We Were Honored to Welcome the Educational Counsellor of the Republic of Türkiye at IBU
We were honored to welcome Mr. Ali Rıza Altunel, the Educational Counsellor of the Republic of Türkiye in Skopje, to the International Balkan University (IBU). His visit marked an important occasion for our university community, particularly for our newly enrolled students from Türkiye who are beginning their academic journey in North Macedonia.
During his visit, Mr. Altunel delivered an informative and engaging session focused on the role and responsibilities of the Turkish Embassy and the Office of the Educational Counsellor in supporting Turkish students abroad. He provided detailed information about registration procedures, official documentation, student support services, and the academic guidance offered by the Educational Counsellor’s Office.
Our students had the opportunity to ask questions and discuss various topics related to their studies, residence permits, adaptation to a new environment, and future career opportunities. Mr. Altunel answered each question thoroughly, offering practical advice and emphasizing the importance of academic success, cultural integration, and maintaining strong connections with Türkiye during their studies.
We are grateful for Mr. Altunel’s visit and for his continued support of our students. At the International Balkan University, we deeply value our cooperation with the Turkish Educational Counsellor’s Office and the Embassy of the Republic of Türkiye in Skopje. Together, we remain committed to ensuring that our students from Türkiye receive the necessary guidance, encouragement, and resources to thrive both academically and personally throughout their educational experience at IBU.
