Cost FAQ
How much is the tuition at Istanbul Kent University for Indonesian students?
English-taught Bachelor programs are around $2,900 per year after the 50% upfront-payment discount (standard $5,800). Turkish-taught programs start from about $2,200 per year. Dentistry and Pharmacy are priced for the whole 5-year program ($35,000 and $18,000 respectively after discount). This is well below the $5,000–$20,000 most Indonesians expect from a Turkish private university.
What are the living costs (biaya hidup) in Istanbul?
Most international students spend about $400–$700 per month covering accommodation, food, transport, phone and personal expenses. Dormitories and shared student apartments are the most budget-friendly options. Istanbul's student transport card and affordable campus meals keep monthly costs low.
What is a realistic total budget for the first year?
Adding tuition (~$2,900 for an English Bachelor) and living costs (~$5,000–$8,000 per year), a realistic first-year budget is roughly $7,000–$11,000. This is far less than studying in Western Europe, the UK or Australia without a scholarship.
Are there hidden fees?
No. The discounted tuition applies automatically with upfront payment, and prices include VAT. There is no application fee with us. We give you an honest, itemized cost breakdown before you commit — tuition, deposit, and expected living costs.
Is studying in Turkey cheaper than other countries?
Yes, significantly. For a quality, internationally recognized (YÖK-accredited) degree in English, Turkey is one of the most affordable destinations — typically a fraction of the cost of the UK, US, Australia or Western Europe, with much lower living costs in a Muslim-majority country where Indonesian students feel at home.
