You can apply following this link : https://axcelacademy.com/scholarship/

When you pass the first phase of your scholarship application, we will email you some sample questions so that you can prepare for the aptitude test.

It depends which department you’d like to transfer to. If it is within the same department, you will just have to fill in an application and follow up with the admissions office. However if you’d like to transfer to a different department, you’ll have to fill in the credit transfer form to see how many credits you can transfer from your previous courses.

You have to meet a certain level of English before starting your studies with us. You can meet this by passing IELTS UKVI and scoring a minimum of 5.5. Otherwise, you can take the Axcel English placement exam. 

Yes we do provide a British MBA where you can study one year at Axcel International Academy
in Istanbul and then go to the UK to finish your degree. There’s also an option to finish the
degree without having to travel to the UK.

We provide you with the necessary documents to apply for a students visa to Turkey. In the third year (if you choose to continue in the UK) the university in the UK will provide you with the required document to apply for the visa. 
Visa in both countries is not guaranteed, as it’s only approved by the country’s government.   

Enrolling in undergraduate programmes requires that you have a recognised secondary school diploma. If you don’t currently hold a secondary school qualification, you can study for one academic year at Axcel and get an equivalent qualification that will allow you to enrol in an undergraduate programme.

We have an RPL system to recognise your prior learning. When you apply to transfer from another university, we will send you the credit claim form and let you know all the required documents that you need to submit.

About Our Qualifications

BTEC stands for Business & Technology Education Council and was established in 1984.
BTEC is one of Pearson’s qualifications that is taught across the globe by leading educational institutions.

The BTEC is shaped to be relevant to your local environment and is taught by professionals with experience and contacts within the
relevant industry.

The BTEC level 5 HND is widely recognised as equivalent to one or two years of university education.
Everything you learn and achieve can count towards an undergraduate degree and the majority of BTEC graduates are fast-tracked to the second or third year of a degree course at a wide range of leading universities worldwide.

– 95% of UK Higher Education Institutes
– Over 200 universities worldwide – including several of The Times top 100 ranked universities in Australia, Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong
– Over 70 professional bodies – including Chartered Management Institute (CMI), Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), and the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE)
