Foreign Language Proficiency and Multilingualism

In our University, which adopts the policy of multilingualism in education concerning Master's and Ph.D. programs where multilingualism is a graduation requirement, our students must have a certain level of degree over English, Turkish, and Arabic (or other language envisioned by the program).

Students can successfully meet the admission requirement of language proficiency in the program by taking language preparation school first if the Institute is granted provisional admission. Additionally, students will be able to successfully meet their language requirement concerning graduation by passing language courses during their education. For these languages, students who have certified their language proficiency at the desired level as a condition of graduation or acceptance with foreign language exams accepted by the University will also fulfill their obligations. Foreign language exams approved by our University are TOEFL, YDS, YÖKDİL, and PTE for English and YDS and YÖKDİL for Arabic. Master's degree students who do not have a score on these exams can take the language proficiency exam organized by our University. For registration to doctoral programs, participation in centrally organized exams is mandatory for registration to doctoral programs.
