    • APPLICATION AND REGISTRATION

      1. I have studied high school in Turkey and have dual citizenship. Can I apply as an international student?

      Article 7 of the Turkish Citizenship Law No. 5901. As per the provision in Article 7 of the Turkish Citizenship Law No. 5901 stating that “(1) A child born to a Turkish mother or father within the unity of marriage either in Turkey or abroad is a Turkish citizen”, you are deemed a Turkish citizen, even if you were born in a foreign country and have dual citizenship.  In this case, if you have studied high school in Turkey, your application as an international student will be considered invalid.

      However, you can apply as an international student in the event of renouncing your citizenship and obtaining a Blue Card, which is an official card given to those who are Turkish citizens by birth and renounce citizenship by his/her own will.

       If you are not a Turkish citizen by birth, but acquired it later, you can apply as an international student even if you have studied high school in Turkey, by documenting your situation with a certificate of identity register.

      1. I am a Turkish citizen. I have studied the first two years of high school in a foreign country and the last two years in Turkey. Can I apply as an international student?

      According to the principles of the Higher Education Council (YÖK in Turkish); if you have started your high school education earlier than 01 February 2013, then you must study the last three years of high school education in a foreign country; whereas you must fulfill your education entirely in a foreign country, in case you have started your education later than the date in question.

      1. I am a Turkish citizen. I have graduated from a high school abroad, which is affiliated to the Turkish Ministry of Education. Can I apply as an international student?

      1. I am a Turkish citizen by birth. I have graduated from a foreign high school in Turkey. Can I apply as an international student?

      1. I have studied high school in Turkey. I have dual citizenship. I have lodged an application to renounce my Turkish citizenship. However, the process is not over yet. Is being a Turkish citizen during application a problem?

      1. I am a citizen of Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) and have no GCE A Level grades. Can I apply with SAT or ACT scores?

      Those who have completed high school education in TRNC must first meet the minimum GCE A Level criteria as specified in the Directive, in order to be eligible to apply as an international student. In this case, the application you make with SAT or ACT scores will be considered invalid.

      1. My GCE A Level (or IB) grades will be announced after the application deadline. How can I apply?

Your certificate will be evaluated by the School of Foreign Languages or Language Teaching, Application and Research Center (TÖMER) of Hacettepe University.

      If you do not hold any kind of language proficiency certificate, you need to take the language proficiency exam depending on the medium of instruction in the program you are admitted to, which will be conducted by our university after the registration process.
