Burcu Soysev completed her primary, secondary and high school education at T.E.D Ankara College. She passed the exam of the Hacettepe University State Conservatory Vocal Arts Department, however the conditions prevalent at the time forced her to discontinue her studies there and instead she went on to study in the Faculty of Law at Ankara University, where she had gained a place in the same year.
