For Özyeğin University students
Özyeğin University’s campus is in Nişantepe, Çekmeköy. Students applying for exchange programmes, double degrees, a master’s abroad or an internship at a foreign company have their diploma, transcript, student certificate and reference letters translated. If the school already issues documents in English, you may only need translation into another language or certification; check the receiving institution’s list first.
International students have documents from their home country translated into Turkish for enrolment and residence permit procedures in Türkiye. Stating the source language and the issuing country up front speeds up the quote.
