Fenerbahçe University publishes a formal Directive on the Admission of International Students to Associate and Undergraduate Programs (doc code YÖN.REK.03, revision 07 dated 28 August 2025) on its international site. Candidates must be high-school seniors or graduates, fall into one of the eligibility categories in the directive, and meet the country-by-country diploma or exam thresholds set out in its Annex-1. Applications are submitted electronically through the university's own portal with passport, diploma and transcript; the International Relations department evaluates them, issues a conditional acceptance letter, and then an unconditional acceptance letter once the deposit is paid. The directive states that meeting the application requirements does not guarantee admission, and that applicants are ranked by graduation grade average when applications exceed the quota.
