STUDYING
BEING AN INTERNATIONAL
STUDENT IN TURKEY...
Turkey offers a healthy, welcoming and a stimulating environment
for students. Many universities have advisers and offer services
to help international students adjust to life in Turkey. Most
universities have introduced orientation programmes to acquaint
international students to their academic programmes, and some
have offices to serve specifically to International Students.
Some Turkish universities have a variety of medium of instruction
in some European languages, esp. English. (See table in p. 16-19)
and in some cases, the proportion of foreign students to total
student population is around 5%. Total higher education student
population is around 2.5 millions (43% Female, 57% Male). The
number of foreign students at Turkish universities is nearly 17
thousands. Total number of academics is around 90 thousands.
After 2003 by the implementation of the European Union
Education and Youth Programmes, such as Comenius, Erasmus,
Leonardo da Vinci and Youth, in Turkey through Turkish National
Agency (The Centre for EU Education and Youth Programmes)
education and training institutions had a good chance to launch
internationalisation in general and at home. For instance, almost
all higher education institutions are in Erasmus programme and
hosting thousands of European students.
European Union Education and Youth Programmes aim a multidimensional increase in the educational level of the individuals
7
8
and the society, in recognition, cultural change and mutual
corporate and personal collaboration between the citizens of
member countries and in citizenship awareness and social
enterprise of European citizens in the countries which are
members or candidates of European Union.
One of the most important aims of the programmes is to improve
the understanding and corporation environment between the
communities of European Countries.
Through many activities in the context of the programme, they
find the opportunity of working together with the people coming
from different cultures and modes of life, searching solutions
for the problems together and most importantly, sharing their
original experiences.
As of the first 3 years in which the programmes have been
started to be executed, over 3000 projects have been supported.
Total number of beneficiaries was nearly 40.000 by 2007. The
programmes can be considered as a stimulus for increasing
internationalisation at the area of general and vocational
education.
Euroguidance Unit was set up in 2005 at the Turkish LLP National
Agency. You can also Ploteus Portal to get some information about

STUDYING
One French Erasmus student, Celiné who studied in Turkey in the
academic year of 2005/06 has this to report about her experience
of studying in Turkey:
*“Erasmus… the well-known exchange program which allows
students from Europe to discover different countries, cultures,
civilisations and people all around Europe. I have taken this
opportunity! And I am now in Turkey, spending one of my 5 years
education school here.
Different reasons made me decided to spend one year abroad: one
of them is that I wanted to change! Air, environment, lessons… so
why would not change the country? Let’s do it!
Also I had heard really good reports about other students’
experiences. As it opened their mind, they learnt a lot about
themselves and others, country, culture… So let’s try it too.
When I left France to come to Turkey, I really did not know
what I would discover here. I had no idea about the country, the
population, the university and so on.
Well, I can say that alla my wishes mere fulfilled! Everything
was so new, different… just amazing! It is a real change to live
with Turkish poeople, and not just be there as a tourist. Indeed
Turkish culture is so rich. I am speaking about food, history,
geographical and political issues, religion, disparities in life
styles (it is very interesting to compare some families who are
living with old Ottoman culture and new students generetion who
are more modern but also very different than in Europe). I love
travelling in Turkey. Everywhere, I learn.
By this way, I visited the beautiful İstanbul, cooked manti with
some women in a village, learnt common Turkey and French
history in Canakkale, and discovered the existence and meaning
of the Turning Men (Whirling Dervishes) in Konya (Mevlana)… and
many other trips are stil waiting for me.
Of course, one of the main important aspects of an Erasmus
Exchange is to meet with new people. This point cannot just be
described. Everyone will create his own experience, live it. But I
can say that for me, Turkish people are responsible for a big part
of the well going of my adventure.
Right now, this adventure is going really well and I will keep the
souvernirs forever, for sure!”
10
* From the excerpt of one French Erasmus Student.
When I left France to come to
Turkey, I really did not know
what I would discover here. I
had no idea about the country,
the population, the university
and so on.

Higher education is defined as all post-secondary programs
with a duration of at least two years. Higher education
institutions consist of universities, faculties, graduate
schools, colleges, conservatories and vocational higher
educational schools that give two year degree, bachelor’s
degree, masters degree or Ph.D.

I) ABOUT THE TURKISH EDUCATION SYSTEM
After the establishment of the Republic of Turkey, all educational
institutions at different levels have been connected to the Ministry
of National Education. (1924). All the education formation,
syllabus and tuition programmes are executed by the Ministry
of National Education. The compulsory education in Turkey is 8
years ( Between the ages 6-14). The total student population up
to higher education level is around 15 millions.
We can explore the education system in Turkey under 6 titles:
Preschool Education: It encloses the education of the
children in the group in the age range of 3-5 who are not in the
period of compulsory basic education. In this context, there are
Nursery Schools either private or under the Ministry of National
Education.
Basic Education: It comprises the education of children in the
6-14 year age group. Eight years of basic education is mandatory
for all Turkish citizens who have reached the age of six. This
level of education is free in public schools. There are also private
schools under the state control.
Secondary Education: It has minimum quadrennial based on
basic education and encloses general, vocational and technical
educational institutions.
The aims of secondary education are to provide students with a
knowledge of general culture, to acquaint them with problems
of individual and societal nature and to motivate them to find
solutions; to equip them with strength and knowledge to
participate in the economic, social and cultural development of
the country and to prepare them, in line with their interests and
talents, for institutions of higher education.
13
STUDYING
Special Education: The purpose here is to integrate the
individuals with special needs into the community and help them
to acquire occupational skills. Schools that give special education
are configured according to the classification of Turkish national
education system. Yet, unlike the other schools, there are
preparation classes before basic education. The students with
special needs who are eligible for basic education are exempted
from these classes.
Private Education: These institutions are established in
accordance with the legislation numbered 625 and enclose
any kind and level of private schools, private courses, private
vocational courses, special motor vehicle drivers’ courses
and private tutoring centers. These institutions maintain their
facilities under the Ministry of National Education supervision
and inspection.
Higher Education: It encloses all the educational institutions
giving minimum two year of higher education based on secondary
education and training the professionals demanded by scientific
research fields and labor market.

TAXES
VI)VI)
TAXES
Everyone according to his/her financial capacity is required to
pay taxes to meet public expenditures. Taxes and other financial
obligations are regulated by law of the constitution. The State which
fulfills the public services needs some income in order to effect
some of its duties such as health, defense, and customs. Taxes head
this income.
47
48
Taxes are imposed out of income, expenditure and assets and divided
into types.
Taxes imposed out of income can be exemplified with Income Tax
and Corporation Tax, Taxes imposed out of expenditure can be
exemplified with VAT (value added tax) and Excise Tax and Taxes
imposed out of assets can be exemplified with Motor-vehicle Tax,
Inheritance Tax and Estate Duty. We can describe taxes related to
the individual’s income as direct and indirect taxes.
Taxes imposed out of income and assets are direct and Taxes
imposed out of expenditure are indirect taxes. By admission of VAT,
there have been arrangements made in indirect taxation system in
Turkey and this arrangement has been simplified by Excise Tax. The
purpose of consistency to EU Legislations played an effective role in
inclusion of Excise Tax into the system.

LIVING
LIVING IN TURKEY
Turkey has a strategical significance at the point where East and
West meets, while the life is being blended with different cultural
wealth coming from the past, it carries the traces of the nearly ten
millenniums time with its geographical and climate diversity as
being a part of both Asia and Europe. In this context, Turkey has
many historical and cultural places to see. If you are interested in
art, you can go to enjoy theatres, movies, concerts, operas, ballet
and modern dance shows, exhibitions of sculpture, drawings and
photographs and frequent festivals.
Turkey is a safe country in general, also cost of living in Turkey is
reasonable. Naturally enough, the main tourism resorts and big
cities have prices at par with many international hotspots – but away
from the madding crowds the day to day cost of living is affordable.
The average monthly wage in Turkey is still so low when compared
to the average in Europe. Any fruit or vegetable in season is likely to
be cheap across Turkey – even in Istanbul or in the main resorts –
because Turkey is such a large agricultural producer and the variety
and the quality of fresh produce in the many markets across the
country is generally exceptional as well.
HISTORY
HISTORY
Turkey has been called the “cradle of civilisations”. With her four
seasons, its flora comprising of thousands of species, its fertile
lands, Turkey has been home to some of the earliest civilisations of
the world. These include the Hatis, Hittites, Phrygians, Urartians,
Lydians, Ionians, Persians, Macedonians, Romans, Byzantines,
51
52
53
LIVING
Seljuks and Ottomans. Turks started
to settle in Anatolia during the
period of the Great Seljuk Empire
in the early 11th century. Traces of
these civilisations can still be seen
in many remarkable ancient sites
located in all regions of the country.
Indeed, Turkey can be even regarded
as an open museum. Two of Seven
Wonders of the World are in Turkey:
The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus
and Mausoleum at Halikarnassus.
Many of the country’s famous
historical sites can be found in the
web pages of the Turkish Ministry of
Culture and Tourism. (http://www.
kultur.gov.tr)
The Ottoman Empire had played a major role in European history
and close political, commercial ties with almost all european
countries since 14th century. Republic of Turkey is founded in 1923
after the decline of the Ottoman Empire following World War 1. After
a series of reforms, leaded by Atatürk, initiated with the foundation
of Republic, the roots for Modern Turkey were established.
Turkey, is a country that has significant commercial affairs and
liberal economy with western countries. Turkey is a member of
many international organizations such as NATO, World Trade
Organisation, Organisation of Islamic Conference, Black Sea
Economic Cooperation Organisation, and the Economic Cooperation
Organisation. It is also a candidate for full EU membership.
CLIMATE
CLIMATE
Although Turkey is situated in a geographical location where climatic
conditions are quite temperate, the diverse nature of the landscape,
and the existence in particular of the mountains that run parallel
to the coasts, result in significant differences in climatic conditions
from one region to the other. While the coastal regions enjoy milder
54
climates, the inland Anatolia plateau experiences hot summers and
cold winters with limited rainfall since the North Anatolian Mountains
and Toros Mountain Range obstacle the temperate climate effects to
pass through the inland.
Mediterranian Climate: This type of climate which is effective in
Mediterranian and Aegean Coasts moves along the southern Coast
of Marmara Sea and the features of this type are seen in areas up to
800 m height from the coast. Warm, humid summers are followed
by cool, rainy winters with lots of grey sky but not much snow.
Black Sea Climate: The Northern slopes of the Black Sea ranges
and the narrow strip of land are misted over with rain year-round
and are known for the resulting luxuriant green vegetation. Heat of
summer is not as effective as in Mediterranian Climate. The rate of
precipitation is high.
Terrestrial Climate: This type of climate is seen in the sections
where can not benefit from the sea effect due to the obstructions
the ground conditions and where is inland. Central, Eastern and
Southeast Anatolia are effected by the terrestrial climate as well
as the inner parts of Thrace.The
summers of the Central Anatolian
plateau are hot and dry and the
winters cold but fairly dry. Further
east, the altitude increases and
harsh winters with heavy snow
between October and May are
followed by blazing hot summers.
In the Southeast a Middle Eastern
influence exerts itself with cool dry
winters and torrid summers.
Çukurova, which is an agricultural
area since 8.000 years, Aegean
Region, Bafra and Çarşamba plains
are known among the richest lands.
