Placement:

The number of candidates who have the right to enroll from the same nationality cannot exceed %20 of the total quota of the relevant program.

If the scores of the candidates are equal, the order of preference is given first, and if the equality continues, the candidate with the younger age is given priority.

Candidates who are placed in our university can get a “Placement Result Certificate” from https://ogrbasvuru.deu.edu.tr/Yos/dogrulama_index.php. This document replaces the “Letter of Acceptance” and can be verified at https://ogrbasvuru.deu.edu.tr/Yos/dogrulama_index.php with a verification code. Candidates can obtain a visa by going to the Turkish Embassy in their country with this document.

Note: Equivalency Certificate for high school education is not required from the applicants for the application and Equivalency Certificate is one of the documents required for final registration. The Ministry of National Education of the Republic of Türkiye has the sole discretion to issue the Equivalency Certificate in Türkiye. Diploma equivalence procedures take a very long time due to the high number of people in provincial and district Directorates of National Education. Therefore, candidates are advised to obtain their diploma equivalence certificates from the Turkish Embassy or Turkish Consulate in their country.
