FAQ
- Do I need the YÖS exam? — No. Yeni Yüzyıl admits students on their Azerbaijani school certificate.
- How long does the application take? — Once your documents are complete, an answer usually arrives within a few weeks.
- I don't speak Turkish — can I still study? — To be honest, options are limited: only 10 of 71 programmes are in English. Most degrees, medicine included, are taught in Turkish, so you will need TÖMER B2 or a Turkish preparatory year.
