Core tuition fee — details and implications

Annual fee and application

Annual tuition for Dentistry (English or Turkish): $23,000. This rate is published as the standard annual fee for international students on the Dentistry program. The fee applies per academic year for the five-year undergraduate dentistry degree.

Financial planning implication

• Admissions teams and recruitment partners should budget $115,000 for tuition alone across five years.
• Include contingency allowances for tuition increases, currency fluctuations, and other mandatory fees.

Installment and payment terms

Typical arrangements

Tuition is usually billed annually, but many universities in Turkiye allow installment plans across the academic year or by semester. Confirm the precise payment schedule (single payment, two installments, or monthly plan) when the official offer letter is issued.

Action items for recruiters and admissions teams

• Obtain the official invoice format and payment deadlines prior to contract signing.
• Build communications templates that clearly explain payment deadlines and bank transfer instructions to candidates.

Other mandatory and administrative fees

What to expect

Registration fees, student activity fees, and VAT or local administrative charges may be applied in addition to tuition. Istanbul Aydın University may not list every minor administrative charge on the headline tuition page; confirm at registration.

Best practice

Request a full fee breakdown (tuition + mandatory extras) from the university’s international admissions office so candidates receive a complete cost-of-study figure.

Language track, preparatory year and exemptions

Language and prep year

• Both English and Turkish tracks carry the same tuition rate.
• If a candidate does not meet the English language requirement, a preparatory (prep) year may be mandatory — approximate English prep-year fee: $5,025.
• Evidence of accepted English proficiency (TOEFL, IELTS, or equivalent recognized by the university) typically exempts students from the English preparatory year.

For admissions teams

• Make language-testing requirements explicit in pre-application materials.
• Where language training is needed, partner with language providers or include the prep fee in financial packages.

Program duration and total tuition commitment

Dentistry at Istanbul Aydın University is a five-year program. Tuition is charged annually, so the total tuition commitment over the full degree is:

$23,000 × 5 = $115,000 (tuition only).

Recruitment message: Present tuition over 5-year timelines in both annual and cumulative formats to help families plan financing, loans, or scholarship applications.

Academic entry requirements (high-level)

• High school diploma or its equivalent with a science focus (recommended).
• Specific GPA criteria may apply; many international applicants apply under GPA thresholds rather than national entrance exams.
• No standardized national exam required for most international applicants; verify on a case-by-case basis.

Admissions teams should request certified transcripts, translations, and any supporting documentation in advance. Use a pre-evaluation checklist to fast-track eligible candidates.

Living costs are not included in tuition. Typical student budget items in Istanbul include:

• Accommodation (on-campus or private housing).
• Food and groceries.
• Local transportation and clinical placement travel.

Tip for recruiters: Provide candidate budgets that layer tuition, prep-year costs (if applicable), and six to twelve months of living expenses to demonstrate affordability.
