Deciding to study abroad is a life-changing moment. But the process of getting there (choosing the right university, securing admission, navigating the visa process, and actually moving to a new country) can be incredibly stressful, especially for African students and their parents.
The internet is full of confusing information, hidden fees, and unfortunately, fake agents who take advantage of students.
That is why StudySehir exists. We are an official, registered educational consultancy based in Turkey, dedicated to making your study abroad journey safe, affordable, and completely stress-free.
Here is exactly how StudySehir helps African students achieve their dreams of studying in Turkey.
1. 100% Free Admission Services
Unlike many local agents in Africa who charge massive upfront fees just to submit your application, StudySehir’s admission services are completely free for students.
How is this possible? We are the official, contracted representatives of over 50 top private universities in Turkey. The universities pay us to recruit high-quality international students. This means you get expert, premium admission guidance without paying us a single cent.
2. Guaranteed Tuition Discounts (Up to 75%)
If you go directly to a Turkish private university’s website, you will see their “official” tuition fees. Do not pay those prices.
Because of our official partnerships and the high volume of students we represent, StudySehir has access to exclusive agency discounts. We negotiate on your behalf to secure partial scholarships and discounts ranging from 25% to 75% off the official tuition fees.
Whether you are studying Medicine, Engineering, or Business, we ensure you pay the absolute lowest price possible.
3. Personalized University Matching
Turkey has over 200 universities. How do you know which one is right for your budget, your high school grades (WAEC, KCSE, Thanaweya Amma), and your career goals?
Our academic advisors provide a Free Profile Evaluation. You send us your transcripts and your budget, and we provide a customized list of the best universities and programs that match your specific profile. We ensure the universities we recommend are accredited and globally recognized.
4. Safe and Secure Tuition Payments
One of the biggest fears parents have is sending money abroad and getting scammed.
At StudySehir, we never ask you to send tuition money to our personal bank accounts. We guide you through the process of paying your initial deposit and tuition directly to the university’s official corporate bank account via SWIFT transfer. Your money is always safe.
5. Expert Visa Guidance
Getting accepted into a university is only half the battle; getting the student visa is often the hardest part for African students.
Our visa experts understand exactly what the Turkish Embassies in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Egypt, and Somalia are looking for. We provide you with:
- A comprehensive checklist of required documents.
- Guidance on how to present your sponsor’s bank statements.
- Tips for the embassy interview.
- The crucial Final Acceptance Letter needed for visa approval.
6. Arrival Support and Accommodation
We do not abandon you once you get your visa. Moving to a new country where you do not speak the language is daunting.
When you land in Turkey, StudySehir is your family on the ground. We offer comprehensive arrival support services, including:
- Airport Pickup: A trusted representative will meet you at the airport.
- Pre-Booked Accommodation: We help you secure a safe, vetted private dormitory near your university before you even leave Africa.
- University Registration: We physically accompany you to the university to complete your final registration.
- Residence Permit (Ikamet) Assistance: We guide you through the complex bureaucratic process of applying for your Turkish ID card.
7. A Community and Support System
Studying abroad can be lonely at first. StudySehir connects you with a massive network of other African students already studying in Turkey. We are always just a phone call or WhatsApp message away if you encounter any issues during your studies, whether it is a problem with your landlord or advice on finding a part-time job.
Our Promise to African Students and Parents
Our core values are honesty, transparency, and integrity. We prioritize long-term student success over quick profits. We will never promise you something we cannot deliver, and we will always give you the honest truth about costs, safety, and academic realities in Turkey.
