Program Specific Requirements
- The ALES (Academic Staff and Postgraduate Education Admission Exam) is not required for non-thesis master’s degree programmes. (The Amendment Published in the Official Gazette No. 30417 of 10.05.2018) To apply for the master’s degree programme, candidates must have a bachelor’s diploma, and provide a copy of the ALES (Academic Staff and Postgraduate Education Admission Exam, administrated centrally by the Centre for Assessment, Selection and Placement) score which must be at least 55 points in the required type of score (verbal, quantitative or equal weight) or provide a copy of an equivalent score of Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), which are internationally recognised by the Council of Higher Education. The Senate will decide on what percentage of a candidate’s ALES score will be taken into consideration during admission and evaluation processes (The percentage set by the Senate must be a minimum of 50%.). However, the Institute may admit students to a master’s degree programme solely based on their ALES scores. The minimum score obtained in an ALES equivalent exam which is recognised by the Council of Higher Education may be increased upon the Senate’s decision.
