The English Preparatory Program

GENERAL INFORMATION

Our students take the GTU PROFICIENCY EXAM after they are admitted to our university. Those who fail to pass the exam with a minimum of 60 points (CC) out of 100 must attend our one-year English preparatory program.  

Those who need to attend the preparatory program take the Placement Test and are placed into classes according to their level of English (Level A, B and C)

Preparatory Class education lasts for one year and contents and materials are prepared in line with the program objectives.

Students are required to sit several exams in each semester. These exams may vary depending on the updated educational outcomes; therefore, they are announced to our students at the beginning of each academic year.

Minimum attendance requirement is 85% for each level. Absence is limited to one semester, and absences not used within that semester are not carried over to the next semester. Those who exceed the maximum hours of absence lose the right to take both the exams within a semester and the PROFICIENCY EXAM at the end of the semester. They can only take the PROFICIENCY EXAMS in the following semesters.

After registering at our university, our students can take the PROFICIENCY exam held in September without any conditions. However, to be able to take the June PROFICIENCY exam held within the academic year, students must have a total average grade of 65 and above for both semesters and not exceed the absence limit. The weights of the exams conducted in the first and second semesters in calculating the end-of-academic-year average are 40% for the fall semester and 60% for the spring semester.
