Admission to Turkish universities with StudyU
A step-by-step guide: how to get into Turkey’s leading universities - from your first consultation to moving into the dormitory.
Studying at an international university is an investment in your future - one that calls for precision, well-judged decisions and an insider’s knowledge of the whole education system. With the StudyU team you can apply to several leading Turkish universities at once, secure the maximum partner discounts and reserve your place on the course without unnecessary bureaucracy.
Why students choose StudyU
- Official status: We work directly with Turkey’s leading universities and have a direct line to their admissions offices, which ensures your documents are reviewed as a priority.
- Lower tuition costs: Thanks to our partnership agreements and academic standing, we help students obtain special reduced rates - discounts range from 30% to 50%.
- A contractual guarantee of results: We put our commitments in a formal contract. If none of the universities we selected for your field sends an invitation, we refund our service fee in full.
- Expert guidance: Our company has been on the market for more than 5 years. The StudyU team is made up of graduates of Turkish universities who know the specifics of local education and every pitfall inside out.
- Reputation and trust: We focus on quality and an individual approach, so we don’t rely on aggressive advertising - most of our clients come through referrals. Our honest reviews can always be found on Google and Yandex Maps.
6 steps to your enrolment
We take care of all the routine and guide you by the hand from the first consultation to moving into the dormitory.
Initial profile review
You leave a request and we contact you via messenger. At this stage we go through your goals, preferred field, academic background and the documents you already have in detail.
Strategy and contract
We put together a personal shortlist of universities for your request and agree the right format of work. Our service fee starts from $450. Depending on the chosen format, support may include career guidance, university selection and an individual strategy, as well as extended options: professional document translation, apostille, residence-permit preparation, accommodation search and on-the-ground settling-in help. We agree the exact format and cost during the consultation.
Application and Offer Letter
We prepare and submit your applications to the admissions offices ourselves through official partner channels. Within a short time you receive a preliminary Offer Letter with the cost calculation and your personal discount.
Paying tuition directly to the university
Once the final choice is made, you pay tuition directly to the university’s official bank details stated in the letter.
Receiving the Official Acceptance Letter
After the payment is listed, the university issues the final Official Acceptance Letter. This document is the main basis for applying for a student visa at the Turkish embassy (if one is required for your country).
Campus registration and arrival
You arrive in Turkey and we help you complete the final legal procedures at the university, apply for a student residence permit and settle in comfortably.
Important: the amount is usually split into 2 semesters (payment in instalments per semester). If you pay for the whole academic year at once, a number of universities offer an additional discount of around 10%. Please note that tuition does not include accommodation, meals, insurance or the language year.

Frequently asked questions
Private universities in Turkey do not offer free tuition or full government grants. However, we make it our job to reduce your costs as much as possible: thanks to our agreements with universities, StudyU students receive exclusive discounts of 30% to 50% off the standard price. This makes quality international education affordable. The minimum tuition benchmark for the programs we work with starts from $4,000 per year.
Every academic case is unique. We spend significant time on deep analysis, program selection and handling complex bureaucratic processes to secure your place at exactly the university that best fits your career goals and budget. Our service fee starts from $450. You pay for years of expert experience, time saved and protection from critical mistakes during admission.
Of course you can try to go through this path yourself. But without official partner status you would have to apply at the standard public rates, without the agency’s special internal discounts. On top of that, there is a lot of conflicting information online, and any inaccuracy in your documents or a missed deadline can cost you a whole academic year.
You don’t need to pay the full year’s amount at once. Turkish universities use a convenient per-semester instalment system (payment is split into two equal parts per year). The first instalment is made to obtain the official invitation and visa, and the second before the start of the winter semester.
We are completely confident in our expertise and the quality of our selection, so we put financial responsibility in the contract. If none of the universities chosen together with you for your field accepts the documents and issues an Acceptance Letter, we refund 100% of our service fee.
