• Application format: Fully online from Indonesia until physical registration in Istanbul.

Step-by-step application process for Indonesian applicants

Program-specific guidance and university pathways

Medicine and health sciences

Medicine programs are competitive and often require additional documentation, motivation letters and earlier application timelines. BAU fields in health and allied sciences are strong. For applicants evaluating alternatives in medicine, consider Istinye University and Medipol University as complementary options for health-focused recruitment strategies.

For recruiters: prioritize medical candidates early, confirm language requirements, and prepare interview coordination logistics.

Arts, design and conservatory programs

BAU requires portfolios for certain creative majors (Cartoon and Animation, Textile and Fashion Design, Conservatory).

• Portfolio guidance: include high-resolution samples, clear captions and a brief artist statement.
• Standardize file formats (PDF or JPG) and keep a backup online.
• Tip: Host a portfolio review webinar or provide a checklist for agencies to ensure submissions meet the review panel’s expectations.

Engineering, business and tech programs

BAU, Ozyegin University and Bilgi University are strong partners for engineering, entrepreneurship and digital innovation programs. Leverage cross-promotion and program comparisons to guide student choices.

For postgraduate technical applicants: confirm thesis vs. non-thesis options, ALES requirements, and research supervisor availability.

Practical tips for Indonesian applicants and recruitment teams

Document management and translations

• Submit clear scanned copies and retain notarized originals for registration in Istanbul.
• If diplomas/results are pending, submit predicted grades or first-term results, and communicate expected timelines to the admissions team.

Language and proficiency

Many programs do not require language certificates at application stage, but proof may be requested before enrollment. Recommend students prepare TOEFL/IELTS and BAU’s internal proficiency exam if targeting English-taught programs.

Visa and travel logistics

Start the visa process immediately after receiving the Official Acceptance Letter. Maintain a checklist: acceptance letter, passport, photos, proof of funds, accommodation details and any embassy-specific forms.

Speed and conversion best practices for recruiters

• Respond promptly to document requests — BAU evaluates quickly and delayed responses can reduce offer likelihood.
• Use Study in Turkiye’s portal integrations to upload applications in bulk and track status in real time.
• Train agents on program-specific requirements (e.g., portfolios, motivation letters for medicine).
