“Deciding to study in Istanbul was the best choice in my life. Special thanks to the
assistance of Erasmus and the Exchange Office for helping deal with all the tasks. I was
able to spend the most special 6 months of my life with good friends here. I will never
forget the foods I tasted in Istanbul, the experiences I gained, the Bosphorus, and so on
in my future life. Altınbaş, thank you for giving me the best memories!”

While the fee might seem high, our extensive network of over 70 partner universities provides favourable conditions for our students. Unlike other agencies, we don’t just apply on your behalf; we ensure you receive significant discounts and the best possible terms. Applying on your own can be complicated and full of nuances, often making it challenging to secure the necessary conditions, leading to missed opportunities and important details. We handle negotiations with universities, which can lead to substantial tuition discounts. Therefore, for the same amount you might spend on a less favorable self-application, you gain significant advantages through our services, including savings and better admission terms, making your investment more than worthwhile.
Additionally, our specialists have years of experience in the education sector and are graduates of top Turkish universities themselves. This allows them to share real-life stories and practical advice. Unlike other agencies, we offer full guarantees and continuous support throughout your journey. We are physically based in Turkey, providing on-the-ground assistance and the ability to address any issues face-to-face.
We encourage you to compare our services with other agencies. While others might offer free applications with minimal discounts, they often lack the expertise to help you choose the right university or provide comprehensive support. Our unique value lies in our in-depth knowledge of the Turkish education system, our direct university partnerships, and our commitment to supporting you throughout your entire educational journey in Turkey.
Yes, you can still apply and study at a Turkish university even if you don’t speak Turkish or English. 1-2 weeks before your studies you will have a chance to take a qualification exam to figure out your language knowledge, according to which student will be placed to a language school or will proceed directly to the studies in the chosen major. Many universities offer programs entirely in English, and you will need to provide proof of English proficiency through tests like TOEFL or IELTS. If you plan to study in Turkish, a TÖMER certificate may be required, but many universities offer preparatory language courses. Additionally, most universities provide a preparatory year to help you learn Turkish or English before starting your main course.
Scholarships and discounts are available from various sources. Many Turkish universities offer merit-based and need-based scholarships, and details can be found on their scholarship pages. Most universities offer discounts for early applicants. Our team at StudyU will guide you through the application process for scholarships and discounts, helping you secure financial aid through motivation letter optimization, recommendation letters and our special tips proven by time.
