Turkey 2013/14 - values of student fees

National student fee

1st cycle university students enrolled in a morning education do not pay fees. Public universities are financed by the Government and have an additional income from the students' fees (not more than 10 % of their income). Non- profit foundation universities can receive a limited amount of financial support from the Government, but their income is mainly based on fees. Public universities provide morning and evening education and fees vary accordingly.

1st cycle fees in the evening education at public university range between TL 962 and 2 134. The most common value is TL 1 250. Foundation universities provide only morning education with fees from TL 9 340 to 52 900. The most common value is TL 20 000.

In the 2nd cycle, public universities charge from TL 250 to 550; the most common value is TL 350. Foundation universities charge from TL 5 000 to 40 000; the most common value is TL 20 000.

Exceptionally, students who study in non-profit foundation universities may receive discounts from the university. For example, depending on the performance they show in university entrance exam, they may be asked to pay only half or five eights of the fee (this may vary from one university to another).

International students pay higher fees.
