From what I know:
- There is no other way to enter university but YÖS. Some other diplomas count, but I dont believe the Danish to be valid. İf you have studied in a field at a unversity in Danmark, you might be able to go on a Turkish university without the YÖS test, but your followed courses must match and your results must be higher than 80 percent. In general, YÖS is the easiest way to enter univesity, and there are dershanes with special maths lessons for foreingers. Metropol in Ankara is a well-known and good quality one!
- One of my friends married a Turk and with that received residencepermit with that if Im not mistaken. I do recall the costs to be a lot higher than just a foreign-student residence viza though.
- Visas for higher education are easily obtained with a paper that says you will follow the course (this can be Tömer or a real University).
- The Turkish government usually does not give scholarship to foreigners. It merely depends on where you come from. Some of my course-mates from Kazachstan and Albania received money to pay their course and a burs to pay their stay in the dormitory. But all the people from West europe, (England Holland and Germany were the ones in my class), did not receive anything.
- When married to a Turk, the prices for TÖMER are half price

If I were you, subscribe to the TÖMER-course of the city you will be living in.
- With a paper that you will study Turkish-course for one year at TÖMER, you can apply for a studentvisa at your nearest Turkish embassy in Denmark. The prices for Holland were around 50 euros and it is done in one day. Upon arrival, you take this visa and your schoolpapers to the police-station and they give you a residnce-permit for as long as the course takes. Final courseday is also departure-day of teh country but you wont have to worry about that since youre getting married.
Also, upon arrival, find a dershane that specializes or at least gives lessons in YÖS-mathematics. You can buy very good books to practice at home from Metropol, if you have somebody to help you (the books are meant for practice and basically are set up for a student who already knows the basics).
After these lessons, you can take the YÖS exam in April, pass maths, IQ and Turkish, and apply for (almost) any faculty of (almost) any university in Turkey. Then you will get a new residence-permit based on the new study you will follow.
Note: once you obtain a student-visa, which is the only way to be accepted into a higher education programme (it is in the acceptance procedure), you are not allowed to work anymore. Your residence permit will have a page saying that working is forbidden.
Besides, an uneducated job in Turkey wont bring you far. And part-time jobs are not as normal as in Europe for students. Actually, no one who studies works, and no one who works, really works parttime.
