International admissions

International undergraduate admission is handled by the Directorate of International Students and governed by the Senate directive on admission of students from abroad or of foreign nationality, adopted on 10 January 2024 (Senate decision no. 01) and published as a PDF from the eligibility-criteria link. Candidates apply through the university's online pre-registration form, may select up to three programmes, and are ranked on their İGÜYÖS result, a TR-YÖS or other institution's YÖS result, or the national exams, international exams and secondary school grade averages set out in Annex 1 of the directive. A conditional acceptance letter is uploaded to the applicant tracking system within 2-5 working days; the applicant then pays the deposit stated in that letter and uploads the receipt, after which the acceptance and visa letters are issued within 5-10 business days. Quotas are set by Senate decision, approved by the Board of Trustees and confirmed by the Council of Higher Education, and meeting the application conditions alone is not sufficient for placement.

  • Copy of high school diploma, or an official letter from the school administration for final-year students
  • Official high school transcript
  • Motivation letter of at most one page (stated as not compulsory)
  • A qualifying result: İGÜYÖS basic learning skills test minimum 50 out of 100 (minimum 60 out of 100 for the Faculty of Dentistry), or another higher education institution's YÖS at minimum 50 out of 100, or TR-YÖS, or one of the national exams, international exams or secondary school grade averages listed in Annex 1 (EK-1) of the 10.01.2024 Senate directive
  • Application via the university's online pre-registration form, selecting at most three programme preferences
  • Deposit payment in the amount stated in the conditional acceptance letter, with the receipt uploaded to the applicant tracking system
  • Study visa obtained from a Turkish consulate or embassy before travel
  • Final registration in person at Student Affairs in the Rectorate Building, followed by health insurance and residence permit application at the International Student Office
  • Language proficiency exam after final registration
