Program Overview

A European-Standard Degree at the Crossroads of Europe and Asia

Türkiye has become one of the fastest-growing study destinations for international students, and for good reason. Turkish universities run hundreds of fully English-taught bachelor's and master's programmes, sit inside the European Higher Education Area, and award ECTS credits recognised across Europe — at a fraction of Western European living costs. LCIS guides you from shortlisting through denklik, visa and arrival.
