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.

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.
