Türkiye has become an increasingly attractive destination for international students not only due to its rich historical and cultural heritage, but also thanks to its high-quality and accessible higher education system. Coordinated by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) under the Presidency of the Republic of Türkiye, the “Study in Türkiye” platform serves as a comprehensive and reliable digital guide for prospective international students interested in studying in Türkiye.
Turkish universities are integrated into the Bologna Process and apply the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS). They also offer a wide range of opportunities such as joint/double degree programs and international exchange schemes including Erasmus+, Mevlana, and Farabi. Education fees and living expenses are comparatively affordable, offering international students an excellent cost-to-benefit ratio. Beyond academic achievement, students benefit from a multicultural academic environment and vibrant campus life.
Strategically located at the crossroads of Asia and Europe, Türkiye offers international students a unique educational experience enriched by its hospitable society, diverse geography, deep-rooted cultural values, and dynamic social life. As of 2025, over 300,000 international students are pursuing their studies in Türkiye. With this number steadily increasing, the country aims to become one of the top destinations for international education worldwide.
The “Study in Türkiye” portal, accessible via www.studyinturkiye.gov.tr, provides detailed, up-to-date information on public and foundation (private, non-profit) universities across the country. The platform allows users to explore undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs, compare institutions, review admission requirements, and directly access application links. It also provides essential information regarding residence permits, visa procedures, accommodation options, scholarships, and health insurance.
More than just an application tool, “Study in Türkiye” is a comprehensive resource that supports students in making well-informed decisions about studying, living, and integrating into life in Türkiye. It caters to a wide range of applicants, from high school graduates to doctoral researchers, as well as Erasmus+ participants and scholarship candidates.
Studying in Türkiye means more than earning a degree—it offers a chance to explore different cultures, develop intercultural communication skills, build international networks, and gain a global perspective. The Study in Türkiye platform is designed to accompany international students throughout each stage of this enriching journey.
