Yeditepe and Near East charge per term, so they are not in this chart. Altınbaş: 2025–2026 list.
Bahçeşehir: the simplest table
Bahçeşehir has one fixed price for all master's programs: 12,000 USD for a non-thesis master's (about one and a half years) and 14,000 USD for a master's with thesis (two years), both for the full program. Clinical Psychology and the EMBA are 18,000 USD each.
Yeditepe: tuition per semester
Yeditepe charges 5,000 USD per semester for most master's programs. A master's with thesis takes at least four semesters and a non-thesis master's at most three semesters, and under the university's regulations the fee for each semester is paid separately. Clinical Psychology is 6,000 USD and dental specialties are 17,000 to 25,000 USD per semester.
With thesis or without thesis?
- With thesis: Usually two years, and better suited to continuing to a PhD or to research work.
- Without thesis: Usually one and a half years, and cheaper at some universities; for example, 2,000 USD less at Bahçeşehir.
- At Haliç, both options have the same price for most programs.
