No, it is definitely not required. Applications to accredited private universities in Turkey do not require UCAT or any similar centralized selection exam.

The GCSE (Year 11) certificate alone is not sufficient. To obtain legal high school diploma equivalency from the Turkish Ministry of National Education (MEB), it is required to have completed at least 12 years of uninterrupted secondary education before higher education. Therefore, candidates must have A-Level / IB degrees or a Foundation program diploma equivalent to completing Year 12 as a legal requirement.

From the early years of education, practical infrastructure is established in cadaver and simulation laboratories.

In the final year, you will work as an Intern Doctor.

In the UK, students generally remain in "observer" (shadowing) status without touching patients during clinical internships; however, thanks to the high patient volume in Turkey, students participate directly in active case management, examinations, and clinical processes from the first day of their internship. One year of active clinical internship in Turkey is equivalent to three years of observational internship in the UK in terms of case variety.

The rich surgical operation portfolio (logbook) you will create by participating in surgeries during the specialization training in Turkey is the most concrete evidence that will put you ahead of your global competitors in applications for specialist registration in the UK (Portfolio Pathway / formerly CESR). Thus, your chances of returning to the UK as a Specialist Doctor will greatly increase.

The March 5, 2026 Act has placed all medical graduates from outside the UK (including Turkey, Eastern Europe) in a "Non-Prioritised" status for assistantship placements. However, Turkish graduates can largely bypass this restriction by returning to the UK as specialist doctors after TUS. Additionally, thanks to the Internship advantage, they can join the system earlier directly from the FY2/SHO level without getting stuck in lower-tier lotteries.
