Strong Interest in Summer School and Positive Student Engagement in Ankara

On 17 February, Wittenborg participated in the Study Expo fair in Ankara, Türkiye, organised by the Study Expo consortium. The event welcomed around 1,000 students and parents eager to explore their future study options and connect directly with universities and schools.

Representing Wittenborg was Sinan Çolasan, Student Registrar, who spent the day speaking with prospective students and their families. Study Expo fairs aim to help students discover programmes, compare institutions and understand which programme, school or country best matches their interests and ambitions.

For Sinan, the visit was also personal. “Ankara is my hometown, so it is always a pleasure to come back. Being here brings a sense of familiarity and comfort. Besides, at fairs in Ankara, you always meet well-informed students who know what they are looking for. That also makes the exhibitors more motivated.”

The fair proved to be both busy and productive. “I feel quite positive. I had the chance to meet many prospective students. Before, during and after the fair, I also met with our recruitment partners, as well as several new companies with whom we will explore future collaboration following meetings in Ankara.”

One of the most encouraging outcomes was the strong interest in Wittenborg’s Summer School. Many students were keen to learn more about short-term study opportunities and how these can enhance their academic and professional development.

Wittenborg’s Turkish-language brochures connected particularly well with parents. Providing information in their native language helped families feel more confident and engaged in the conversation about studying abroad.

Wittenborg takes part in various education fairs and events every year to stay connected with prospective students around the world. To see the upcoming schedule, please visit Wittenborg’s website.
