• Evaluation results are sent to the e-mail address declared by the candidate on the application form; an e-signed Letter of Acceptance is sent to candidates who require a student visa.

• One year of language preparatory education is provided for students who cannot meet the official exemption requirements for the language of instruction.

• A 100% scholarship quota is offered for students who have a SAT or YÖS score or who succeed in the scholarship exam we will hold.

• Candidates applying to the Islamic Sciences programme are asked for a Qur'an hafiz certificate instead of SAT/YÖS.

• The scholarship exam will be announced on our social media accounts.

• Scholarships and discounts granted by the University cover only the tuition fee. In the event of a transfer to another undergraduate programme within the University, the scholarship/discount rate is reduced by one level; if a disciplinary penalty is received, the scholarship/discount may be terminated or its rate reduced.

We have full scholarship quotas for international candidates educated abroad. Candidates who meet the scholarship requirements will be invited to an online interview. Evaluation requirements (in addition to the application requirements):

• Having a SAT/YÖS exam result (a hafiz certificate for Islamic Sciences candidates).
• Having a high school grade point average of at least 80%.

An online exam is planned in different cities abroad for international candidates who do not have a SAT/YÖS exam result. The exam is divided into two categories, Numerical and Verbal, according to the preferred faculty. Exam details will be announced separately.
