For students planning a career in Turkey after studying abroad, YÖK Equivalence is of vital importance. Here is the step-by-step YÖK equivalence process.
Difference Between Recognition and Equivalence
School Recognition: Confirms that the university is recognized by YÖK. Montenegro UDG has this recognition.
Equivalence: Confirms that the department curriculum you completed matches the academic programs in Turkey.
Required Documents for Application
- Official Diploma (and notarized Turkish translation)
- Official Transcript (all semesters grade report)
- Passport entry-exit logs (verifiable from e-Devlet)
- Apostille on original documents
Important Considerations
Students graduating from universities in the top 400 globally (e.g. Arizona State University) benefit from university entrance exam exemptions, making equivalence easier. The final approval is always subject to YÖK's individual portfolio evaluation.
