Scholarships are widely offered, making high-quality education open to all.

There are also scholarships available that cover not only tuition but also living expenses, insurance, and travel expenses. To cover living and lodging costs in Istanbul, an international student should spend between 550 and 650 USD per month.
Embracing Diversity
Turkey’s culture is known for being welcoming and inclusive. As an international student, you will be welcomed into a warm community that values variety and promotes international cooperation.
Turks are famed for their friendliness and hospitality. Very often you will be drinking famous Turkish tea and your neighbours will be inviting you over for breakfast. The majority of Turks like meeting foreign guests and improving their English.
Turkish Diplomas
Turkey’s active participation in the European Bologna Process through its ministry of education called YOK (Council of Higher Education), represents an important synchronisation of its educational standards with those of other European countries. This participation ensures that Turkish credentials are recognised and accepted internationally, improving opportunities for students and professionals seeking to pursue their education further abroad in US and Europe.
Turkish diplomas are marked as “blue diplomas,” indicating accreditation by the European Higher Education Council, as a result of this cooperation. Furthermore, these credentials are accompanied by a diploma supplement, improving their recognition and acceptance throughout Europe and around the world. This accreditation makes it easier for students with Turkish diplomas to pursue their educational and professional goals across international borders.
