Türkiye's Higher Education Board

Students who achieve the highest scores in the university entrance exam in Türkiye prefer to study medicine, psychology, and engineering the most, while once-popular fields like law are now less favored among the top students, local media has reported.

Around 1 million students out of the nearly 3 million who appeared in the university entrance exams have become eligible to enroll in universities for the forthcoming academic year, with 10 students getting flawless scores in their respective fields.

Türkiye's Higher Education Board (YÖK) head Erol Özvar has advised foundation universities to make inflation rates a top priority when determining fees.

Speaking to the press in Ankara, Özvar stated that they expect foundation universities to take into account the increase in rates in previous years.

There are more than 6.9 million students and nearly 185,000 academic staff in a total of 208 higher education institutions in the country, according to the 2022-2023 academic year's statistics, Türkiye's Higher Education Board (YÖK) has announced.

To ensure the normalization of education in the quake zone before the new school semester, academic staff from prestigious universities will give lectures in quake-hit provinces, Türkiye's Higher Education Board (YÖK) member Prof. Dr. Ömer Açıkgöz announced.

Türkiye's Higher Education Board (YÖK) is launching a new project to enable postgraduate students and researchers to conduct research of international standards.
