MBBS admissions in Turkey

Several Turkish universities run English-medium medicine programmes; admission for foreigners uses YÖS/SAT or the university's own exam.

Duration:
6 years
Medium:
English / Turkish

Admission route

International medicine requirements vary by university. Confirm whether TR-YÖS, SAT or another qualification is accepted and whether the programme is English or Turkish. Turkish may still be needed for patient-facing training.

Study in Türkiye
  1. 1

    Check eligibility

    Check the university's current medicine entry requirements, accepted school qualifications and eligibility for international applicants.

  2. 2

    Confirm the programme

    Verify the degree, teaching language, entrance tests, clinical language requirements and internship arrangements directly with the university.

  3. 3

    Prepare your documents

    Confirm requirements for transcripts, passport, language evidence and document certification. Check tuition and living costs before accepting an offer.

  4. 4

    Apply & verify licensing

    Apply through the official university or national admission portal. Check home-country medical registration requirements and visa rules before enrolment.

Entry rules, fees and deadlines vary by institution and session. A QS rank is not medical accreditation or permission to practise. For practice in Pakistan, confirm the current requirements directly with PMDC; a World Directory of Medical Schools listing alone is not accreditation.
