International foundation courses
Full-time courses across our five faculties typically last for three to four years, although some degrees such as medicine and architecture have a longer duration.
Students with the Apolytirion of Lykeion require a grade of 17 or 18 plus two A levels, depending on the course applied for. For entry to many courses we also accept the Apolytirion without A levels, where very high grades have been achieved. Students with the Devlet Lise Diplomasi are required to complete a foundation programme for entry to undergraduate programmes.
Students applying for a course with BBB A level entry requirements require an overall grade of 17 in the Apolytirion, plus grades BB at A level.
Students taking A levels or the IB should refer to the online undergraduate prospectus for entry requirements.
Students taking APs or SATs should refer to our entry requirements for the USA.
We offer a wide range of postgraduate masters degree programmes across our five faculties. Full-time masters courses typically last for one year.

“The greenery around campus is unreal. Walking through the forests and seeing squirrels and bunnies and ducks all around is amazing. It honestly feels and looks like it’s made out of a fairytale.”
