If you’re planning to study in Türkiye, you will often hear the term “university recognition” (YÖK recognition). In simple words, recognition refers to whether a foreign higher-education institution is recognized in Türkiye for official and academic checks.
This is where many applicants get confused: recognition is not the same as diploma equivalency (denklik). Equivalency is a separate procedure handled through official channels. RecognitionTurkey does not provide equivalency. Our service focuses on recognition status checks and delivering a QR-code verifiable recognition certificate/report based on the official query result.
Why does recognition matter? Because universities, employers, or institutions may ask you to prove your institution’s recognition status—especially for master’s and PhD pathways.
With RecognitionTurkey, you can:
Create an account and run a recognition check
Receive a clear result based on the official recognition query
Download a QR-verifiable certificate/report that can be validated when needed
If your next step is studying in Türkiye, start with the most practical first step: check recognition and keep a verifiable document ready.
