This influence highly impacted the first-year students but still existed in some students by the second and third year. However, the important thing is prior knowledge in English, highly impacts to pursue a merit pass and benefitable scholarships. But it should be noted, studying an English medium degree in computer science is fascinating to pursue international achievements and English medium instructions are highly impactful to pass the first degree of the university students.
