemen. I received my acceptance letter within a month. I was very happy and I immediately returned to Turkey and completed my registration process. After I came to Yalova University, I improved myself a lot in my field with their help, since the education here is really qualified and the professors are experts in their fields. After staying in Turkey, I had the opportunity to travel more. After coming to Yalova University, I had to pay the fees of Yalova University to pass the 2nd semester after completing the 1st semester and I was really struggling financially. I wrote a petition in order to pay my fee at a future date. After I wrote the petition, they gave me 1 more semester and it really helped me a lot. I am really glad that I studied at Yalova University. The education level here is really high quality and the instructors, laboratories and social activities here are really great. At the same time, this city gives people the desire to study. All of these are really helpful in my career. While I was studying at Yalova University, my self-confidence increased the most. Here, my self-confidence in my field increased with the presentations, assignments, and the projects we did. It really helped a lot in business. I came to Turkey in 2011 and have visited almost 20 cities so far. Yalova is one of the most livable cities. Both in terms of social life and the natural beauties. People of Yalova are really hospitable. People here greet you with love. My advice to international students coming to Yalova University is that the quality of education at Yalova University is very high, they should not hesitate to ask questions to the professors and they should live their lives to the fullest here in Yalova. Yalova University is a university that can be preferred with peace of mind. I had the chance to work during my higher education. I am currently working in a company as an engineer. I'm thinking of pursuing a PhD after I finish my master's education. I wish success to the students coming to Yalova University.
