Detailed application steps (actionable checklist for recruiters and admissions teams)

1. Prepare and submit the online application

• All undergraduate and graduate applicants must use the Kadir Has online application system.
• Ensure every field is completed accurately and documents are uploaded in the requested formats.
• Recommended recruiter action: provide applicants with a pre-filled checklist and a document upload guide to reduce incomplete submissions and follow-up.

2. Required application documents

Undergraduate applicants typically need:

• High School Diploma (or proof of expected graduation)
• High School Transcript
• Passport copy
• English proficiency results if the program is in English (see language section)
• Reference letter and motivation letter if the program requests them

Graduate applicants:

• Must meet department-specific requirements; ensure the applicant uploads all documents requested by the specific master’s or PhD program.

3. Language proficiency requirements

• English-taught programs: Accepted exams include TOEFL iBT (min. 72), B2 First, CAE, CPE, or PTE Academic. Applicants who do not meet these scores may take the KHAS English Proficiency Exam or enroll in the KHAS English Preparatory Program (additional fee).
• Turkish-taught programs: Applicants must demonstrate C1-level Turkish through TÖMER or the Yunus Emre Institute.

4. Admissions review, interviews and conditional offers

• Admissions committees review submitted applications and may request an online interview.
• Accepted applicants receive a conditional acceptance letter. This letter typically states scholarship information (if any) and conditions to be met prior to registration.
• A deposit (currently $250 USD) is required to secure the place; this deposit counts toward tuition and is refundable for full scholarship recipients after registration.

5. Visa application process for Egyptian students

• Once the deposit is paid and the official acceptance letter is issued, the applicant can apply for a Turkish student visa at the Turkish Embassy or Consulate in Egypt.
• Recruiters should compile a visa document checklist for applicants: acceptance letter, passport, visa application form, proof of deposit/payment, financial proof (if required), and any embassy-specific documents.

6. Final registration in Turkiye

• After obtaining the student visa and arriving in Turkiye, students must finalize registration in person at Kadir Has University.
• Ensure applicants understand orientation dates, housing arrangements, and medical insurance requirements.

Documentation & administrative best practices for Egyptian applicants

Document formatting and translation

• Provide clear guidance on document translation and notarization if original documents are in Arabic.
• Encourage certified translations where required and advise applicants to keep both original and translated copies.

Timeline planning

• Start the process early: applications, language testing and visa appointments can each take several weeks.
• Ideal timeline: Begin at least 6 months before intended program start date to accommodate testing, document collection, and visa processing.

Common pitfalls and how recruiters can prevent them

• Missing or low-quality scans: offer a document quality checklist and sample scans.
• Late language scores: track test center schedules and retake windows.
• Deposit delays: provide clear payment instructions and multiple payment channels where possible.

Admissions evaluation — what Kadir Has University looks for

Admissions panels consider academic records, language proficiency, and, where applicable, motivation letters and references. For graduate programs, departmental fit and research interests carry added importance. Recruiters and admissions teams should prepare applicants to articulate academic goals and program fit during interviews.
