Student's acceptance is based on the results of examinations centered on student admission into associate and undergraduate programs in Turkey under the regulations of the Higher Education Institution. The Student Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM) places the students in their chosen departments according to the scores of the candidates on the elective examination and the contributions of the high school scores.

Recognition of prior learning is one of the most important features of the Turkish Education System.

Newly enrolled students, if successful, can be exempted from some mandatory language courses by entering the foreign language proficiency exam given by our university. Candidates who hold an associate degree can be placed in a BA program that is a continuation of their previous program according to their scores on Vertical Transfer Exam (DGS) administered by the Student Selection and Placement Centre (ÖSYM). Such candidates’ previous grades from their successful completion of the courses they have taken that are considered to be equivalent by the university are transferred without regards to their transcript of records and grade point average.
