Turkey is one of the popular study destinations for international students because it offers many universities, a wide range of academic programs, and both public and foundation universities. Afghan students can apply to Turkish universities as international students if they meet the admission requirements of the university and program.

There are universities offering Bachelor’s, Master’s, and PhD programs in fields such as engineering, medicine, business, computer science, social sciences, education, law, architecture, and many other areas. Some universities accept international students through TR-YÖS, SAT, high school diplomas, university entrance results, or other qualifications, depending on their admission rules.

The list below includes 100 Turkish universities that have international student admission opportunities. Afghan students should always check the official university website before applying because admission requirements, application dates, tuition fees, available programs, and accepted qualifications can change each year.

Important: Being an international student does not mean automatic admission. Afghan applicants must meet the university’s current requirements and receive an official admission decision.

How Afghan Students Can Apply

Afghan students should first select a university and an academic program. Then they should visit the official university website and check the current international student admission announcement.

In general, applicants may need a passport, high school or university diploma, transcripts, photographs, language certificates, an international exam result such as TR-YÖS or SAT where required, and other documents requested by the university. Requirements are different from one university to another. For example, Karadeniz Technical University lists passport/identity documents, exam results and secondary school graduation documents among its application documents.

Some universities accept international students at Bachelor’s level through TR-YÖS or other accepted qualifications, while Master’s and PhD applications are often submitted directly to the relevant institute or graduate school. Mersin University, for example, explains different admission procedures for undergraduate and graduate applicants.

Important Advice for Afghan Applicants
