Current status (THE profile audit)

Study in Turkiye frequently receives enquiries about Times Higher Education (THE) ranking profiles for individual universities. After an audit of internal listings and sitemaps, Study in Turkiye confirms that, for the university at the centre of a recent enquiry, there is currently no published THE World University Ranking profile present in our dataset.

• There is no disclosed position for this institution in THE World University Rankings on Study in Turkiye.
• There are no subject-specific THE rankings or international-student-focused THE indicators for this institution in our current pages.
• In short: Study in Turkiye has found no THE rank position, subject ranking, or year-over-year movement data for the queried institution in our dataset.

Why this matters for recruiters and admissions teams

The role of THE rankings in recruitment decision-making

• Reputation and discoverability: Many international applicants and partner agents use global ranking lists as shorthand for quality and recognition.
• Programme benchmarking: Admissions teams use ranking data to benchmark curricula, research output, and internationalisation against peers.
• Marketing and conversion: Rankings are often cited in promotional materials and recruitment campaigns to improve application conversion rates.

Practical implications of “no THE profile”

• Information gap: Without a THE profile, an institution may be less visible to students who prioritise ranking lists in early search phases.
• Alternative evidence required: Recruiters and admissions teams should present verifiable indicators of quality — such as accreditations, faculty profiles, graduate outcomes, international partnerships, and programme-level recognitions.
• Messaging nuance: Admissions and marketing teams need tailored messaging that emphasises strengths beyond global league tables (for example, clinical training, industry links, English-medium programmes, and student support).

How to evaluate a university for international students without a THE ranking

Use multiple quality indicators

• Accreditation and programme approvals: Confirm national and international accreditations relevant to each programme area.
• Graduate outcomes and employability: Request placement statistics, internship partnerships, and employer relationships.
• Internationalisation metrics: Ask for the percentage of international students, exchange partnerships, and mobility support services.
• Research and faculty profiles: Review faculty publications, industry collaborations, and research centres.
• Student experience: Inspect housing, counselling, language support, and student organisations that serve international cohorts.

Recommended verification checklist for recruiters

• Request official statements or reports on international student numbers and mobility programmes.
• Ask for programme-specific English language provision or documentation for English-taught curricula.
• Confirm visa and scholarship support processes for international students.
• Obtain sample class schedules, clinical or lab placement arrangements (for medicine and engineering), and practicum agreements.
• Review testimonies and alumni outcome summaries, ideally with contactable alumni from target countries.
