TURKISH EDUCATION SYSTEM
The Basic Structure of the Turkish National Education System consists of four main stages as preschool education, primary education, secondary education and higher education.
Pre-school education consists of non-compulsory programmes whereas primary education is a
compulsory 8 year programme for all children beginning from the age of 6. The secondary education
system includes “General High Schools” and “Vocational and Technical High Schools”.
Higher Education is defined as all post-secondary programmes with duration of at least two years. The
system consists of universities (state and non-profit foundation) and other types of higher education
institutions (police and military academies and foundation vocational schools). Each university
consists of faculties and schools offering First Cycle (Bachelor’s level) programmes (240 ECTS), two
year vocational higher schools offering Short Cycle (Associate’s level) programmes (120 ECTS) of a
strictly vocational nature and also graduate schools administering graduate programmes.
The Higher Education Law No. 2547 is the main law, which governs the higher education in Turkey.
All universities (both state and non-profit foundation) are subject to the same law and
regulations/rules. All state and non-profit foundation universities are founded by Law. The Higher
Education System is regulated by the Council of Higher Education (Yüksek Öğretim Kurulu-YÖK)
established in 1981, the Council regulates the activities of higher education institutions with respect to
research, governing, planning and organization.
Admission to higher education is based on a nation-wide Student Selection Examination (ÖSS). The
examination is held once a year and is administered by the Student Selection and Placement Center
(ÖSYM). Candidates gain access to institutions of higher education based on their composite scores
consisting of the scores on the selection examination and their high school grade point averages.
Graduate level of study consists of the Second Cycle (Master’s Degree) and the Third Cycle
(PhD/Doctorate Degree) programmes. There are two types of Master’s programmes: with or without a
thesis. The Master’s programmes with a thesis have 120 ECTS and consist of a minimum of seven
courses, with a minimum of 21 national credits, one seminar course, and a thesis. The seminar course
and thesis are non-credit and graded on a pass/fail basis. The duration of the Master’s programmes
with a thesis is four semesters. Non-thesis Master’s programmes have 90 ECTS and consist of a
minimum of 10 courses with a minimum of 30 national credits and a non-credit semester project. The
semester project is graded on a pass/fail basis. Duration of the non-thesis Master’s programmes is
three semesters. PhD programmes have 240 ECTS and duration of eight semesters which consists of
completion of a minimum of seven courses, with a minimum of 21 national credits, passing a
qualifying examination, preparing and defending a doctoral dissertation. Specialization in Medicine
accepted as equivalent to third cycle programmes are carried out within the faculties of medicine,
university hospitals and the training hospitals owned by the Ministry of Health.
Since 2003, a change in the 1996 Regulations on Graduate Education allows Bachelor’s degree
holders to PhD programmes if their performance at the Bachelor’s degree level is exceptionally high
and their application is approved. For these students, the theoretical part of the PhD programmes
consists of a minimum of 14 courses, with a minimum of 42 national credits.

The national credit system is based on contact hours (i.e. theoretical or practical hours per week). 1.0 credit stands for each
hour of lecture a week and 0.5 credit stands for each hour of laboratory or practical a week.

Mersin possesses the fish and other products of the sea that Mediterranean provides. On the other
hand, it has a wide variety of agricultural products grown in different environmental and climatic
conditions offered by the plains, plateaus and mountains. This rich variety of flora and fauna naturally
has led to a remarkable kitchen tradition. In Mersin and surrounding tourism centers the specialties of
the local kitchen can be found. The basis of the local kitchen consists of a great variety of kebabs.
Some of these are even eaten during breakfast or just as snacks between meals. The most widespread
one is the tantuni that could be bought from street vendors. It is made of small pieces of steak.

Medical Facilities
There are variety of hospitals and private clinics in both city; Adana/Mersin. To benefit from these
health services, all foreign exchange students and visitors are strongly advised to have a valid

ABOUT MERSIN AND ADANA CITIES
City of Mersin
The locality of Mersin is one of the most ancient regions of Anatolia, but Mersin is one of the newest
cities of Turkey with a population of 1.500.000. The area where the city is founded was settled in
ancient times. It is still possible to see sites such as Soli-Pompeipolis in the western suburb of Mezitli
and the Yumuktepe tumulus, which is one of the earliest settlements in world history, dating back to
6000 BC. Historical ruins, dating from ancient times, together with those from the more recent past
under Turkish rule, make for a region rich in cultural variety, and provide opportunities to view, and
experience remnants of many different cultures.
Although Mersin's history reaches far into the past, Mersin today is a relatively young city. No larger
than a small town at the end of the 19th century, the city of Mersin became a medium-sized city in the
1960s. Mainly due to internal migration in the 1980s, Mersin has become one of the most rapidly
growing cities in Turkey. A number of factories providing employment opportunities have contributed
to this rapid development.
The Mediterranean climate, coupled with rich agricultural lands and the use of the latest techniques in
greenhouse production, provides for several harvests of farm products each year. Industrial
developments in the formation of fertilizer and food processing plants, as well as an important oil
refinery complex have increased employment opportunities. Mersin is Turkey's third largest sea port
and a free trade zone, and is at the center of a busy transportation network. It is possible to take a ferry
from Mersin to Magusa in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and from Taşucu to Kyrenia. One
can fly to every major city in the country and abroad from Adana Airport, 60 km to the Northeast. The
soon-to-be-finished motorways will also connect Mersin to central Anatolia (Ankara 480km.), and to
southeast Anatolia (Adana and Gaziantep) as well as Syria and Iraq in the east.
One can reach Antalya (460 km) to the west by means of an unusually beautiful road that offers
magnificent scenery. Moreover, it is possible to take a train from Mersin to the whole of Anatolia and
abroad. The Taurus Mountains to the north of the city have provided for the development of additional
tourism mainly in the form of mountain hikes and many summer resorts that have become centers for
relaxation and recreation.
18
In recent years along the western coast, many new tourist complexes and summer villages have
emerged. The coastal area is also very rich in archaeological sites, including Uzuncaburç, Kanlıdivane,
Kızkalesi, Viranşehir (Pompeipolis), Eshab-ı Kehf, Anemorium, Mamure Kalesi and Yumuktepe.
These are major attractions not only for their historical significance but also for their beautiful scenery.

Because the city received many immigrants from nearby regions, the local culture is a medley
of civilizations.

The city hosts the State Opera and Ballet Institution, the fourth after Istanbul, Izmir and
Ankara.

Mersin International Music Festival was established in 2001, and it is one of the major cultural
events of the province. The festival takes place in May every year.

The XVIIth Mediterranean Games, commonly known as the 2013 Mediterranean Games
was the 17th Mediterranean Games. The Games were held in Mersin, Turkey over 10 days
from June 24 to July 3, 2013. http://www.mersin2013.org.tr/en/

You can eat Mersin's delicious sea food, "tantuni" - a kind of hot sandwich, deserts such as
"kerebiç" and "cezerye" and also all kinds of "kebap".
See following link for more information on Mersin: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mersin
19
City of Adana
Adana is now inhabitating about 1.400.000 (including the immediate suburbs receiving
municipal services), whereas the Provincial Population is about 1.950.000. Reputed most with its
extraordinarily fertile lands and certainly broad range of agricultural products, Adana is the center of a
region called “Cukurova”, the agricultural coastal lowlands.
It is said that the history of the city dates back 8000 years, hosting more than 40 civilizations. In fact,
throughout the history, the city itself and its surroundings have been highly attractive places for
several reasons beyond the rich flora, such as, the mild weather, rich underground and running water
resources, its position to take place at the only passway to Mezopotamia on South Anatolia and broad
possibilities of mining including rich silver mines.
Climate
Mediterranean Climate dominates from the sea shore up to 400-600 mt highs. Adana receives
no snow except appearance of some flying flakes for a few minutes throughout the year. The Taurus
Mountains, however, receive plenty of snow, which is regarded to be the main source of the thousands
of springs forming a web of streams and rivers. It is worthy to note that it takes about 40-50 minutes
drive to both of the warm beaches in the south and to the snow-ball play grounds at the Taurus
Mountains, in the north.
See following link for more information on Adana: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adana
