Introduction & Overview

Study in Turkiye regularly receives inquiries from international recruiters, admissions teams, and education partners about Koç University’s Times Higher Education (THE) ranking. Our research and international recruitment teams prioritise accuracy and transparency. At present, Study in Turkiye’s sitemap-linked content does not include an editorially verified profile that cites Koç University’s THE ranking. This article explains what Study in Turkiye can and cannot publish, how to obtain and validate THE data, and how our services support verified, compliant international recruitment.

Koç University Times Higher Education ranking

Why this matters to you

• Recruiters and admissions teams rely on global rankings to benchmark reputation and attract international applicants.
• HR and marketing use ranking data for employer branding and alumni engagement.
• Agencies and edtech providers require verified data for integrations and accurate applicant guidance.

What we currently know from Study in Turkiye’s internal content

• Study in Turkiye’s internal sitemap and published university pages do not currently include a Koç University profile that cites its Times Higher Education ranking.
• Platform policy requires ranking claims on Study in Turkiye to be supported by internally sitemap-linked content; therefore, Study in Turkiye cannot publish or repurpose an externally sourced THE ranking for Koç University without first creating an internally vetted page.

What this means in practice

Do not assert a specific THE rank for Koç University on Study in Turkiye channels unless Study in Turkiye’s editorial team first publishes a verified internal profile.

For partner communications and recruitment materials, use neutral wording until Study in Turkiye’s editorial verification is complete.

How to create a verified Koç University THE ranking profile (step-by-step)

Step 1 — Internal content audit

Check existing university pages on Study in Turkiye to confirm there is no current Koç University profile. Use the All Universities index for a quick scan. Document gaps in program-level detail (medicine, engineering, business) and any existing partnerships or articulation agreements you hold with the institution.

Step 2 — Source verification and editorial approval

Request original THE ranking documentation from the university’s communications or international office, including the specific THE table (institutional or subject-level) and the year/edition. Submit the documents to Study in Turkiye’s editorial team for verification against internal sourcing standards. Editorial will confirm whether the reference meets publication criteria and will draft an internally linked university profile for site-wide use.

Step 3 — Build the verified profile and metadata

• Official university name and pages
• Verified THE ranking statement with edition/year and scope (institutional or subject-specific)
• Program highlights relevant to international students
• Admissions and scholarship information

Ensure the profile includes canonical metadata so it can be referenced by recruitment workflows and feeds.

Step 4 — Integrate into recruitment workflows

Once the profile is published on the Study in Turkiye sitemap, CRM tags, email templates, and program recommendations can reference the verified ranking. Update lead routing and segmentation to reflect the university’s profile placement and target audiences.

Editorial checklist (for quick copy approval)

• Source document uploaded and verified
• Statement includes edition/year and scope
• Internal review completed and published on sitemap
• Links added to related program pages and partner resources

How to use these verified pages

Messaging and compliance — how to mention rankings responsibly

Best practice checklist for communications professionals

• Always include the edition/year when referencing a ranking (e.g., THE World University Rankings 20XX).
• Specify whether the ranking refers to institutional or subject-level performance.
• Use hedging language if a ranking is pending verification on Study in Turkiye (for example, say the profile is “being updated” or “pending verification”).
• Avoid stating numerical ranks without Study in Turkiye editorial verification for public or private channels managed by Study in Turkiye.

Sample compliant messaging

Neutral: “Koç University is an internationally recognized institution. We are currently updating our internal profile to include verified Times Higher Education references.”

With verification (after editorial approval): “Koç University is ranked X in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings (Year), according to our verified editorial profile on Study in Turkiye.”
