Voices from campus

Our students and alumni tell their story

I started part-time work at a software company in my third year and received an offer before graduating. Our lecturers were really beside us in our projects.
DDeniz KaracaoğluComputer Engineering, 4th year
Trying venous access for the first time in the simulation centre before a real patient gave me great confidence. We started clinical rotations ready.
SSelin AksoyFaculty of Medicine, 3rd year
I studied a semester in Germany with Erasmus+, did an internship there and now work in the same city. The International Office made the whole process easier.

Is Kıyıkent University a foundation university, and are its diplomas equivalent?

Yes, it is a foundation university. Our diplomas have the same legal validity as state university diplomas; the university is supervised by YÖK.

How is the scholarship rate determined?

Can a scholarship be lost?

To keep a scholarship you must stay above the GPA lower limit; for full-scholarship students it is 2.50. A disciplinary penalty can also lead to the scholarship being cancelled.

Is the preparatory class compulsory?

Can I make a transfer?

Yes. Transfer applications are announced by Student Affairs at the start of each semester; conditions follow the Transfer Directive and YÖK legislation.

When can I apply for a dormitory?
