APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS

International students must meet specific minimum requirements to apply to our ASBU. Applications with international exam results, such as YÖS, SAT, ACT, Abitur, IB, and AP, are acceptable. Applicants who provide YÖS results will receive priority for evaluation.

Note: Please note that TR-YÖS University Entrance Exam results are valid only for two years.

 High school graduation scores are also acceptable for application. For applicants with diplomas obtained from Türkiye or abroad, the high school graduation score must be at least 80 out of a 100-point scale. Additionally, applicants must have graduated from high school within the past two years; those who graduated more than two years ago will not be eligible for evaluation.

The ASBU International Student Admission Committee evaluates applications based on predetermined quotas. The Senate determines the acceptance thresholds and/or ratios for international exam scores, YÖS scores, and high school graduation scores, which are published in the Ankara Social Sciences University (ASBU) List of Acceptable International/Local Exams for International Students. This list also specifies country-specific score requirements approved by the Senate.

Please note that applications that do not meet the requirements will not be evaluated. However, meeting the application requirements does not guarantee admission. The University Board of Directors determines the final list of students eligible for registration.
