International Student Center

I am Hacı Akay. I work as the Director of the Foreign Relations Branch at Sakarya University of Applied Sciences. I am taking care of all processes from international students' application to registration. Sakarya University of Applied Sciences, which was established in 2018, has 12 vocational schools, 6 faculties and one institute. 1695 international students from 71 nationalities study at our university. Our university accepts high school diploma score as well as accepts international exams in international student applications. International students can apply with international exams such as the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), YÖS (Foreign Student Exam), or with the final average of their high school diploma. The effect of international exams is above the effect of diploma score in the evaluation of international students' applications. After the applications of international students are evaluated and the placement is made, the registration period in the invitation letter given to the student is deliberately kept longer in order for the students to come and register more easily. We have Turkish education courses and Foreign Language education courses for international students enrolled at our university. There are many reasons why international students should prefer Sakarya University of Applied Sciences. One of them is the applied training model. In the applied education model, undergraduate students are able to graduate with more experience after 7 semesters of theoretical education and 1 semester of practical training. In our associate degree departments, after 3 semesters of theoretical training, they can graduate with 1 semester of practical training, ready for business life. Our endeavors on the scholarship of our international students studying at our university are continuing. The campus is located in a very beautiful place in terms of geography. The tuition fees for international students are much lower in Sakarya University of Applied Sciences compared to other state universities in Turkey. All details about applying to Sakarya University of Applied Sciences are available on our website. Our international student page is studyinsubu.subu.edu.tr. I wish success to international students who prefer our university.
