        Depends on the department but it’s the oldest and one of the top universities in Turkey. The only two Nobel winners from Turkey are alumni.

          That will be communication/media department. Plus do you have any idea how well could one learn Turkish from scratch in a year. I mean the degree is entirely in Turkish so how eaay is it to grasp from an academic pov?

            Well, I’m from STEM field so I can’t really comment on the department. As for Turkish, it also depends on your first language, other languages you learnt and whether you’re comfortable practising with people. Turkish is related to Central Asian languages so its grammar is closer to Korean, for example, than it is to Indo-European languages. But it has a lot of Arabic/Persian/French loan words. Verb is conjugated for each person and at the end of the sentence. It’s also an ‘agglutinative’ language; prepositions etc. are added as suffixes. It’s very logical actually, sort of like lego blocks thus children can grasp it very quickly but it can be hard for adults. If the degree is in Turkish, you would need to learn a bit beforehand. I think there are English degrees in some universities, you might need to check them.
