University journey

01

Choosing a university is also choosing a career and a country.

02

We start with where the student wants to be, and together we decide the major and the country that will take them there.

03

Every country has a different application system; we prepare the file in the language of that system.

OUR STUDENTS SAY

In their words

Berkay walked us through the whole process openly; he didn't hide what we could do or what would be hard. When a few things went wrong, he found solutions and pulled it all together.
AresGISMA University of Applied Sciences, Germany
At the start I was looking at other countries, but none of them felt right. Then, with Berkay, I found out I could study in Spain. My foundation year is done, thank you :)
EsinUniversitat Politècnica de València, Spain
When you talk to Berkay, you see he doesn't beat around the bush. He never said yes to something that wasn't going to happen. We still keep in touch, so big hellooo from here
BilalBudapest University of Economics and Business, Hungary
At every step of the process I knew exactly where I stood. Thank you, Berkay.
BirkanWarsaw University of Technology, Poland
I'm in my second year now. I came with a lounge visa. We started the application at the end of November and by the end of January I was in class. Thanks, Berkay.
UtkuQueen Mary University of London, United Kingdom
Top level consultancy... thank you...
UmutDublin City University, Ireland
If you don't get the required language test score on time, you may hear a firmer tone (it happened), but in the end you see how hard he worked for you. Thank you so much for everything.
EsenWebster University Leiden, Netherlands
Berkay is easy to talk to; he really listens. He told me not only the good sides but also what I needed to watch out for.
AliWittenborg University of Applied Sciences, Netherlands
Berkay felt like both a consultant and someone I already knew. He was sincere when explaining the process and never brushed off my questions. He is also very driven about moving things forward.
Berk WilliamUniversity of Groningen, Netherlands
Berkay is straightforward and solution focused. The way he follows things up gives you confidence.
TolgaAalto University, Finland
I didn't expect this to be so easy.

ELSEWHERECAMPUS FAQ

Frequently asked questions

All questions

Do you need to take the YKS to apply to universities abroad?

For direct entry with a Turkish high school diploma in Germany and Austria, you need at least 180 points in the YKS (Türkiye's university entrance exam) and a place in a program. In Lithuania, Vilnius University asks for a YKS result or at least one year of university documents in addition to the diploma. In Poland, it is enough for the diploma to give the right to apply to a university in Türkiye.

What do you do if a Turkish high school diploma is not accepted directly?

UCL does not accept direct entry to a bachelor's with state, private and Anatolian high school diplomas, and recommends the International Foundation Year. The University of Melbourne and the University of Sydney also point to a foundation program as the way in for diplomas that are not on their list. In Germany this preparation is done through a Studienkolleg; it mostly lasts two semesters and ends with the Feststellungsprüfung exam.

Can we apply before getting the high school diploma?

Yes. In the United Kingdom, a student whose exams are not finished yet gets a conditional offer. The place is confirmed when conditions such as a graduation grade or an English requirement are met. According to the University of Portsmouth, bachelor's applicants meet these conditions in August and September of the start year.

Can you study a bachelor's in English in countries where English is not the native language?

According to Study in Finland, Finland has about 600 English-taught bachelor's and master's programs; Aalto has six bachelor's programs in English. In 2026 the University of Tartu opened 25 master's programs in English and only 2 bachelor's programs. In Czechia, a student studying in Czech at a public university pays no tuition fee, while English programs charge fees.

Do you have to choose a major when applying in the US?

No. In the US, a student can enter a university without choosing a major and often makes the decision at the end of the second year. In the first years, you take courses in English, mathematics, science, the humanities and the social sciences. A bachelor's usually takes four years full-time.
