III-ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
3.1-Admission Requirements for Undergraduate Program
The Department accepts each year a maximum 60 students for undergraduate studies,
depending on its resources for teaching. Individuals wishing to study history as
undergraduates in the Department are required to have completed their lycee education
or its equivalent successfully and to have obtained enough points from the university
entrance exam. This exam is organized centrally and annually by the Student Selection
and Placement Centre and the students are placed by the same centre into departments
according to rank order of the points they have obtained. The undergraduate students
are not required to take any other exam before registering for study in the Department.
3.2- Admission Requirements for Masters Program
The Department organizes oral exam for the applicants to test the level of their
academic performance in historical theory, research methodology and their general
knowledge of historical issues. In addition to the History graduates, those holding
B.A. degrees in other fields of humanities and social sciences can apply for the postgraduate programs. Candidates should fulfil the requirements set by the Institute with
regard to ALES and Foreign Language exams. Provided that they pass the oral exam,
the department may ask those candidates with B.A. degrees from other fields to follow
a one-year preparatory class before starting the M.A. program.
3.3-Admission Requirements for Doctoral Program
The criteria set for acceptance for masters studies apply with some modification for
acceptance to doctoral studies in the Department. In addition to the students with M.A.
degrees in History, those holding M.A. degrees in other fields of humanities and social
sciences can apply for the post-graduate programs. Candidates should fulfil the
requirements set by the Institute with regard to ALES and Foreign Language exams.
Provided that they pass the oral exam, the department may ask those candidates with
M.A. degrees from other fields to take some courses from its M.A. program as well as
some non-credit B.A. and M.A. courses according to the field they wish to specialize
on.
IV-STUDENT ASSESSMENT METHODS AND GRADING SYSTEM
4.1-Student Assessment Methods
According to the university regulations, students’ academic performance for each
course must be assessed at a minimum twice during the term, and once soon after the
term ends, which is the final exam. The method, scope, time and the weight of
assessment are left to the lecturer to decide. The usual method of assessment is a
written exam with essay type questions. However, the lecturer may decide to give
take-homes or require the students to do seminar presentations, term papers or to write
assignments or research reports. Information about the method of assessment is given
in description of each course, provided later in this information package.
4.2-Grading System
The grading system as defined by the university regulations rests on points and their
equivalents in grades and academic scores. Though the same system applies for both
undergraduate and postgraduate studies, the passing grade is set differently, as shown
in the following charts. In addition, the grading system does not attach qualitative
labels (outstanding, excellent, very good, etc.) to the passing grades and their
equivalents in scores.

 C2, D1 or D2 grades taken from a course are considered successful on the condition that the
student has not failed in any course with grades F1, F2, F3 and K, which is taken in the same
semester. However, the students thus passed a course are permitted to repeat the same course
in order to increase their grades, in which case it is the last grade that counts.

V. STRUCTURE OF THE DEGREE PROGRAMS IN EFFECT
5.1-The Structure of the Undergraduate Program
The curriculum for undergraduate studies defines a single program based on course
work. These courses are of four types: university-wide compulsory courses,
departmental compulsory courses, compulsory foreign language courses, intradepartmental elective courses, extra-departmental elective courses.

The university common compulsory courses comprise those with course codes
AİT (Atatürk’s Principles and Revolutions),TKD (Turkish Language), and Foreign
Language. These courses have to be taken by all students registered with the
university and the credits gained are not included in the minimum total credits
required for graduation. However the students coming to the department within the
framework of Erasmus program are exempt from these courses. The students can
take exemption exams for foreign language courses and the successful students are
granted the full grades they obtained.

Departmental compulsory courses comprise those courses which are offered by
the Department and which all the undergraduate students must take in order to
graduate. There are 36 compulsory courses in the curriculum and this make up a
total of 97 credits.

Intra-departmental elective courses comprise 14 courses (29 credits) which are
offered by the Department itself and it is a must for the students to acquire a
minimum of 16 credits from these courses

Extra-departmental elective courses comprise a fixed list of courses which are in
fact offered by other departments to their own students but which history
undergraduates are permitted through an interdepartmental agreement to take as
electives. The students should take at least 15 credits among the 14 courses (40
credits) according to the framework set by the departmental guidelines.

Compulsory and Elective Foreign Language Courses
Starting from the academic year 2007-2008 the students, apart from the universitywide foreign language courses (English, French or German) for the first year, will
take one foreign language course each semester, totalling 18 credits (6 courses).
Besides, they may take elective foreign language courses (14 credits, 6 courses). In
the case of some elective courses they should meet the requirements set by the
High School for Foreign Languages
5.2-The Structure of the Postgraduate Studies
The degree programs for postgraduate studies combine course work with the writing
of a thesis. However, there are some differences between the structure and the
requirements of the masters and doctoral programs.


Masters program: The curriculum for masters studies comprises four compulsory
and a fixed list of elective courses. The students are required to acquire a total of
21 credits with a general average academic score of 2.5 (out of 4) from these
courses in the first year of their studies. Those who fail to do so may be granted an
extra year to improve their scores. With the approval of the head of their
supervisors and the head of Department, the students can take some or all of the
elective courses from other departments. In addition, graduates of
disciplines/departments other than history may be required to spend one or two
terms studying/taking a selected list of undergraduate courses before starting their
masters program. Upon completion of their course work, the students are required
to produce an original thesis based on genuine research. This is done under the
supervision of a member of the Department and the research project requires
approval of the Departmental Board. The thesis produced by the student must be
defended by himself/herself before a jury whose final decision rests on majority
vote.
Doctoral program: The curriculum for doctoral studies consists of elective
courses and the students are required to acquire a total of 24 credits with an
average score of 3.0 (out of 4) within the first two years of their studies. With the
approval of their supervisors and the head of Department, the students can take
some of the elective courses from other departments. Those who fail to complete
their course work in two years are dismissed immediately. Upon completion of
their course work, the students are required to take a doctoral proficiency exam
assessing the level of their performance in historical theory, research methods and
the theoretical and empirical issues related to the topic of their intended doctoral
research. Successful students are initially granted a two-year period to produce
their theses based on original research and making a genuine contribution either to
the advancement of science or to formulation of a social policy that may help to
cope with a significant social problem. At the end of each term, a doctoral review
committee consisting of the supervisor and two other members oversees the
progress that the student is making and may grant the satisfactory student an extra
two years to complete his/her work. The thesis produced by the student must be
defended by himself/herself before a jury whose decision rests on majority vote.
