Useful information
Entry requirements
Undergraduate (Bachelors) degrees
If you are studying A-Levels or the International Baccalaureate (IB) you may be considered for entry into the first year of a Bachelors degree. Please see individual course pages for entry requirements.
If you have already completed the first year of an undergraduate degree at a Turkish university, you may be considered for entry into the first year of a Bachelors degree if you have studied relevant subjects.
For more information about available degrees please see individual course pages.
Postgraduate (Masters) degrees
If you hold a Bachelors degree with a GPA of 2.9/4.0 or 3.5/5.0, or an upper second class honours degree, from a recognised university you will be considered for entry to a Masters degree (depending on the subject you wish to study).
For more information about available degrees please see individual course pages.
PhDs and other research degrees
To apply for a PhD (or other postgraduate research qualification) you must have an undergraduate (Bachelors) degree from a recognised Turkish university, usually in a related subject area, with an approximate GPA of 2.9/4.0 or 3.5/5.0 (depending on the subject you wish to study) which is equivalent to a UK Upper Second Class Honours degree (also known as a 2:1).
You must also be able to demonstrate practical knowledge of appropriate research methodologies. Research degrees are demanding and intensive: to succeed at this level you must be highly motivated, be able to work independently, and have an appropriate familiarity with the discipline and its associated research techniques/methodologies.
Where a Masters degree is required, this is indicated in the relevant description on our Postgraduate Research webpages, together with further information about requirement.
