Admission Requirements for Associate and Bachelor Programmes

Candidates endeavoring to enroll to an Associate and Bachelor programme at Tekirdağ Namık Kemal University should pass a two-stage examination carried by the Student Selection and Placement Center (OSYM). First, students take the Higher Education Entrance Examination (YGS). Those who pass the YGS (minimum 140 points out of 500) are then entitled to take the Placement Exam (LYS). The candidates who have the right to enroll in a program without an exam are exempt from this rule.

Candidates should obtain a score between 140.0 and 179.9 from LYS to enroll to an Associate or distance education programme. A minimum of 180 points is required for all Bachelor programmes. The overall score of the candidates are calculated together with the score which they obtain from YGS, LYS, and their cumulative grade point averages of the high school.

Candidates are accepted to the Faculty of Fine Arts, or the School of Physical Education & Sports, or the State Musical Conservatory according to the results of YGS and Special Aptitude Examination scores.

Potential students are required to obtain the necessary scores and fulfil the requirements as determined for the programme for which they apply.
