Why study in Türkiye?
Türkiye is one of the most popular study destinations for international students thanks to its location, wide choice of programs and reasonable costs compared to Europe. Istanbul alone has dozens of private (foundation) universities recognised by the Turkish Council of Higher Education (YÖK).
Language of instruction
Many programs are taught in English, others in Turkish. Students without a language certificate can join a preparatory language year before starting their major.
Admission requirements
Private universities usually admit international students based on their high-school diploma and grades, without entrance exams for most programs. Requirements differ for Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmacy.
