Students who are enrolled in departments other than those with a compulsory preparatory program are required to take General İngilizce I-II courses in their first year. Students with sufficient knowledge of English may take the General English Exemption Exam, and if they pass, they may be exempted from these courses.

Attendance is not compulsory. Students who wish to take the exam must log in with their university-provided institutional e-mail accounts and complete the application form by 12 September 2025.
