05

Academic requirements

There is no single national cutoff. The accepted school qualification, examinations, minimum scores and faculty rules must be checked.

06

Preparation timeline

For most pathways, starting 9–18 months in advance is sensible. Scholarships, medicine, creative programmes and complex recognition require more time.

10

Intakes

Autumn is the main entry; direct deadlines differ. Türkiye Scholarships normally has a separate annual window.

11

Tuition fees

Fees change by institution type, language and programme and must be checked in the current official tariff.

12

Istanbul is generally more expensive than Ankara and many regional cities. Budget for housing, deposit, food, transport, insurance and residence formalities.

13

  • academic profile discounts
14

Scholarships and discounts

Coverage, eligibility and deadlines are checked against the current call. Admission and funding decisions may be separate processes.

  • Türkiye Scholarships
  • university scholarships
  • academic profile discounts
15

Visa requirements

Current entry and student residence-permit rules are checked after admission.

16

Housing

University housing and its deadline are checked first. Private rental is considered only after the contract, registration, deposit and transport links are reviewed.

17

Work during studies

Employment rights depend on study level, permission and immigration rules; income cannot be assumed without verification.

18

After graduation

Post-study options depend on the level, profession and immigration status: further study, an eligible post-study route, or returning with an international qualification.

19

Advantages

  • wide programme and city choice
  • a separate government scholarship route
20

Risks

  • different university examinations and criteria
  • rapidly changing tariffs and dates
22

Team experience

RBEC draws on experience in selection, documents, applications and student support. Experience with an institution does not automatically mean an official partnership.

23

What RBEC does

  • review the profile and previous education
  • select programmes and backup options
  • build a deadline and document calendar
  • prepare admission, scholarship and visa tracks
  • recheck dynamic requirements before every submission
24

Frequently asked questions

Can you state an exact minimum grade in advance?

Most countries do not have one national threshold for every programme. A realistic benchmark is built from the selected universities.

When is it safe to pay a deposit?

Only after the offer, official invoice, refund rules and impact on the visa stage have been checked.

Can part-time work fund the degree?

Employment should not be the main visa funding plan. Eligibility and hours depend on status, programme and immigration rules.
