THE GLOBALIZATION OF EDUCATION: A STUDY ON INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS IN TÜRKİYE

Abstract

The goal of this study is to conduct research on international students in Türkiye while examining the consequences of globalization on education. The distribution of numbers, education levels, departments and nationalities of these students is discussed using statistical data published by the Council of Higher Education (CHE). The general screening approach, one of the qualitative research methodologies, is used to analyse this data. Survey methods are a common analysis tool in big sample size investigations. To achieve more rational results, the scope of the investigation was limited to the last five years. According to the findings, it is observed that the number of international students in Türkiye is increasing year after year. While bachelor education is the most preferred level, the most preferred department is business administration. These students are mostly from Türkiye's neighbouring nations, the Middle East, and Africa, yet when we look at graduation rates, we see that students from Europe are more successful.
