Study in Turkey
Engineering and technical programmes in English, campuses in Istanbul and Ankara, about four hours' flight from Moscow.
Turkish universities admit international students on the basis of their school certificate and YÖS or SAT results; many programmes are taught entirely in English. A bachelor's degree takes 4 years, a master's 1.5–2 years.
Turkish-taught programmes require a TÖMER C1 certificate, which you can earn in a one-year preparatory course.

Russian citizens enter Turkey without a visa for up to 60 days. After enrolment you have a month to apply for a student residence permit (öğrenci ikamet izni) at the migration office, with a letter from the university, insurance and a registered address.

Students choose between state dormitories (KYK), private dormitories and rented flats. Many universities offer a preparatory Turkish year, and student clubs help you settle in during the first semester.
