State and Private Universities in Health Education

Turkey, with its geographical location, historical and cultural richness, is a popular educational destination for international students. There are over 8 million university students in Turkey, approximately 400,000 of whom are international students. These foreign students come from over 100 different countries. Especially in the field of health education, Turkey attracts foreign students with its high quality and wide range of programs. Turkish universities, known for their excellence in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, nursing, dietetics, physiotherapy, and other health sciences, train the healthcare professionals of the future. Moreover, successful students can receive various opportunities and scholarships if they achieve high scores in international exams like TR YÖS or SAT.

Turkey offers numerous reasons why it is an attractive destination for health education. The country provides a vast knowledge and experience in both historical and modern medical practices. There are over 200 modern universities in Turkey offering education in Turkish and English. Turkey's success in the health sector offers high-quality education opportunities to many students worldwide. The high standards of education, modern infrastructure, and international accreditations make Turkey a preferred country for health education. Turkey has a tolerant approach toward foreign students; there is no racism, and students are welcomed as guests in Anatolia. Graduates in health fields from Turkey find it easier to secure employment in Turkey, Western countries, and their home countries.

One of the most significant advantages of studying health education in Turkey is the affordable costs. Tuition fees at private universities range between $15,000 and $25,000 per year, while in state universities, these fees range around $1,000 to $8,000. Additionally, the monthly living expenses for a student in Istanbul are approximately $400, making the total annual living cost around $4,000. Living costs in Europe and America are around $1,500 per month, resulting in a yearly expense of about $15,000, making Turkey's low-cost education a significant advantage. The duration of education is generally as follows:

- Faculty of Medicine: 6 years

- Faculty of Dentistry: 5 years

- Faculty of Pharmacy: 5 years

- *Other Health Sciences: Nursing (4 years), Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation (4 years), Nutrition and Dietetics (4 years), Associate Degree Programs (2 years).

State universities generally offer education at lower costs and have an extensive network of hospitals and academic staff in many cities. However, they admit students through international exams like TR YÖS or SAT, and most of them offer education in Turkish. Private universities, on the other hand, are more expensive, usually located in Istanbul and Ankara, and most provide education in English. Most importantly, private universities admit students without the requirement of an entrance exam, solely based on their diploma grades. However, a minimum diploma score of 60% is required to enter private medical programs. Both types of universities offer different opportunities to students with their own advantages. State universities can be an attractive option for those who are successful but economically disadvantaged, while private universities can appeal to those who want to avoid exam stress, have good financial means, and wish to study in English.

International students must meet certain criteria when applying to health programs in Turkey. To enter state universities, it is necessary to score at least 90% in the TR-YÖS exam or achieve high scores in international exams like SAT. In the TR-YÖS exam, a minimum score of 450 out of 500 points is required. Additionally, there is an option for admission to private universities without an exam. There is no mid-term enrollment for health programs such as medicine, dentistry, and pharmacy. Pre-registration can always be done through our agency, but university registrations usually begin in May and end in September. Diplomas and transcripts must be translated into Turkish or English by a sworn translator.

International students benefit greatly when they receive consultancy services from professional agencies during the selection of the right program, country, and university, as well as during the application and acceptance processes. Especially in Turkey, state universities' websites and application guides are mostly in Turkish, with very little information available in foreign languages. The procedures for entering and registering for the TR YÖS exam are quite complicated.
