CoHE Makes Changes in Decision Regarding Student Admission from Abroad
December 22, 2021
The decision of the CoHE General Assembly regarding the admission of
students from abroad, dated 23 June 2021, has been amended.
The new changes are as follows:
1.
The previous decision to hold the Central International Student Admission
Exam (MYÖS) was cancelled. Instead, it was decided to hold the "Turkish International Student Admission Exam” (TR-YÖS).
The first
TR-YÖS Exam, which will be carried out by ÖSYM, will be held in January 2023. The use of TR-YÖS results in the
admission of students from abroad will be recommended to higher education
institutions by the Council of Higher Education.
The exam will be made in Turkish, German, Arabic, French, English, and Russian
languages.
2.
Those who have renounced their Turkish citizenship/Blue Card holders and
TRNC nationals, who will enroll in secondary education institutions in
Turkey starting from the 2022-2023 academic year, and foreign nationals
(except those in embassy schools and international private education
institutions in the MOBIS system) will only be able to enter higher
education institutions by taking the Higher Education Institutions Exam
(YKS).
