Other requirements

At least 2 reference(s) must be provided. A motivation letter must be added to your application. One of the most important parts of your application is the motivation letter. Its goal is to introduce your background and support your application. In short, its goal is to answer the question: “Why are you a suitable candidate?” Write in a clear and logical manner: remember, the way you write and present yourself says a lot about you. Do not plagiarize as this will mean automatic disqualification from the evaluation process. Some points that may help you answer this question: Why have I chosen to apply to this programme? What do I expect to gain from my studies? Why does my academic and personal background make me a suitable candidate for this programme and for Koç University (potential for success, demonstrated qualities and skills)? Why is Koç University a good choice for me as an individual? Mandatory application documents 1- An international standard university admission exam score or an international diploma grade Please refer to the Acceptable Exams and Diplomas and Minimum Eligibility Scores and Grades section for details. It is not sufficient to have proficiency in English for admission. Applicants are expected to provide one of the eligible exams or diplomas listed in Acceptable Exams and Diplomas and Minimum Eligibility Scores and Grades. Exam scores older than 2 years at the time of application will not be accepted. There is no time limitation on diploma grades. 2- Official High School Diploma (if available at the time of submission) 3- Official high school transcripts (or predicted high school GPA) 4- English language proficiency exam score Since English is the medium of instruction at Koç University, you should demonstrate competence in the language by submitting one of the Eligible English Proficiency Exam Score reports and sharing the electronic scores for verification. Students who submit a valid English Proficiency Exam Result and/or students who completed the last 3 years of high school education in a country where the official language is English (as recognized by the Turkish Higher Education authorities) will be exempted from attending the English Language Center (ELC) and will directly begin their undergraduate courses.
