Istanbul Ticaret University tuition fees 2026 complete checklist

Quick tuition fee overview (2025–2026 rates used for 2026 intake planning)

Payment timing and policy highlights

Timing & core rules

• Fees are generally collected in two equal installments: first installment at registration; second installment before the spring semester.
• Master’s programs listed as “total” are split across the program’s semesters as noted by the university.
• Tuition covers educational services only — living expenses, accommodation, insurance, and personal costs are not included.
• Some faculties or programs may require a deposit at acceptance confirmation (commonly around 500 USD) — confirm with the university for the current academic year.
• Refunds and withdrawal penalties follow Istanbul Ticaret University policies — advise applicants to review refund rules before payment.

Complete operational checklist — admissions, tuition and compliance

Pre-application (recruiters & agencies)

• Confirm applicant eligibility (academic records, language scores, portfolio if required).
• Verify intended program and language of instruction (Turkish or English), then match the correct tuition rate.
• Provide applicants with a clear breakdown: tuition fee, deposit (if any), typical living costs, and visa processing time.
• Use Study in Turkiye’s consolidated materials and university pages to provide institution-specific requirements and timelines.

Application submission and follow-up (admissions teams)

• Submit completed application and required documents through the university’s application portal or via Study in Turkiye’s admissions workflow.
• Request an estimated fee invoice and timelines for acceptance confirmation from the university.
• Track application status using an admissions CRM or Study in Turkiye’s partner tools to ensure rapid follow-up.
• If a deposit is required, send a secure payment link and receipt template to the student.

After acceptance — securing the place and payments

• Send the acceptance letter and payment instructions to the student immediately after admission confirmation. Study in Turkiye can obtain and deliver official admission letters on behalf of applicants.
• Confirm whether the first installment is payable at registration and ensure students arrange transfer or card payment in advance.
• Verify bank details or portal links directly with Istanbul Ticaret University to avoid payment routing errors.
• Issue a payment confirmation and receipt to the student for visa and scholarship documentation.

Visa, arrival and onboarding

• Once the first installment is paid and the acceptance letter issued, begin student visa procedures. Study in Turkiye provides visa support and reception guidance from application through arrival.
• Prepare arrival logistics: airport pickup (if applicable), temporary accommodation options, orientation schedule, registration checklist and student ID issuance.
• Remind students about the second installment deadline (typically before the spring semester) and provide payment channels and reminders.

Practical checklist for accounts teams and financial officers

• Verify the program fee with the faculty for any program-specific variance before invoicing.
• Confirm currency and invoicing format (USD typically used for international students).
• Ensure two-installment invoicing templates are ready and automated reminders are scheduled.
• Maintain a clear refund and cancellation policy template to share with students.
• Reconcile payments with university receipts and student records monthly.

Notes for HR and marketing professionals — how to present fees and value

Messaging that converts

• Present transparent tuition breakdowns and what is included/excluded in copy and brochures. Tuition covers educational services only — living expenses are excluded.
• For English-instruction programs, highlight the premium clearly (for example, English bachelor’s: 7,000 USD) and explain language support services.
• Use comparative messaging when appropriate — reference partner institutions and program strengths to highlight specialization and career outcomes. For clinical-focused programs, consider references to Medipol University and Istinye University.

Operational marketing tips

• Create localized fee sheets for target markets (currency equivalents, payment methods accepted, scholarship or installment options).
• Use automation to send payment reminders and document checklists. Study in Turkiye’s recruitment platform supports automated communications, document intake, and application tracking to reduce administrative load.
• Measure conversion: track inquiries → applications → deposits → registrations to calculate recruitment ROI by program and market.

• Study in Turkiye acts as an institutional partner, delivering international recruitment, admissions coordination, official admissions letter coordination, visa support and arrival reception.
• Use Study in Turkiye to exchange official documents and receive verified payments and confirmations. This reduces miscommunication and improves time-to-enrolment.
• Integrated workflows ensure that fee changes, deposit requirements, and faculty-specific rates are communicated centrally and reflected in applicant invoices.

Admissions process for agencies — documents & timelines

• Official transcripts and diplomas (apostilled or legalized if required)
• Passport copy and photos
• Language proficiency proof (if required)
• Motivation letter / CV (for graduate applicants)
• Portfolio (for art/design courses)
• Medical/insurance documentation where applicable

Timeline checklist (typical)

• Application submission: allow 2–4 weeks for initial review (varies by program).
• Acceptance & invoice issuance: 1–2 weeks after department approval.
• Deposit/first installment payment: at registration to secure place.
• Visa application: start immediately after acceptance and first payment confirmation (processing times vary by consulate).
