Why consider Haliç University?
Key points for recruiters
- Location & portfolio: Haliç University combines an Istanbul location with a broad set of undergraduate and vocational programs that often appeal to international applicants seeking quality education at competitive cost. For full institutional details, see the Haliç University profile.
- Benchmarking: For recruiters comparing portfolios, also consider parallel listings across our network — browse All Universities in Turkiye to benchmark fees, programs, and services.
How we define “cheap” or “affordable”
Definition & planning
- Affordable is relative: it includes programs with lower tuition bands, shorter durations (vocational diplomas / associate degrees), programs taught in Turkish that may offer lower fees for international students, and degrees with strong scholarship availability.
- For 2026 planning: focus on total cost of attendance (tuition + living + visa and travel), not tuition alone.
- Always verify tuition bands and scholarship rules directly with Haliç University and other university contacts before committing applicants.

Health-related allied programs (non-Medicine)

Cost breakdown and budgeting for 2026 applicants
Tuition and program fees
Estimate approach: Use published tuition bands from the university’s official pages or Study in Turkiye profiles; if unavailable, ask admissions for the 2026 fee schedule before marketing. Action: Obtain confirmation of 2026 tuition in writing from Haliç University and attach it to your marketing pack.
Living and ancillary costs (Istanbul context)
Typical line items to present to candidates:
- Accommodation (shared student flat, dormitory options)
- Food and basic transport
- Health insurance and visa fees
- One-time arrival costs (airport transfer, deposits)
Tip: Provide a 12-month cost estimate to prospects (monthly living × 12 + tuition), so they see the full financial commitment.
Scholarships, fee waivers and discounts
Confirm available scholarships, early-bird discounts, sibling/employee discounts, and departmental assistantships. Action for recruiters: Create a scholarship matrix for Haliç University and for comparable options like Beykent University and Uskudar University so applicants can see comparative net costs.
Verification, compliance and admissions requirements — recruiter checklist
- Confirm language of instruction and whether the student needs an English or Turkish proficiency test.
- Verify minimum academic requirements and credential evaluation rules.
- Check whether YÖS (or university YÖS equivalent) or another entrance exam applies; direct candidates to preparatory resources.
- Collect clear lists of required documents and notarization/legalization rules for each nationality.
- Confirm intake dates and any conditional admission routes (language prep, foundation year).
