4) Official Acceptance Letter is issued.
5) Registration documents are prepared and you fly to Turkey.

Question 3

Can I apply online? How long does the acceptance letter take?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the entire application process is handled online. Simply send your documents via Instagram, Telegram, or email — no need to visit in person. After complete document submission, the acceptance letter is usually prepared within 24–48 hours. In some cases (such as medical programs), it may take 3–5 business days. Once you receive the acceptance letter, you proceed with full enrollment (kesin kayıt). A completed university registration is required to apply for a residence permit — a deposit alone is not sufficient.

Question 4

What documents are required for application?

Accepted Answer

To apply to Istanbul Kent University, the following documents are typically required:
• Passport copy
• High school diploma or university degree and transcript
• 1 photo (3.5x4.5 or 4x6)
• Language certificate (if available — TOEFL, IELTS, or TÖMER)
Applications are accepted even without a language certificate — a preparatory year can be taken if needed.

Question 5

Do I need to translate and apostille my diploma?

Accepted Answer

Yes, your high school diploma (or university degree) and transcript must be officially translated into Turkish with notarization. Additionally, an apostille must be affixed to the documents — this ensures their international validity. We provide full assistance with the translation and apostille process, so there's nothing to worry about.

Question 6

What are Istanbul Kent University tuition fees? Are they annual? Is VAT included?

Accepted Answer

Istanbul Kent University tuition fees vary by program and are listed annually. All prices include VAT (10%) — there are no additional charges. For Dentistry and Pharmacy, prices may sometimes be given as a total package (preparatory + main education). The deposit is an advance payment made to the university to complete the admission process and is generally non-refundable. All payments are made directly to the university's bank account. See the programs section on our website for detailed pricing.

Question 7

Who do we make payments to? Is installment payment available?

Accepted Answer

Question 8

Question 9

What are the language requirements? What is TÖMER?

Accepted Answer

For Turkish-taught programs, TÖMER B2 level or the university's own assessment is required. TÖMER is a Turkish language proficiency certificate recognized by Turkish universities. For English-taught programs, TOEFL iBT 79 or IELTS is required. Applications are accepted even without a language certificate — a one-year preparatory program can be taken if needed.

Question 10

Is there a preparatory year? Are there English-taught programs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Kent University offers both Turkish and English language preparatory programs. Preparatory prices are listed separately in the official price list. Additionally, many programs are taught in English — especially in engineering, IT, economics, and international relations. To enroll in an English-taught program, you need to pass IELTS/TOEFL or the university's own exam. If your language level is insufficient, a one-year English preparatory program is available.

Question 11

Can Uzbek students enter Turkey visa-free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Uzbekistan citizens can enter Turkey visa-free and stay legally for up to 90 days — no visa process is required. During this period, you register at the university and apply for a student residence permit. Once your residence permit is approved, you have the right to live legally in Turkey throughout your studies.

Question 12

How do I get a student residence permit in Turkey?

Accepted Answer

Once your residence permit is approved, you have the right to live legally in Turkey throughout your studies.

Question 13

Is health insurance required?

Yes, health insurance is mandatory for all international students. It is also required for the residence permit application. You can obtain coverage through Turkey's state SGK insurance or private insurance companies for approximately $30–$60 per month.

Question 14

Where is the campus? What are the accommodation options and costs?

Accepted Answer

The university does not have its own dormitory, but places are available at partner dormitories for $400–$800/month.
