Admission English Language Requirements:

Proficiency in English is a prerequisite for acceptance at the Alliance of Civilizations Institute. Priority will be given to those students, who present higher TOEFL or equivalent scores. A minimum score of 84 in TOEFL-iBT or an equivalent score in CAE, CPE, PTE Academic or YDS is highly advised for application.

For the English language proficiency requirement, applicants may submit the official results of any exam that is recognized as equivalent to YDS by YÖK (Turkish Council of Higher Education). For a list of the recognized exams please see: https://dokuman.osym.gov.tr/pdfdokuman/2021/GENEL/esdegerlikdokuman06042021.pdf

Exceptions:

Native English speakers and applicants with a bachelor’s degree from an accredited and recognized institution of tertiary education in an English-speaking country (US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand) are not required to take any English proficiency examination.

Successful MA applicants, who for country-specific reasons are not able to take an accepted English proficiency examination, MUST present their scores from one, or successfully pass the University’s English Proficiency Test before official enrollment in the Fall semester. Failure to do so will result in admission offer cancelation.

 

PRE-PROGRAM LANGUAGE PREPARATION:

Students at ACI are obliged to attain proficiency in Turkish and Arabic by the time of their graduation. Proficiency in English is a prerequisite of admission as described in our application requirements. The best candidates for admission apply with a good command of these three main languages. Students without a good command of Turkish and/or Arabic will have to complete the scientific preparation year program before the start of their degree courses. International students will have to prove a minimum of A-2 level proficiency in Arabic and C-1 level in Turkish in order to be able to graduate. Turkish citizens may receive preparatory Arabic instruction and register for a single graduate course in this preparatory year. We do not offer an English preparatory year program. The students, who fail in the scientific preparation year program will have their enrollment annulled.

All prep year language classes are offered at the School of Languages at IHU’s Main Campus in Başakşehir.

Please refer to the School of Languages website for the Turkish and Arabic preparatory language course fees.
