Nestled on both sides of the famous Bosphorus river dividing Europe and Asia, Turkey is a multicultural seat among countries, just like its geographical position. In addition to its rich history and traditions, the country has some of the most accessible higher education opportunities in the world.  The quality, cultural balance, and global acceptance of degrees have made Turkey a leading study-abroad choice for many international students from different parts of the world. Let’s find out the process of University admission and related costs for an international student in Turkey.  Why Should You Study in Turkey? The question should be, why not? Europe has long been a study-abroad choice for many students. Needless to say, Turkey is the perfect gateway to that dream. While in recent years, most European countries have increased their cost of education, Tukey’s highly subsidized higher education has not been affected.  Read More:Study in Czech Republic: Application process, cost, scholarships In fact, out of the 200 registered universities in Turkey, most are run by the state, while other receives different funds and grants. This allowed Turkey to build up a student portfolio of over 8 million in 2021, the highest anywhere in the world. Not to mention, foreign students make up a large chunk of that sum. Of the many universities, 27 are ranked among the top 1000 institutes in the world. This means the quality of education in Turkey is also uncompromised. A foreign student can enjoy scenic beauty, multicultural life, and a deep appreciation for the rich cultural heritage of the Turkish lands. It really is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.  How to Get Admission in Turkey at Bachelor, MS or PhD For ease of understanding, we will break down this part into several sub-points. We will go through right from searching for the perfect stream and course in Turkey to cost, accommodation, and work opportunities as international students. Read More: Is Norway Ending Free University Education for Non-EU Students? Let's get going  Finding the Right Course  The Turkish education ministry has a dedicated website searching for the desired course for incoming international students. The website allows the students to search courses based on streams, MoI, university, and level of education. It’s an all-in-one solution to get a detailed idea about the application requirement and cost.  Application Timeline  Turkey might not be a part of the European-Bologna Process, but it follows much of the accords laid out by the council. As a result, Turkey has a two-semester system – Spring and Fall. The spring session starts around February, and the fall session starts at either the end of September or early October. Given Turkey universities’ tedious vetting and selection process, starting the application process at least a year early before the intended semester is important. Note that September or spring admission is the only window for prospective Ph.D. students.  Read More: Study in Japan: Scholarships, Tuitions, Application Process for Bangladeshi Students Application Process  The application process first starts with choosing the degree and stream. For a bachelor, the application process mainly follows a central application system. Turkey doesn't have a centralized application system. So students will have to apply to each university individually.  The process is slightly different for masters. Students can either apply centrally or through a potential supervisor. In the case of supervised admission, students will have to contact potential professors with their research plans. If the professor approves, then they are required to apply centrally. For Ph.D. stream students, the application process is completely supervisor based.

The country’s highly subsidized higher education system allows for some of the lowest tuition fees in Europe. However, almost all of the subsidies are exclusively available for public universities.  Another great thing about higher study in Turkey is that there isn’t any cost difference between national and international students.  Typically a student pursuing bachelors in Turkey can expect to pay anywhere between 300 to 4000 euros or 31,679 BDT to 422,395 BDT depending on course streams (1 EUR = 105 BDT). The higher cost is usually associated with engineering and medicine streams.  Read More: Best Countries for Bachelor's Degree in 2023 In contrast, the cost at private universities can get as high as 20,000 euros or 211,1976 BDT per year.
