WHAT ARE THE EXCITING NEWS?

1. Turkish High School Counsellors Workshop
This exclusive event provides an invaluable platform for universities to engage with top high school counsellors around 60 leading Turkish high schools from Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir and other cities in one place. As you know, meeting 60 top high schools in one visit is very difficult for the universities and as IEFT, we are bringing together the high school counsellors to meet with you on the same day at the same place. The event will take place on 27 March 2026 Friday at Hilton Istanbul Bosphorus. The general fee is 3.000 Euros for this unique event. For more details please click here. As this is a very unique event and we accept limited prestigious institutions please do not forget to register until December 20th!

2. High School Visits

We will also organize high school visits either right before or immediately after the fairs, giving you the opportunity to meet students and their parents. This exclusive event will be offered specifically to THSCW participants.

3. VIP Visitor Entrance

Many Turkish parents are now eager to invest in their children’s futures — even willing to pay a small entrance fee for the exclusive opportunity to meet university representatives face-to-face, away from the crowds and long waiting lines. That’s why we’re introducing a Premium 1-on-1 Meeting Session — a special 2-hour event (11:00–13:00) designed specifically for Year 11 and 12 students for undergraduate programs and last year of university students for master programs to connect directly with top university representatives in a focused, personalized setting. To ensure only genuinely interested participants attend, a modest participation fee will be applied — and the fund will be donated as scholarships to academically outstanding students. There will be no additional charge for your university to take advantage of this feature.

4. On-site Seminars at IEFT Fairs

You can promote your institution to a wider audience where you will have a chance to share a presentation and have Q&A session. We will be targeting the best ranking high schools and universities for this seminar such as Koc High School, Robert College, Uskudar American, Saint-Joseph, TED Istanbul, Galatasaray High School, Bilkent University, Bogazici University, Koc University, Sabanc? University etc. The fee for one session is 1.000 Euros. Since spots are limited, we recommend reserving your place as soon as possible.

6. Program Based Marketing

Currently in Türkiye, programs such as psychology, engineering, IT, business and law are highly popular, and we will be highlighting these fields for our visitors at the March fairs. If you would like to promote your undergraduate and graduate programs in Türkiye, IEFT is the right address for you!

7. High School and Summer School Pavilion

Currently, the interest for high school education abroad is booming in Türkiye. With local private school tuition fees going up a lot, more and more families are looking into sending their kids abroad for high school. Turkish students are very focused on academics and getting into good institutions, so there's a strong interest in summer schools with academic, arts, sports, or internship themes. At our previous 46th fall fairs, we proudly hosted nearly 30 leading schools, and the feedback from both institutions and families was exceptional. Participants found the fair well organized, with students showing strong interest and families actively engaged.
