## How to apply for Film Design in Turkey

Admission to Film Design 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.
