English Preparatory Program at Toros University
Since the departments of the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Economics, Administrative and Social Sciences of Toros University offer 100% or 30% foreign language education, undergraduate students in these departments must successfully complete the one-year Compulsory Preparatory Program. Participation in the Preparatory Program is optional for students of the Faculty of Fine Arts, Design and Architecture, School of Health Sciences and Vocational School.
At the beginning of each academic year, a Foreign Language Proficiency Exam is held on the day, time and place to be announced by the Rectorate. Students who cannot prove that they know the language in which they will receive education and training at a sufficient level with documents accepted by the university are taken to the English proficiency exam given by the English Preparatory School (Sample exam is in the Preparatory School section of our website).
Students who score 60 out of 100 in the proficiency exam are considered successful. Students who are not successful in the proficiency exam may attend the English Preparatory School for a maximum of two academic years. There is also an optional summer semester program. Newly enrolled students who score 59 out of 100 and below in the Foreign Language Proficiency Exam must take the Placement Exam. After studying in the Foreign Language Preparatory Program, students who are not successful in the Proficiency Exam may take the Placement Exam again.
in order to be exempt from the Preparatory Program; undergraduate students and associate degree (Vocational School) students who are considering vertical transfer must score 60 (sixty) out of 100 (one hundred) points from the English Proficiency Exam. In addition, students who get enough points from the following internationally recognized exams accepted by our university are also exempted from the English Preparatory Program.
