English Language Requirement at IUE

The medium of instruction at the Izmir University of Economics (IUE) is English. All newly admitted students (graduate, undergraduate, vocational school, transfer, and special students) have to verify that their English proficiency levels are adequate to follow the mainstream courses offered in our University. Students can take the English Proficiency Exam prepared and administered by the School of Foreign Languages, IUE, or alternatively may submit the results of the following national or international examinations which are accepted by IUE. Transfer students who have successfully completed English preparatory programs or been exempted from such programs should submit their documents to IUE to be evaluated and approved by the Directorate of SFL. Students who fail to meet the English language requirement at IUE have to attend the English Preparatory Program.

Acceptable foreign language exams and scores for applications to postgraduate programmes at the Graduate School and for applications as research assistants, lecturers, instructors and other academic staff at academic units are given in the table below:

(*) Students who are admitted to Turkish-medium programmes are exempt from foreign language requirement.
