Turkey is our main focus, but not our only destination. Last reviewed: 2026-07-04 # Admission to Turkish and international universities with StudyU A step-by-step guide: how to enter leading universities in Turkey and build an application route for other countries - from the first consultation to enrolment and relocation. - [Free consultation](https://www.studyu.org/en/apply) Studying at an international university is an investment in your future - one that calls for precision, good judgement and insider knowledge of education systems. Turkey is our main focus: we studied here ourselves and know the universities, prices and admission process from the inside. But StudyU is not limited to Turkey: our consultants and student cases cover different countries, so we help families build admission routes worldwide. ## Why students choose StudyU - Official status and first-hand expertise: in Turkey we work directly with leading universities and their admissions offices. For other countries, we rely on verified routes, consultants on the ground and real student cases. - 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. ## Which documents are required? ### To apply (to assess your chances) | For bachelor’s and associate programs | For master’s programs | | --- | --- | | School leaving certificate (if already received) | Bachelor’s diploma (if already received) | | Report card / transcript for the last 3 years | Official transcript of records from the university | | International passport (or national ID) | International passport | | — | CV and a motivation letter (desirable) | ### For final registration at the university - Official Acceptance Letter. - Proof of tuition payment (official bank receipt). - Originals of the certificate/diploma and transcripts (with a notarised translation into Turkish or English required). - A copy of your passport and biometric photos. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can I get a grant or study completely for free? 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. ### Why are your services paid? 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. ### Can I apply on my own? 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. ### How is the tuition payment split? 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. ### What happens if I am refused admission? 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. ## Get in touch Want to know your real chances of admission?
