2-Year Education for Foreigners in Vocational Schools

If you want to enroll in any associate degree program in Turkey, you must have a valid high school diploma. In addition, if you have a valid residence or work permit in Turkey, if you want to study at the same time, you can apply for the quota opened by universities for foreigners without an exam.
