One of the most important facts of our era is the globalization process that turns the whole world virtually into a little village by diminishing the importance of both time and space, and geographical and cultural borders. The process of globalization that transforms social, economic and technological developments in a speed incomparable to no other phase of the history and that redesigns the modern world with its consequences, manifests itself mostly in educational processes, information technologies and especially in the universities that are knowledge production centers. As knowledge became a value in itself, as the need for qualified workforce equipped with professional skills and the added-value of information technologies started to become important in national budgets, both the universities and the higher education are transformed into knowledge production centers rather than knowledge disseminating places, educational activities are transformed into global markets, and increasing numbers of international students started to benefit from this. This process also resulted in an ever-increasing demand for higher education and adoption of different country-based projects to attract international students. As a result of the increasing appreciation of the importance of higher education and international student mobility in the process of the global information society, different strategies and programs are being implemented in Turkey as in many other countries. Therefore, Turkey has signed agreements with many countries and welcomed international students to its universities. This study primarily aims to determine the problems faced by international students in education and to understand their ways of coping with those problems in the case of Van Yüzüncü Yıl University in Turkey.
