### What specialists earn in Turkey and abroad

The Turkish market. Istanbul is the region's media capital: TV channels, production houses, digital agencies and brand media hire journalists, producers and communication specialists. Digital skills — filming, editing, SMM, analytics — speed up the start. Because ranges are re-indexed annually with the minimum wage, treat any salary figure as valid for its year only.

## How to apply for Film and Television in Turkey

Admission to Film and Television programs at private Turkish universities runs on your school record: an 11-year certificate is accepted directly, and most universities skip entrance exams. Two prerequisites: a language certificate (TOEFL for English tracks, TÖMER for Turkish) and the denklik equivalence - we process the latter alongside your application. State universities may ask for the YÖS or SAT.

Start 6-9 months before the intake so there is time to compare current terms. We shortlist universities for Film and Television; discount or scholarship terms are confirmed in writing by the university or funding body.
