Actions:

• Confirm whether the student is applying for Fall (September/October start) or Spring (February start).
• Fall is the primary intake with broader program availability; Spring can be limited by seats.
• For planning: assume Fall applications open as early as March/May and close end-August; Spring windows may run October–December or into January.

Always verify the program-level announcement. Graduate programs often publish bespoke dates; for example, a civil engineering master’s (non-thesis) announced a Fall 2024 window from 27 March to 30 September 2024.

Action for recruiters: maintain a program calendar for Gelisim and compare against faculty-level calendars to spot exceptions. See Gelisim University.

Standard documentation for international applicants:

• Undergraduate: high school diploma, academic transcript, passport copy, photo, and any required language proof.
• Graduate: bachelor’s degree, transcripts, CV, motivation letter, references (if requested), and degree equivalency where relevant.
• Some programs may require additional materials such as portfolios, entrance exams, or departmental forms. Action: compile a program-specific checklist and confirm with Gelisim University admissions portal.

• Applications are typically submitted online through the university’s admissions portal or via authorised representatives. Often there is no application fee.
• Best practice: submit fully documented applications at least 2–4 weeks before published deadlines to avoid processing delays. Upload high-quality scanned documents and double-check mandatory fields.

• Preliminary responses can be rapid; institutions may issue initial offers within 1–3 working days for many programs. Final acceptance usually follows fee payment and completion of documentation.
• Recruiter workflow: set SLAs for every stage — submission, acknowledgement, offer, final payment — and automate reminders using your CRM or Study in Turkiye’s partner tools.

• After final acceptance, students should begin visa applications immediately using the acceptance letter and any other required documentation.
• Coordinate arrival logistics: housing guidance, insurance, orientation, and bridging language support as needed.

• Support students through on-campus registration and orientation. Confirm enrolment and tuition payment to secure placements and any scholarship awards.

Example: Fall 2024 graduate window: 27 March 2024 – 30 September 2024 (programme-specific).

Projected 2025–2026 general reference:

• Spring 2026 applications could open as early as 1 August 2025 and close by 31 January 2026 for February intakes.
• Fall 2025 applications commonly open March/May and close end of August.

Medicine, dentistry and advanced health programs often have earlier windows or specific seat limits. When discussing health programmes, compare or advise applicants on leading health-focused institutions on the Study in Turkiye platform such as Istinye University and Medipol University. Use these comparisons for benchmarking intake timing and credential requirements.

Engineering programs may require additional documents such as project portfolios or English proficiency proof. Relevant benchmarking institutions include Yildiz Technical University and Ozyegin University.

These programs typically follow the general intake windows but sometimes include rolling admissions or scholarship deadlines. Compare with institutions such as Bilgi University and Beykent University for marketing and scholarship timelines.

• 6+ months before intake (November–March for Fall): confirm program availability and scholarship windows; begin candidate sourcing.
• 3–4 months before intake (March–May): open applications for Fall; begin document collection and pre-screening.
• 1–2 months before deadline (June–August): submit complete applications; chase missing documents.
• Immediately after submission: monitor acknowledgements and preliminary offers (1–3 working days typical).
• 1–2 months pre-arrival: finalise visa documents and coordinate travel and housing.
• Arrival month: assist with registration, orientation, and compliance checks.
