How to Apply

From application to enrolment — here is the full journey, step by step.

Your application journey

  • 1. Apply online

    Create your account on the application portal and submit your application with the required document uploads for your study level.
  • 2. Evaluation

    The International Office reviews your documents and your exam result or high-school GPA against the admission requirements.
  • 3. YÖKSİS acceptance letter

    Admitted students receive an official YÖKSİS acceptance letter (with an ID number). Mid-term applicants may receive a pre-acceptance letter, subject to YÖK’s 1/3-of-prior-quota limit.
  • 4. Student visa

    Take your acceptance letter to a Turkish Embassy or Consulate and obtain your Student Visa (Öğrenim Vizesi) before travelling — except visa-exempt applicants.
  • 5. Registration & residence permit

    Complete registration with your original documents, Equivalency Certificate (Denklik) and payment receipt. After arrival, apply for your residence permit (ikamet).
