Study in Turkey: admission to state and private universities, with ALO EDUCATION

Two ways into a Turkish university.

Which one fits depends on your grades, your budget and the language you want to study in.

• State universities — Competitive, low fees, mostly taught in Turkish.
• Private universities — Admission by grades, higher fees, many programmes in English.

We deal with the universities directly. Registering through us is often cheaper than registering on your own, with a discount at many universities.

Six steps from the first message to your student card.

• Consultation — We learn your grades, budget and plans, and tell you honestly what is possible.
• Collecting documents — Passport, diploma and transcripts, checked and, where needed, translated and approved.
• Application and conditional admission — We apply to the universities that fit you.
• Acceptance letter and first payment — Once you are accepted, you receive your letter and pay the first instalment.
• Arrival and registration — You arrive in Istanbul and register in person.
• Student residence — We take you through the residence card process.

Five things to know before you apply.

• Decide: state or private — State universities are competitive and cheaper; private ones admit by your grades and cost more. The right one depends on you.
• Fees change every year — Tuition is set per university and programme and updated yearly. We give you the current figure before you commit.
• Documents take time — Passport, diploma and transcripts must be translated and approved. Starting early avoids last-minute stress.
• Plan your first week — Where you sleep, how you get to campus and when you register in person: settle it before you land.
• Count the monthly cost — Tuition is only part of it. Rent, food and transport in Istanbul add up, so plan the whole month, not only the fee.
