Located in the heart of Canada’s capital, the University of Ottawa offers the best of both worlds: students can live and study in French or English and still have the opportunity to become fully bilingual.
Turkey
Each year, many students from Turkey come to the University of Ottawa for a Canadian degree. They come because of the reputation the Canadian education system enjoys, and in particular, because of the University of Ottawa’s unique multicultural and bilingual (English and French) environment.
If you are an applicant originally from Turkey currently studying in a Canadian institution, please select your current or last school system for information specific to your profile.

Determine whether you’re eligible for advanced standing
If you have completed some postsecondary studies, you will be evaluated on this basis, even if you are applying for an undergraduate program.
We may grant you advanced standing (i.e., transfer your credits), depending on the program to which you apply. Faculties that grant advanced standing will base their decision on the discipline, the courses you have completed, and the length of your studies.
