What you need to apply
General country requirements
This entry is general Bachelor’s admission in Türkiye: the university is in the catalogue but its individual programme pages are not verified yet, so the country's general requirements are shown instead.
Check the university’s own page before you plan around it.
Türkiye, bachelor’s
International applicants in Türkiye apply straight to the universities, but first obtain denklik from YÖK — recognition of the school certificate. Many universities require the TR-YÖS exam; SAT, IB and Abitur are also accepted. Turkish-taught programmes test your Turkish and send you to a one-year hazırlık class if it is short; English-taught ones ask for IELTS or TOEFL. Documents are translated into Turkish by a sworn translator.
With an Uzbek attestat (11 years)
Straight into the first year
An Uzbek attestat allows direct entry, but denklik from YÖK comes first and most universities want TR-YÖS. A Turkish-taught programme adds a hazırlık year if your Turkish is short.
