The following questions and answers have been prepared in accordance with the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) Regulations on Graduate Education and Training and AGÜ Graduate Education, Training and Examination Regulations. For more details and additional information, please refer to the Regulations.
Can I take undergraduate courses in a graduate program?
A maximum of two (2) courses may be selected from undergraduate programs, provided that the student has not taken these courses during their undergraduate education and the course content is deemed appropriate. These courses can only be taken with the approval of the advisor and the department head. If the ECTS credits of the selected undergraduate course are lower than those of the graduate courses, additional courses must be taken before the end of the term to complete the total ECTS requirement. This must be monitored by the student. Courses taken from undergraduate programs are not counted toward course load or credit requirements in doctoral programs.
Can I take graduate-level courses offered at other higher education institutions as part of my graduate program?
In master’s programs, a maximum of two (2) graduate-level courses that are delivered 100% in English at other higher education institutions may be taken with the recommendation of the department head and the approval of the Graduate School Executive Board. In doctoral programs, students admitted with a master's degree may take up to two (2) such courses, and students enrolled in integrated doctoral programs (admitted with a bachelor's degree) may take up to four (4) such courses, with the same approvals.
Can I count graduate-level courses I took before enrolling in a graduate program at AGÜ?
A maximum of three (3) graduate-level courses taken 100% in English from other universities and successfully completed may be counted, subject to the recommendation of the Department Program Committee and the approval of the Graduate School Executive Board.
Can undergraduate students take courses from graduate programs?
Undergraduate students who wish to take courses from graduate programs must have a minimum GPA of 2.75 and have earned at least 150 ECTS credits. In addition, no more than five (5) undergraduate students may be enrolled in any graduate-level course.
