HOW TO APPLY

It is worthy to note that In 2010, Higher Education Institute in Turkey instituted new guidelines for Foreign Student Examination called YOS and foreign students studying at universities in Turkey.

Therefore, interested international students should apply separately to each university. Before you apply to any program, you are strongly advised to contact the Admissions Office to determine which documents or exams are required by the selected program.
Most universities will provide students with the option of an online application and registration system. To ensure, please visit your university’s website.
