Coming here for a course
Most people on these courses travel to Türkiye for them. That is a short-stay visa rather than a student visa, and it is a much lighter process: no denklik, no transcripts, no academic assessment. We provide the invitation letter and the supporting documents, and we can arrange accommodation for the dates you are here.
Cohorts run through the year rather than on fixed annual dates. Tell us roughly when you can travel and we will tell you what is actually scheduled.
