Step-by-step Application Process

1. Determine the applicant’s level and eligibility

• Confirm whether the Moroccan applicant seeks an undergraduate or graduate degree.
• Undergraduate eligibility: completed Moroccan baccalaureate or an equivalent high school diploma (or provide certificate of expected graduation if applying before final transcripts).
• Graduate eligibility: hold a recognized bachelor’s degree (and any programme-specific prerequisites).

2. Prepare required documents (organise before starting the online application)

Undergraduate applicants — typical document set:

• High School Diploma or a certificate of expected graduation.
• High school transcripts (translated and notarised if required).
• Passport copy (clear, readable).
• English proficiency test results if the program is English-taught (see Language Proficiency section).
• Motivation letter and reference letter(s), if requested by the program.

Graduate applicants — typical document set:

• Bachelor’s diploma and transcript (or certificate of expected graduation if applicable).
• Letters of recommendation (usually 2).
• Statement of Purpose / Research Statement.
• CV/resume.
• Passport copy and recent passport-sized photos.
• Any program-specific requirements (research proposal for PhD, portfolio for design programs).

3. Complete the online application

• All international applications to Kadir Has University are submitted online. Encourage applicants to use the university’s official international admissions page and the Study in Turkiye university profile for stepwise guidance.
• Ensure documents are uploaded in the correct format (PDFs for diplomas/transcripts, JPEG/PNG for photos, as specified).
• For agencies: create an internal intake form that mirrors the university application fields to reduce back-and-forth and accelerate submission.

4. Evaluation and potential interview

• Applications are reviewed by program faculty and admissions committees.
• Some applicants may be invited to an online interview as part of the evaluation.
• Admissions teams should communicate interview formats, expected duration, and evaluation criteria to applicants and agents in advance.

5. Conditional acceptance and deposit payment

• Successful applicants will receive a conditional acceptance letter that may include information about scholarships and fee discounts.
• A deposit of 250 USD is required to secure the place; this deposit is deducted from tuition fees at registration. For candidates awarded a full (100%) scholarship, the deposit is refunded upon registration.
• Admissions teams should provide clear payment instructions, accepted payment methods, and a payment deadline to ensure candidates do not lose their place.

6. Official admission letter and visa application

• After the deposit is confirmed, Kadir Has University issues an official admission letter.
• Moroccan applicants must use this admission letter to apply for a Turkiye student visa at the Turkish Embassy or Consulate in Morocco.
• Agents and recruiters should prepare visa instruction packets for applicants (documents checklist, appointment booking guidance, sample interview questions).

7. Travel and in-person registration in Turkiye

• Upon visa approval, students travel to Istanbul and complete in-person registration at Kadir Has University.
• Students must bring original documents, passport with Turkiye visa, and proof of deposit payment.
• Remaining tuition payments, if any, are due at registration per university instructions.

Language Proficiency and Preparatory Options

• English-taught programs: applicants must submit valid English proficiency test scores (TOEFL iBT, B2 First, CAE, CPE, or PTE Academic) or take the university’s English proficiency exam.
• If an applicant does not meet the English requirement, they may be placed in the KHAS English Preparatory Program before starting the degree program.
• Turkish-taught programs: applicants who are not native Turkish speakers must provide recognized Turkish proficiency (for example TÖMER C1 or Yunus Emre Institute C1) or may be required to complete preparatory Turkish language instruction.

Practical Application Checklist for Moroccan Applicants

• Prepare motivation letter and 2 recommendation letters (graduate applicants).

Best Practices for Admissions Teams and Recruiters Working with Morocco

• Localised marketing: tailor messaging to Moroccan cultural and academic contexts; highlight study pathways, cost-of-living comparisons, and scholarship opportunities.
• Compliance and credential mapping: ensure Moroccan baccalaureate credentials are properly evaluated — create clear equivalency tables and standard pre-screening templates.
• Partnerships and automation: enable real-time application status updates to agents and candidates using API or portal-based integrations to minimise manual follow-up.
• Scholarship packaging: present conditional scholarship offers with clear terms referencing the 250 USD deposit and refund policy for full scholarship holders.
