Applicants to the program are required to hold a bachelor’s degree and master’s degree diploma for the PhD program and a Bachelor's degree diploma for the integrated PhD program. Also, applicants should demonstrate proficiency in English through exams such as YDS (Foreign Language Exam), YÖKDİL (Foreign Language Exam for Higher Education Institutions), TOEFL, or the Abdullah Gül University English Proficiency Exam. Additionally, applicants must meet the Academic Personnel and Postgraduate Education Entrance Exam (ALES - Mathematical Score Type) grade requirements specified by the program. The Equivalency Table, established by the Council of Turkish Higher Education (YÖK), guides GPA conversions between the 4.00 and 100 Grading Systems. For those applying to an integrated PhD program with only a bachelor's degree, a minimum ALES Mathematical score of 80 and a GPA of at least 3.00/4.00 are prerequisites.
