Istanbul Ticaret University — Admission Route and Free Consultation

Istanbul Ticaret University is a private university in Istanbul and one of Homa Study's contracted partner universities. One thing belongs at the very top of this page rather than in a footnote: its program list and tuition figures are not yet published on this site.

That is why you will find no fee and no program count here. We could have written numbers that no reader could check, but our rule is to publish only what the university has confirmed and what you can see in a table on this site. A page with no figures on it is more honest than a page with guessed ones.

What is available today is a route rather than a table. If this university is on your shortlist, we ask it directly for the current catalogue and the stated fees for your intended academic year, and we give you those in a free consultation — and those are the figures your decision is based on.

In July 2026 the university received the institutional accreditation certificate of the Turkish Higher Education Quality Council (YÖKAK), and four of its engineering programs earned MÜDEK accreditation in 2025.

Here is what can be said with confidence: this university is in Istanbul, our partnership with it is contractual and official and it is listed in the partner directory on this site, and the application route through us is free for you. Those three things are what you need to begin an assessment.

The value of a consultation in this particular case is precisely the thing this page has declined to do. Instead of offering a generic number, we ask the university about the fee and requirements for the exact program you want, and we set that against the published figures of our other partner universities so your comparison runs on real data rather than an estimate.

The figure above is the university's own tuition — not our fee. Everything involved in getting you admitted here, from checking your documents to holding your acceptance letter, is done at no cost to you.

Bachelor's admission at Turkish private universities is assessed on your high-school record, and Iran's national entrance exam plays no part in it. English-taught programs require a language certificate or a pass in the university's own language exam; for Turkish-taught programs, a Turkish preparatory year is the usual route.

This university's specific requirements — including which language your target program is taught in and what grade threshold it sets — are things we confirm with the university itself rather than guess at on this page.

A standard file for a Turkish private university holds your high-school transcripts and diploma with official translations, a copy of a valid passport, a passport photo and, for English-taught programs, a language certificate. Postgraduate applications add the previous degree and its transcripts.

If you prepare those documents now, the file can be submitted within a few working days of our getting the requirements and fee for your target program from the university. Preparing and checking the documents is part of the same free service.

Turkey's higher-education system — state universities and foundation-private universities like Istanbul Ticaret University alike — operates under the oversight of the Council of Higher Education (YÖK). YÖK sets curriculum standards, quality assurance and degree-issuing rules for every officially recognized university in the country, state or private; a degree from a foundation university like this one carries the same formal standing within Turkey's system as a state-university degree.

That oversight is separate from the program and fee list for this specific university, which is not yet published on this site — the university's standing with YÖK already exists independently of whether its catalogue is complete on our page.

Turkey has been part of the Bologna Process since 2002, and its higher-education system — foundation universities like Istanbul Ticaret University included — is built on the European ECTS credit system: a bachelor's degree is typically 240 ECTS credits (around 60 per year), and a master's degree runs 90 to 120 credits. That shared credit system is what makes transferring or recognizing credits at other Bologna Process universities in Europe more straightforward.

The exact ECTS credit breakdown for a specific program at this university — including precise equivalencies — is something to check against that program's official catalogue, which we confirm together with tuition and admission requirements in a free consultation.

Istanbul is Turkey's largest city, a layered metropolis spread across two continents, and for many students the ferry crossing between Europe and Asia is part of the daily commute. It holds the country's largest concentration of universities, so student life turns up everywhere, from library cafes to cheap lunch spots in almost every district. Public transit is extensive — metro, tram, Marmaray rail under the Bosphorus, and city ferries all work with a single Istanbulkart — though rush-hour traffic tests everyone's patience. It is also Turkey's most expensive city, with rent taking the biggest share of a student budget, which is why shared flats and dormitories are common. Winters are mild and rainy, summers warm and humid.
