Universities in Türkiye fall into two types — state and private foundation universities — and each type has a different application route. This is a reference list of officially sourced details to start from before you build your final list.
Direct answers
Two: state universities and private foundation universities. The type determines the application route and how a file is evaluated, so we confirm each university's type before building a student's list.
There are English-taught programs and Turkish-taught programs, and the language differs between programs within the same university. The language of instruction is read from the program's official page, and a recognised language certificate may be required.
Start from the field rather than the university name: define the field, review the universities in this directory that teach it, then open each university's international admissions page to verify conditions and dates.
