This study investigates Turkey’s higher education (HE) policy for Syrian refugee students (SRSs) by examining the experiences of the students and documenting political, social and cultural dynamics behind these experiences. The study reviewed reports, notices and circulars in order to capture the key tenets of the Turkeys HE policy for the Syrians refugee students. In order to reveal the experiences of the students, 27 interviews were conducted with a group of students who are studying at a public university, which is located in the eastern part of the country. The results, first, revealed that Turkey’s HE policy follows a reactive track in that the ongoing challenges have caused modification, alteration or additions into the policy. Second, both the interview results and key reports suggest documentation, language barrier, finance and guidance as the key challenges for SRSs, which inform HE policy of Turkey. Third, the students commented on the restorative impact of the higher education for normalizing their lives in a host country and building a future prospect for their own life. However, the conflicts between Syrian and Turkish students suggest that the Syrian refugee crisis goes beyond a refugee crisis and has complex sociological and political connotations, which push the issue of Syrian refugee into more repelling grounds. Further conclusions and implications are discussed.

流离失所者高等教育政策：土耳其高等教育政策对叙利亚移民的影响

本研究通过检查学生的经历并记录这些经历背后的政治、社会和文化动态，调查土耳其针对叙利亚难民学生 (SRS) 的高等教育 (HE) 政策。该研究审查了报告、通知和通告，以了解土耳其针对叙利亚难民学生的高等教育政策的关键原则。为了揭示学生的经历，对在该国东部一所公立大学学习的一组学生进行了 27 次采访。首先，结果表明土耳其的高等教育政策遵循反应性轨道，因为持续的挑战已经导致对政策的修改、变更或补充。其次，面试结果和关键报告都表明文档、语言障碍、资金和指导是 SRS 的主要挑战，为土耳其的高等教育政策提供信息。第三，学生们评论了高等教育对他们在东道国的生活正常化和为自己的生活建立未来前景的恢复性影响。然而，叙利亚和土耳其学生之间的冲突表明，叙利亚难民危机不仅是难民危机，而且具有复杂的社会和政治内涵，这将叙利亚难民问题推向了更令人反感的地方。进一步的结论和影响进行了讨论。叙利亚和土耳其学生之间的冲突表明，叙利亚难民危机不仅是难民危机，而且具有复杂的社会和政治内涵，将叙利亚难民问题推向了更加令人反感的境地。进一步的结论和影响进行了讨论。叙利亚和土耳其学生之间的冲突表明，叙利亚难民危机不仅是难民危机，而且具有复杂的社会和政治内涵，将叙利亚难民问题推向了更加令人反感的境地。进一步的结论和影响进行了讨论。
