10.6.1 Non-Discriminatory Admissions Policy

As a foundation higher education institution, IGU fully complies with the laws of the Republic of Türkiye, the regulations governing higher education, and national policies that prioritize public interest in all its activities. The university’s operations are grounded in the principles of transparency, impartiality, reliability, confidentiality, and equal opportunity for all, ensuring a fair and inclusive approach to access to higher education.

In accordance with Article 7 of Law No. 6114 issued by the Measurement, Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM), all application and placement processes are carried out on the basis of equality, without any form of discrimination among applicants. Furthermore, as stipulated in Article 10 of the Constitution of the Republic of Türkiye, discrimination based on language, religion, race, color, gender, political opinion, philosophical belief, sect, ethnic origin, nationality, disability, marital status, age, social status, educational background, or sexual orientation is strictly prohibited. All actions are guided by the constitutional principle that all individuals are equal before the law.

In line with its goal of internationalization in higher education, IGU provides an equal, transparent, and non-discriminatory admission process for students from diverse countries. All application requirements, evaluation criteria, and necessary documents related to international student admissions are publicly disclosed, and the admission process is conducted based on objective and measurable standards.

Within this scope, all activities carried out at the university aim to ensure equitable conditions that enable every individual to realize their potential. Discrimination is not tolerated under any circumstances, and each individual’s right to access, participation, and development on an equal and dignified basis is unconditionally guaranteed.
