New Students Orientation

Every semester, we organize an orientation for incoming students. Our orientation takes place one week prior to the beginning.

We recommend that you be present for the orientation because the information given is very valuable for your adaptation in Istanbul, the residence permit application process, and to assist you during your study period at Bahçeşehir University. Please note that the course registration week will also take place during the orientation week.

Be aware that you may be charged at the transit airport for any goods in your hand- baggage that would normally be subject to customs duty.

You are advised to book your travel as far in advance as possible as ticket prices can increase nearer to the date of travel.
