While you can apply directly to an educational institution abroad, you can also benefit from the expertise of a consultant who will guide you through the steps of choosing and enrolling in a university or school, thus minimizing the stress you will experience during this process and reaching your goal with more accurate and confident steps.
There are a number of entry requirements that you must meet to become an international student.
The academic requirements you must meet, including a foreign language proficiency certificate, vary depending on the level of education you wish to pursue.
We recommend that you carefully read the information on the websites of universities and schools, as they may have different entry requirements.
Plus Education & Career expert consultants will assess your suitability for different programs and direct you to departments and locations that match your preferences.
The cost of studying abroad varies. This change depends on the quality of the program you will receive, the education you want to receive, the country you want to go to and the living conditions there. In order to find a suitable option for you, Plus Education & Career expert consultants will inform you in detail about the budget during the consultancy process.
When deciding where and in which field you will study, you should first consider your academic interests and career goals. Examine the locations of the campuses, their places in university rankings, which university is competent in which fields, the time you will spend away from home, and the costs of studying abroad and living expenses.
Studying abroad is not just about the department you will study. We recommend that you think carefully about the lifestyle you want and decide accordingly.
Plus Education & Career expert consultants evaluate these criteria in detail while guiding you and offer the most suitable alternatives.
Students who meet the academic requirements but have insufficient language skills can receive preparatory training at the university they will attend or at a private language school before their academic education.
Students who complete their language education and submit the required exam scores to the school can begin their education in the following semester.
This period varies from person to person, and to learn English at a beginner level, it would be beneficial to attend an intensive course for at least 8-10 months.
The duration of language learning depends on many factors, from the intensity of the language course to the suitability of the accommodation option for language practice. Factors such as having learned a language before, age, suitability of the accommodation, etc. are effective.
Also, do not forget that learning a language is a matter of talent. It is possible to shorten the duration of language learning with intensive and one-on-one courses.
There are exams such as TOEFL, IELTS, GMAT, GRE that are required from students who want to receive undergraduate or graduate education abroad. Conditional acceptance may be granted to students who meet all other criteria but have not taken the required exam.
A student who receives conditional acceptance is accepted to the program on the condition that they submit their exam results to the school by the beginning of the specified semester. Conditional acceptance is not granted if more than one condition is not met. It should also be noted that not every university abroad grants conditional acceptance.
It is important that universities are recognized by YÖK and accreditation institutions abroad. You should also make sure that language courses are recognized by accreditation institutions abroad.
For this, you need to apply to YÖK.
If you want to do academic work or work at universities in Turkey, you may experience problems. Also, male students experience the problem of military service deferment.
These are courses that prepare students for international exams such as IELTS, TOEFL, GMAT and GRE. These courses teach test question techniques and are shorter than regular courses.
Students who want to study for a master’s or doctorate can find scholarships more easily than undergraduate students. In addition, students who are successful in sports can also find scholarships. Students who are in the language education process do not have the opportunity to receive scholarships.
Since the conditions vary depending on the institution that grants the scholarship, it is very difficult to know whether you are a suitable candidate. In addition to the severity of the conditions, it is also not possible to provide the scholarship in a short time. Some sponsors who grant scholarships are interested in how much influence you have in the field you want to work in.
Educational institutions generally grant scholarships according to the academic success of students, regardless of financial need. However, scholarships are not granted according to a single criterion.
For example, even if a scholarship is granted considering financial need, it is clear that the more successful candidates will be preferred. In many cases, other factors are also taken into consideration; factors such as sports and artistic skills, participation in social activities are also important.
Therefore, academic success alone is not enough when applying for a scholarship. On the other hand, candidates who apply for sports scholarships must prove that their situation meets the requirements of the academic programs.
When evaluating scholarship applications, candidates’ participation in social activities and whether they are socially useful are also taken into consideration. For example; documenting that you are a member of associations that protect the environment, culture and historical heritage and that you are actively working in social responsibility projects can leave a positive impression.
Yes. Some educational institutions offer scholarships to students who are particularly successful in a particular field. For example, a student with special talent in physics may be supported by the university to continue his education.
On the other hand, educational institutions may offer research scholarships to students with specific projects to continue their studies. There are also educational institutions that provide scholarships to attract successful athletes. If you are a good athlete, you may be eligible for an athletic scholarship.
Yes. If you have a national or international exhibition in the field of art or have won an award from an international festival, this will contribute positively to your scholarship.
Also, being able to play an instrument can put you ahead in the scholarship race. It is also important to be able to play cultural musical instruments such as saz, oud or ney. If you have literary talent (poetry, story, etc.) or are successful in painting, this is also considered a positive feature.
It is very important that you know a foreign language well. You should also write a good personal introduction and purpose statement. It is important that your previous education life was successful. If you have previous achievements and special talents, you should prove them.
The education, living and socialization experiences you will have abroad will greatly affect your career prospects.
It is up to you to develop new skills and perspectives, to enrich your language skills by making them stronger, and to strive for the work experience you will gain from the employers you want to work for.
The skills and qualifications required by employers and professional registration bodies vary from country to country. For example, if you are looking to build a career in a profession with strict entry requirements such as medicine, engineering or teaching, it may be worth researching the relevant professional body in your country to get an idea.
Working while studying is a complementary aspect of your education and life experience. If you are studying at a diploma level or above, you may be allowed to work on an international student visa.
Before taking on any paid work, you need to make sure your visa allows it. The opportunities available to students to work part-time while studying vary from country to country.
Insurance coverage varies depending on the agreement and, naturally, the premium you pay.
You can open an account in foreign banks that have branches in Turkey, get a credit card or debit card, and withdraw money in the country you are visiting.
