Students and families in Pakistan will have the opportunity to meet representatives from 25 universities when the Turkish University Fair 2026 opens in Islamabad on Saturday, 5 December, and moving to Lahore on Monday, 7 December. The fair is jointly organised by Istanbul Education Services (IESPL) and Maarif Agency, with the support of the Ministry of Trade of the Republic of Türkiye.
For students considering engineering or architecture, the fair offers a chance to compare programmes at Middle East Technical University, and Istanbul Technical University. Those interested in aviation can speak with the University of Turkish Aeronautical Association about two quite different ambitions: designing aircraft and learning to fly them.
Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa brings a clinical perspective through its Faculty of Medicine, while İzmir University of Economics offers prospective students a choice of fields that includes business and visual communication design.
The wider delegation reflects the variety of university life across different cities and campuses. Participants include Ankara University, Atatürk University, Eskişehir Technical University, Kastamonu University, Fenerbahçe University and Eastern Mediterranean University, alongside other public and foundation universities. Students can use the visit to explore a course they already have in mind or discover a programme they had not previously considered.
For families planning ahead, there will also be time for practical questions. How will a university assess an applicant’s HSSC or A level results? Which courses are taught in English or Turkish? What does a scholarship cover, and how much should a family budget for accommodation? Students and parents can put these questions directly to university representatives in either city.
Türkiye has become one of the world’s ten leading destinations for international students. In the 2024/25 academic year, its universities welcomed more than 350,000+ students from 182 countries and regions. For students in Pakistan, the fair brings that international community a little closer.
With 25 universities to meet in Islamabad and Lahore this December, you can ask what studying your chosen subject in Türkiye would be like, what it would take to get there and where you might feel at home.
Islamabad: Saturday, 5 December 2026, at the Marriott Hotel, from 10 am to 4 pm.
Lahore: Monday, 7 December 2026, at the Nishat Hotel, from 10 am to 4 pm.
