Programmes designed for foreigners
There is a "numerus clauses" for foreign
students in all fields of study. The relevant authority is the
ÖSYM. The Council for Higher Education (www.yok.gov.tr)
is the student selection and placement center under the responsibility
of the YÖK.
The overseas student’s first step is to contact the Registrar’s
Office of the university he/she wants to attend, where he/she
can get all the application procedure information and the specific
admission requirements.
Fore more details, a list of the Turkish universities can be browsed
on the Turkish official website: www.yok.gov.tr.
Some universities have an "International Center" which
provides assistance and guidance (adjustment to their new environment,
orientation programs, tours and activities) to overseas students.
Foreign students must hold a visa to enter the country and then
apply for a residence permit; to attain the permit they must provide
financial guarantees.
