Frequently asked questions
Is an engineering degree from abroad recognized in Türkiye?
YÖK (Türkiye's Council of Higher Education) handles the recognition and denklik (degree recognition) procedures for bachelor's degrees from abroad. Denklik means the degree is treated as equal to Turkish degrees in terms of learning outcomes. The preliminary application is made through e-Devlet or the YÖK website.
Can you study aerospace engineering in English in the Netherlands?
Yes, TU Delft's Aerospace Engineering bachelor's is taught entirely in English. There is no Dutch requirement for this program. You need an IELTS Academic, TOEFL iBT, or Cambridge CPE or CAE result. Language certificates older than two years are not accepted.
Is it possible to work in industry for a year during your studies?
At Imperial College London, Aeronautical Engineering students can move to the Year in Industry program (H420) after the third year. To do this, the student must be on track for a 2:1 and must have found a suitable industry placement.
