In Italy, a country with countless opportunities to enrich students culturally throughout university life, you can visit world-famous historic landmarks such as the Colosseum, the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain, as well as museums and buildings with unique architecture, and you can do so at a very affordable price. In Italy, which bears the traces of turning points in history such as Ancient Rome, the Renaissance and the Baroque period, you can visit more than 150 museums at student-friendly rates and see 12 sites that are among the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Transport in Italy is mostly by bus, tram, taxi and bicycle. There is a tram line that tours the country’s tourist sites and runs between 05:30 and midnight. Taxis operate from taxi ranks; hailing a taxi on the street is not as common a practice as it is in our country. On the other hand, Italy is a very suitable place for getting around by bicycle and on foot. Since distances are not very long, you can reach many places by bicycle or on foot. 

SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

YÖK Equivalence of Italian Universities

The Turkish equivalence of diplomas from Italy is the process of determining whether the associate, Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees you have obtained from a higher education institution abroad recognized by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK), from your university and from any of your programs, are equivalent, in terms of the outcomes at the relevant education level, to the associate, Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees awarded by higher education institutions in Türkiye.

What is essentially meant is that it depends on whether the compulsory courses you took during your education and their content are consistent with the compulsory courses of the same department in Türkiye, their content and their workload. If this consistency and compatibility is sufficient, equivalence is granted to your diploma or university. If there is no such consistency, you may be asked to take the courses deemed missing at a university in Türkiye or to sit an equivalence exam. If you score 50 out of 100 in the equivalence exam, equivalence is granted to your diploma.

Recently, there have been significant developments regarding equivalence, particularly within the scope of the European Union process and the Bologna Agreement, and YÖK’s attitude on this matter has progressed in a very positive direction. In particular, no problem remains in terms of recognition or equivalence for diplomas obtained in European Union countries and member states of the union. In countries that are not members of the union but are within the scope of the Bologna Process (e.g., Russia, Ukraine), there is likewise no significant obstacle left regarding the recognition and equivalence of diplomas.
