The Turkish Naval Academy (Turkish: Deniz Harp Okulu) is a four year co-educational military academy located in the district of Tuzla in Istanbul. Its mission is to develop cadets mentally and physically for service as commissioned officers in the Turkish Navy. It must not be confused with Naval War College (Deniz Harp Akademisi)
For the education and training at the Turkish Naval Academy, graduates from the Turkish Naval High School (Deniz Lisesi) are admitted without an examination, whereas civilian high school graduates majored in mathematics and science may also be admitted if needed.
