What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0005742) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 110 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 3.9★ — read the full text below before deciding.

Verify before you pay anyone

  • Recognition and licensing rules change over time. Re-check the current NMC-eligible colleges list and this country's regulations for Turkey yourself before paying anything.
  • Never pay an agent or "seat reservation" fee in cash, or before you have a signed offer letter directly from the university.
  • A guaranteed admission, a discounted "management quota" seat, or pressure to decide within 24 hours are classic pressure tactics — slow down and verify independently.
  • Confirm the medium of instruction, hostel/food costs, and total multi-year fee in writing from the university itself, not only from an agent's brochure.

This panel is generated from data on this page (WDOMS listing and student reviews) plus general precautions that apply to any MBBS admission abroad — it is not a claim, positive or negative, about this specific college beyond what's shown here.

Real reviews from students.

Worst university for international students!! DO NOT REGISTER HERE! I tried to cancel my contract as a first year student due to medical emergency and even tho it DOES NOT SAY SO ON THE CONTRACT they are asking full payment to cancel my contract and return my original documents $4000 just return my original documents what a joke

Edip Mangtay

Two months before the preparatory exam, they provide exam-based training; you go from a basic to an intermediate level, there's a huge difference, and you don't understand anything. The teachers themselves say this is wrong and that the school provides this curriculum. Unfortunately, it's not a school that supports its students.

Tolga TAYFUN

I had an MRI appointment for December 31st at 10:00 AM. I took time off from work and arrived on time. It's now 11:30 AM and I'm still waiting. Appointments at a state hospital shouldn't be delayed this much. If I'm going to have to wait this long, why am I paying so much money? Isn't your time the only thing that matters?

al? sunguralp

This is what a truly wonderful university should be like. I toured the interior; the technology, hygiene, modern library, classrooms, teachers, social activities, sports facilities, cafeteria, canteens, and outdoor seating areas are all very well-organized. Kudos to those who made this a prestigious university. Thank you.

Cansu Özdemir

Definitely do not choose this school, I did it, you should not do it. It is a money trap. Even though I have finished the school, they have dropped the courses and never pass them. They take money every semester and prolong the work. The school never cares about you and you cannot find a solution when you have a problem.

Mesut Durmus

I would not recommend choosing this university, which mistakenly charged us the excessive installment amount for tuition as a single payment and never responded to our requests for a solution. It's nothing more than a business filled with incompetent and unqualified employees whose only concern is taking your money.

Cavidan Sakall?

I graduated in July 2023, but my diploma hasn't been issued in a year, and now it's still not registered, and I can't get in touch with the student affairs office at all! Anyone with sense should stay away from this university!!! Communication shouldn't be this difficult; I've been a victim for two years now.

Gamze ??ler

The worst university I've ever attended. They opened it solely to employ free staff in their hospitals. It's a university where everything is taken care of when it comes to getting paid, but nothing is resolved when it comes to your personal matters. I don't recommend it to anyone; it's a complete money trap.

ufuk boluk

I'm receiving treatment at ?stinye University's chemotherapy unit. There's nothing more comfortable than working with truly competent people. Everything is professional and proceeds as it should. I'd like to express my gratitude to the friendly and hospitable staff, especially Ms. Deniz and Ms. Sevim.

Elif Suzgun

They took away our service rights and tried to make a student pay 140 TL for the service. They deceived people by saying that the services are free after registering, and then they made the service fee 140 TL for one day during the semester, leaving our children in a very difficult situation.

Hasan DO?AN

We've entered the registration renewal period, and during the pandemic, it's nearly impossible to reach the Accounting department. Our emails and phone calls haven't been answered. Other than that, we haven't experienced any negative experiences. We hope to resume in-person training soon.

Emel Ekinci

A school where I got ridiculous answers when I called, never got any help, and spoke to a snobby person on the phone. I was only going to ask about a department related to graduate studies. A foundation university, they said, "Check the website, otherwise it doesn't exist." Interesting!

serhan saracoglu

I am receiving treatment in the medical oncology service. I am endlessly grateful to my nurses Deniz, Ece and Gölgem for their unwavering support throughout my treatment process. May God bless them and by the way, they are providing excellent vascular access. May their paths be clear.

Emir

I've never seen a university this indifferent. And it's supposed to be private. We paid the course fees days in advance, but the course selection hasn't been made. I've sent countless emails and called, but I haven't received any response, positive or negative. It's a complete regret.

Serhat Aksoy

The university I graduated from has excellent professors and a very engaging curriculum, but I can say that the departments and general secretariat that handle other areas are terrible. Self-interest takes precedence; if you're not useful to them, they don't even bother with you...

ugur özayd?n

Last week I went for a checkup at night. The night manager, An?l Biyakli, was really very attentive and helpful. The hospital is beautiful and hygienic, the staff is attentive, especially the night manager, An?l Biyakli, was very nice and polite in his dealings with the patients.

?stanbul diaries by a foodie / chef

My life's most favourite memories are at this campus . Dedicated staff and availability of every need by students , extra curricular activities and exposure to a lot of inter learning. The quality of facilities and education is mükemmel. Once an istinyeli always an istinyeli.

Tayfun Arabac?

I don't study at this university, but the announcements say they offer neonatal intensive care training. We applied for that. I haven't heard back or anything. Then when I call the university, they ask if there was such an announcement. Congratulations, they are so careless.

alperen barlas

It's a very bad university. Don't ever come here. The value and education given to students are useless. The school is full of foreign students. The teachers are either Indian or Arab. If you want to listen to the English accents of Indian or Arab teachers, come and come.

Eyup Akca

There are empty seats where students who were able to get in the 1,000,000 queues in the university entrance exam and students who got full scholarships out of desperation because they had no money in their pockets are given nothing in the way of education.

Kadriye Sar?

Last night, we went to the emergency room for my daughter. I'd like to thank the doctor for his attentiveness and the sweetness and kindness of Nurse Kübra. Despite being newly opened, our procedures went smoothly. You can choose us with peace of mind.

Ayaana Adam

I’m about to start this university only if they except me as one their students! It’s seems to me good well managed and clean and huge. Would anyone out there enlighten me more about this university because I’m really excited about it ?? …

Melih Yard?m

I'd like to thank my oncology doctor, Erkan Kay?kç?o?lu, and his colleagues (Aysel, Emine, Rabia, Ümran) and each and every one of you. They've always made us feel their smiles and sincerity throughout this process, and I'm so glad we have you.

Sibel Demiröz

I called to choose a university. The woman who was trying to give information to prospective students didn't scold me. I didn't understand how rude she was. It's not appropriate for a university. I gave up immediately. It's not a place to choose.

My son studies at this university's Vadi campus. We came to the Topkap? campus for an exam for an elective course. Other than that, we don't have much to do with this campus; Vadi is closer to us, and all his department's classes are held there.

Amr Elsayed

They steal money from students. The university is not recognized globally. Do not waste your money in it. Don't enter it. No quality of education. The professors do not teach well as they play youtube videos for explaination instead of teaching

Ceren Nur Hayru?lar

Those who are students here know this very well, but if anyone is still thinking of coming, they shouldn't. The library is tiny, has no ventilation, and smells awful. And during exam time, when we're already there to study, they kick us out …

Charles Anoka

An affordable private University being it is foundational. There are two main campuses located at the Topkap? and the Vadi areas of European Istanbul.
The staff to students ratio is standard so they generally offer a good learning opportunity.

Ferhat Akta?

Don't worry, there's a hospital next to a university named after a metrobus stop. They took our money until it was built. Neither the teachers nor the administration nor the classrooms are top-notch. While you're in class, things pour down …

May Ir

I'm going to advise you, and everyone is free to do as they please, but honestly, this university is psychologically devastating. The professors wish they wouldn't give you a failing grade; they just want to fail you. They're all scammers. …

Serap Konuk

Last year, your annual tuition fee (at the Faculty of Pharmacy) was 350,000 TL, but this year it's 650,000 TL.
With prices increasing by nearly 100% every year, it's unbelievable.
I'm curious how you'll explain this increase in such a climate.

Skycane

I am a student at this school, and the professors are indifferent, the student affairs office is inadequate, and the fees are higher than other universities; it's essentially a commercial enterprise. The education provided is insufficient. …

(I gave 5 stars to make my review stand out) It is not a school that you can study at, neither with a scholarship nor with a fee. Student Affairs does not help with any of your questions. I want to tell you about my experience. They could …

G?ldane Catak
