University Management Software in Turkey
OpenEduCat supports Turkish universities with YOK compliance tools, YOKAK accreditation preparation, and YKS-based admission processing. Our platform handles the needs of both state and foundation universities across Turkey.
University Education in Turkey
Turkey has over 200 universities, including 129 state universities and approximately 75 foundation (vakif) universities. The Council of Higher Education (YOK) coordinates the entire system, while YOKAK (Higher Education Quality Council) handles institutional and program accreditation. Student admissions are centralized through the YKS (Yuksekogretim Kurumlari Sinavi) national exam, with OSYM managing the placement process. Turkey enrolls approximately 8 million students in higher education, one of the largest systems in Europe.
