Step by step
At every step, you know in advance what we do, what we need from you, and what result you'll have in hand.
Overview
The calendar isn't built around a single general date, but around your target programme's own application period.
We review your diploma, transcript, YKS result, language level and budget together.
At this stage it becomes clear which university types and programmes suit you. We rule out unrealistic options right away.
What we need from you
Diploma or latest transcript, any language certificates and exam results.

What we need from you
Your interests, strong subjects and career goal.
Result of this step
A prioritised shortlist of programmes.
Deadlines, documents, language requirements and exams are gathered into a single calendar.
