Methods of Payment

Tuition fees can be paid via:

  1. Credit Card

    You should enter the online payment website of the university. You can use any credit card to make the payment through the following link: https://kampus.izu.edu.tr/odeme

    If you have a featured credit card (Bonus, Combo, Maximum, Paraf and World) from Turkish banks, you can pay annual tuition fee in 10 instalments. If the limit of the single credit card you are using is not sufficient to pay the entire tuition fee, you can continue to pay with a different credit card for the remaining amount.

   2. Bank Transfer:

One of the two ways of paying the tuition fee is via Bank Transfer. In case you have a bank account, you can wire the payment to one of the following accounts of the university. In case you would like to pay cash, you can go to any bank branch and ask to transfer money to university’s account. It is important that you only ask to transfer. If you ask to make tuition payment, the bank employees would confuse your payment with other type of payments and would tell you that you need to have Republic of Turkey identity number, which you probably do not have.

Remember to include "Name-Surname, Passport No, Undergraduate Tuition Fee" in the payment description. Otherwise, your payment will be disregarded as an unidentified transfer.

In case you have Republic of Turkey identity number, you can make the tuition payment in 10 installments at the bank. In other words, the bank pays to the university and you pay to the bank in installments.

You are required to make the payment either for an entire academic year or for a semester. In case you make the payment for an entire academic year, you will receive 5% discount for advance payment.
