The requirements and fees are set by those authorities and change; we check them at source at the time of applying.

Things to consider

  • Per-programme language of instruction is not recorded for Istanbul Aydın University; if you need a fully English-taught programme, that is the first thing to confirm.
  • Fees are not recorded in the directory, so a cost comparison needs the university's fee page or a question to us.
  • Istanbul is among the more expensive cities in Türkiye for housing and living costs — worth budgeting alongside tuition, not after it.
  • Visa and residence requirements in Türkiye are set by the authorities and change; do not plan around outdated information.
