Aksaray University Begins International Student Admissions for 2026-2027

A New Chapter of Registration at Aksaray University Aksaray University, known among students by the abbreviation ASÜ, is one of the leading educational institutions in central Turkey, recognized for its dynamic academic environment and affordable costs. According to a report by the "Aksaray Yenigün" newspaper, the university officially began accepting international student applications for the 2026-2027 academic year today, June 29, 2026 [1]. This call provides an exceptional opportunity for students worldwide to study at one of Turkey's prestigious state universities.

Timeline and Important Deadlines According to the schedule published by the International Student Coordination Office of Aksaray University, the admission process will be conducted in several stages. The first stage of online registration began on June 29 and will continue until July 3, 2026 [2]. Candidates should note that this timeframe is very short, and submitting documents after this date for the first stage will not be possible.

The final results for the first stage will be announced on July 15, 2026, and students who successfully secure admission must complete their final in-person registration on August 5 and 6, 2026 [2]. Additionally, for those who miss the first stage, a second admission phase is planned for August.

Admission Requirements and Necessary Documents Aksaray University has established flexible conditions to facilitate the entry of foreign students. To complete the initial registration, applicants must upload the following documents to the university's online system: 1. A scan of a valid passport. 2. A high school diploma along with an official translation into Turkish or English. 3. Academic transcripts. 4. Receipt of payment for the Material Fee amounting to 30 US Dollars, which must be deposited into the university's foreign currency account [1][2].

An important point is that Aksaray University does not require the TR-YÖS exam score for many departments; however, having this score or other international exams can increase a candidate's chances of admission in popular fields such as engineering and health sciences [3].

Why Study in Aksaray? The city of Aksaray, located on the historical Silk Road and near the Cappadocia tourist region, is one of Turkey's safe and peaceful cities for student life. ASÜ provides a multicultural environment with over 1,600 international students from 49 different countries [3]. The cost of living in this city is significantly lower compared to cities like Istanbul or Ankara, while the quality of education and university facilities, including modern dormitories and sports halls, meets Turkey's national standards.
