All courses are taught in English.

The Izmir Institute of Technology is the only institute in Turkey with a particular focus on scientific research.

The campus, situated on a splendid Aegean coast just outside Izmir includes two ancient Roman baths, waterfalls, olive groves and vineyards. Its student organisations range from the design club to American football and Physics Society.

With some three million residents, Izmir is one of the largest cities in Turkey. Its history going back to the Hellenistic age can be seen through the city’s surviving historical architecture. The Ottoman period, as well as Jewish communities, also left their mark on the city. Izmir hosts an annual music festival - International Izmir Festival, the Izmir European Jazz Festival and the International Izmir Short Film Festival. The local food mixes influences from the Aegean and Mediterranean regions.
