All the wars, big and small, that have shaped world history since the beginning of humanity, have had great effects on social and societal fields. Due to wars, people had to leave their lands permanently or temporarily and settle in new regions and new countries. This situation has led to the emergence of some new needs for both the immigrants and the indigenous peoples in the lands where the immigrants live. Turkey was also directly affected by the migrant crisis that emerged with the Syrian civil war, and as of 2021, the number of Syrian immigrants living in Turkey exceeded three and a half million. Turkey has started to take various measures in every field since the Syrian immigrants started to arrive due to the civil war. One of the first and most important of these measures is the participation of Syrian refugees in education. Necessary studies were carried out to ensure that the education life of immigrants, which was interrupted due to the civil war, continues in the most efficient way in Turkey, and Syrian immigrants at all levels from primary education to higher education were provided with education. This study is a compilation study that deals with the situation of Syrian refugees in Turkish higher education. In the study, first of all, a comprehensive literature review was carried out on the sources dealing with the situation of Syrian refugees in higher education. In this context, national and international studies on migration, education and migration, reintegration of Syrian refugees into society, the situation of Syrians at the age of higher education and at other education levels, the problems they experience and solution proposals have been examined. In the study, a synthesis was made on the situation of Syrian refugees in Turkish higher education by emphasizing the findings obtained in each study. The schooling and success of the Syrian refugees in the education age, from pre-school to higher education, will also provide solutions to many problems. The fact that especially the young population of university age will be raised as qualified individuals will be beneficial from their own perspective and will also bring about a positive change in the perspective of the Turkish society towards refugees.
