YÖS (Yabancı Uyruklu Öğrenci Sınavı) is the admission exam of Turkish universities for international applicants: there is the central TR-YÖS run by ÖSYM and the own YÖS exams of some universities; they mainly test mathematics and numerical-logical reasoning. TYS (Türkçe Yeterlik Sınavı) is the Turkish proficiency certificate exam of the Yunus Emre Institute. Preparation runs in groups of no more than four students or one-to-one, online or at our centre in Baku (159 Aliyar Aliyev Street); lessons run between 09:00 and 21:00. Our teachers are internationally certified professionals.
You start with a free placement test (at our centre or on our online platform) and a free trial lesson; the programme and duration are set individually after the placement test. There is a mock exam every month, and parents can follow attendance and progress on our own online platform. If you don't reach your target score, lessons continue free of charge; your consultant explains the terms. The EDDE Global team helps with university choice, applications and documents; to learn Turkish from scratch, see the Turkish course.

They are two different exams: YÖS measures academic skills for admission, TYS measures your level of Turkish. Which one you need, and with what score, is set by the university and programme you choose.
| Exam | Run by | Structure | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| TR-YÖS | ÖSYM (central, several times a year) | Numerical Ability 40 questions + Basic Mathematics 40 questions, 100 minutes; offered in several languages | Admission to bachelor's programmes at Turkish state and private universities; the list of accepting universities is published every year |
| University YÖS | Individual universities | The university's own format; usually mathematics and logic | Only for that university (sometimes its partners) |
| TYS | Yunus Emre Institute | Reading, listening, writing and speaking; B2, C1 or C2 certificate by result | Exemption from the Turkish preparatory year on Turkish-taught programmes; proof of language for work and teaching |
Question counts, language options and dates can change; check the official ÖSYM and Yunus Emre Institute sites before registering. Each university sets its own score requirement.
For admission, universities usually ask for a YÖS result (or another exam such as the SAT); on Turkish-taught programmes they may also require proof of Turkish, such as the TYS. We check your university's requirement together.
