How to get your Turkish diploma recognized for university admission

1. Overview and Basic Requirements

Turkish academic degrees from YÖK‑recognized universities are generally accepted in Austria for university admission. If the diploma is from a university not recognized by YÖK, an equivalence evaluation is required.

2. Needed Documents

• Original Turkish diploma (certified copy)
• Official transcript of records
• Certified translation into German
• Apostille or official authentication

3. Getting the Equivalence

Submit the documents to the Austrian Agency for Quality Assurance and Accreditation (AQ Austria) or to the Austrian Exchange Service (ÖHT). They issue an equivalence certificate needed for admission.

4. Important Tips

Keep copies of everything, check the language requirement of the target university, and follow up with the authority if the process seems delayed.

5. Where to Get Help

Contact the international office of the intended Austrian university or the ÖHT for detailed guidance on any missing steps.
