Double Major / Minor

These opportunities enable successful undergraduate students to receive a second diploma in another degree programme or a graduate certificate of minor in another subject area they are interested in on the condition that they meet certain criteria. Associate Degree students may also benefit from these opportunities to receive a second Associate Degree diploma in another degree programme on the condition that they meet certain criteria.

Double Major / Minor procedures are carried out according to “Regulations on the Principles of Transfer, Double Major and Minor, and Inter-Institutional Credit Transfer between Associate Degree and Undergraduate Degree Programmes” which came into effect after publication in the Turkish Official Gazette on 24 April 2010, “Beykent University’s Regulations on Education in Associate Degree and Undergraduate Degree Programmes”, and “Beykent University’s Double Major / Minor Directive”.

Undergraduate Degree Programmes which are available for Double Major are listed in the Appendix 1 of Beykent University’s Double Major / Minor Directive while the available Associate Degree Programmes are listed in Appendix 2 of the same Directive.
Students who study a programme whose medium of instruction is Turkish and wish to do a Double Major or Minor in a programme whose medium of instruction is English are required to pass Beykent University’s Placement Test, prove they have passed a national or international English proficiency exam listed in “Beykent University’s School of Foreign Languages Education and Examination Directive”, or attend the English Preparatory Programme for one year and complete it successfully.
International students have to prove that their Turkish language level is sufficient if they wish to do a Double Major or Minor in the departments of which medium of instruction is Turkish.
Those who apply for the departments which require candidates to pass the Special Talent Exam must sit for and pass the Special Talent Exam to be administered by the relevant departments. If the number of applicants exceeds the quota determined by the Senate, GPA is taken into consideration. If the GPAs of two applicants are equal, the university placement score of the Double Major / Minor programme is taken into consideration, and the one with the higher score is selected. Final decision about the applications is given by the Administrative Board of the Faculty/School.
