Check accepted tests, minimum scores, score validity and any waiver conditions for the specific programme.

General planning

Intake & application plan

Choose your preferred study year and start term, then work backwards through application and document deadlines.
Keep admission, scholarship, deposit and immigration dates separate; a course start month is not an application deadline.

General planning

Allow for accommodation, daily living, insurance, travel, deposits, study materials and application or immigration charges.

General planning

Scholarships & finance

Explore institution, programme, government and external funding that matches your applicant profile.
Check award eligibility, deadlines, coverage and renewal conditions; neither a scholarship nor a loan is guaranteed.

Documents to prepare

Start with transcripts and qualification certificates, then add a CV, statement, references or portfolio where requested.
Check identity documents, translations, certification and financial evidence required for your chosen application route.

The information below describes Turkey. It is not a statement of this institution’s entry requirements, fees or available intakes.

Academic pathways

Undergraduate: Use the institution's accepted examination/diploma list and minimum criteria, with required school records.
METU explicitly limits applications to listed qualifications.
Postgraduate: A relevant bachelor's qualification plus the graduate school's academic, language and assessment requirements; research pathways may require supervisor contact.

Teaching language

Confirm Turkish or English delivery and any preparatory-year requirement.
Accepted evidence and exemption rules are university- and programme-specific.

Intake planning

Follow the university's current international application call and faculty calendar.
METU's autumn admission cycle should not be treated as a guaranteed spring option at every university.

Tuition context

METU publishes a dated, campus- and entry-cohort-specific fee schedule through its tuition page.
A 2025–26 PDF remains indexed; do not label those USD-per-semester figures as 2026–27 without checking the current linked schedule.

What does this Istanbul Technical University overview cover?

This page helps you organise an initial shortlist: study interests, academic preparation, language evidence, budget and application documents. It is general planning guidance, not confirmation that a particular programme, fee or intake is available.

Which subjects can I explore in Turkey?

Destination-wide subjects to research include Engineering, Architecture, Computer Science, Economics, Molecular Biology and Genetics. These are subjects across Turkey, not a confirmed course list for Istanbul Technical University. Compare the exact institution, campus, qualification and teaching language before choosing.

What should I prepare before applying to Istanbul Technical University?

Prepare your academic records and a clear course preference. Depending on the programme, you may also need language evidence, a statement, CV, references, portfolio or interview. Exact requirements depend on the course, study level and applicant background.

How should I plan my budget for Istanbul Technical University?

Request a course-specific tuition quote with its currency, fee year and charging period. Add living costs, insurance, travel, deposits and other compulsory charges. Destination guidance is useful for early planning but is not the institution's fee quotation.
