The image and Turkish foreign policy of Turkey in the eyes of African students

The economic and socio-cultural effects of international student mobility have reached a level that should not be ignored. There is a growing global competition between countries to get a larger share of the international student market. The Republic of Turkey is one of the main actors of this market. One of the factors affecting the country preferences of international students is the country image. The aim of this research is to examine the image and foreign policy of Turkey formed by university students who come to Turkey from African countries to study. With the aim of examining this image formed in students, it will be tried to understand the image of Turkey in students by examining the variables of religion, socio-cultural lifestyle, educational conditions, economic conditions and career opportunities that make up the Turkish image in the eyes of students.
