2. STUDY AND RESEARCH AT THE DEPARTMENT

2.1. Educational and Professional Goals
The Department, founded in 1965, is one of the earliest departments of the University and a
pioneering institution in the study of English language and literature in Turkey. The aim of
the Department is to study and conduct research on English language, literature and culture in
an interdisciplinary manner and to help its students acquire the qualities of a scientific
researcher. During the education students are presented theoretical and practical knowledge
through the use of the rich audio-visual sources of the Department. Conferences by well-
known researchers and talks and presentations by contemporary English/Turkish writers and
poets as well as Department staff enrich Department’s education. Those graduates who
receive teaching certificates may become English teachers or lecturers in many state and
private schools and universities. Graduates are also able to find jobs which require cultural
and literary knowledge, such as those in tourism, ministries, banks, state and private media
institutions, or even become translators, writers or editors. The medium of instruction of all
programmes offered by the Department is English.

2.2. Student Numbers:

Undergraduate Students 452
MA Students 25
PhD Students 9

2.3. Major Fields of Study and Research

c) MA Programme in British Cultural Studies minimum 4 semesters d) PhD
Programme in British Cultural Studies minimum 8 semesters
3. ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS

3.1. Entrance Requirements for Undergraduate Studies
The Department accepts each year a maximum of 80 students for undergraduate studies,
depending on its resources for teaching. Individuals wishing to study English language and
literatrure as undergraduates in the Department are required to have completed their lycee
education or its equivalent successfully and to have obtained enough points from the
university entrance exam. This exam is organized centrally and annually by the Student
Selection and Placement Centre (ÖSYM) and the students are placed by the same centre into
departments according to rank order of the points they have obtained. The undergraduate
students are not required to take any other exam before registering for study in the
Department.

3.2. Entrance Requirements for Masters Studies
Entrance to graduate master studies in the Department is conditional upon the satisfaction of

several criteria. The Department organizes both written and oral exam for the applicants to
test the level of their academic performance in English language, literature and culture and
their general awareness of current issues. However, only those holding a bachelors degree can
apply for postgraduate masters studies in the Department. These individuals are required to
have obtained a minimum of 45 points from the Graduate Study Exam (LES), and the
minimum grades specified by the Institute of Social Sciences from the foreign language
proficiency exam(s). Individuals who fail to provide documentary proof of the level of their
proficiency in the English language can take the foreign language exam organized by the
University or they may be granted one year of leave to improve their knowledge of a foreign
language in programmes organized again by the University, provided that they have passed
the Departmental written/oral entrance exam.

3.3. Entrance Requirements for Doctoral Studies
The criteria set for acceptance for masters studies apply with some modification for
acceptance to doctoral studies in the Department. Only individuals holding a masters degree
can apply for doctoral studies in the Department. These individuals are again required to have
obtained a minimum of 45 points from Graduate Study Exam (LES), and passing grades from
the foreign language proficiency exam(s) in a second foreign language (German, French, or
Italian).

4. STUDENT ASSESSMENT METHODS AND GRADING SYSTEM

4.1. Student Assessment Methods
Undergraduate students’ performance is graded on the basis of at least two midterms and a
final examination. The midterms and additional in-term assignments (research papers, oral
presentations and quizzes) have a 50% weight in the evaluation, while the final examination
has the other 50% weight. In compliance with the University’s statutes, graduate students
(both MA and PhD), while taking pre-thesis required courses, have to sit for 2 mid-terms and
a final examination for each course they take. Additionally, each student is required to present
minimum 2 research papers and other work required by the course instructor. Moreover, PhD
students have, before a committee of 5 full professors, to take a comprehensive qualification
examination (both written and oral) upon their completion of the required total credits before
they proceed to the writing of the thesis, which may take more than 4 semesters.

4.2. Grading System
The grading system as defined by the University regulations rests on points and their
equivalents in grades and academic scores. Though the same system applies for both
undergraduate and graduate studies, the passing grade is set differently, as shown in the
following charts. In addition, the grading system does not attach qualitative labels
(outstanding, excellent, very good, etc.) to the passing grades and their equivalents in scores.

Grading System for Undergraduate Studies
Points Grade Score Result
90-100 A1 4.0 Successful 85-89 A2 3.5 Successful 75-84 B1
3.0 Successful 70-74 B2 2.5 Successful 65-69 C1 2.0

Failed because of absenteeism, does not
have the right to
enter the final exam G Successful in a non-credit course K
Failed in a non-credit courses H Has legitimate excuse for not attending the
final
examination M Exempt from the
course concerned
∗ C2, D1 or D2 grades taken from a course are considered successful on the condition that the
student general academic degree is 1.8. Students who have the general academic degr less
than 1.8 for two times repeatedly must review the whole year. However, the students thus
passed a course are permitted to repeat the same course in order to increase their grades, in
which case it is the last grade that counts.

90-100 A1 4.0 Successful, (both masters and Ph.D students)

5. STRUCTURE OF THE DEGREE PROGRAMMES IN EFFECT

5.1. The Structure of the Undergraduate Programme
The curriculum for undergraduate studies defines a single programme based on course work.
These courses are of four types: university common compulsory courses, departmental
compulsory courses, intra-departmental elective courses and extradepartmental elective
courses.

a) University common compulsory courses comprise those with course codes AİT
(Atatürk’s Principles and Revolutions), TKD (Turkish Language), and Foreign Language.
The first two sets of these courses have to be taken by all students registered with the

university and the credits gained are not included in the minimum total credits required for
graduation. The foreign language courses (English, French or German) have to be taken by all
students at the preparatory year and the credits gained are included in the minimum total
credits required for graduation. However, the students can take exemption exams for each
course and the successful students are granted the full grades they obtained. Erasmus
exchange students are exempt from these foreign language courses.

b) Departmental compulsory courses comprise those courses which are offered by the
Department and which all the undergraduate students must take in order to graduate. There
are some compulsory courses in the present curriculum which yield a total of 88 credits.

c) Departmental elective courses comprise those courses which are in the Department’s
courses catalogue but may not be offered every academic year.

d) Extra-departmental elective courses comprise a fixed list of courses which are in fact
offered by other departments to their own students but which English language and literature
undergraduates are permitted through an interdepartmental agreement to take as electives. It is
entirely left to the students to take any of the courses thus determined. The Department
actively encourages the students to adopt an interdisciplinary approach in their studies with a
view for their future professional career and academic interests.

5.2. The Structure of the Graduate Programmes
The degree programmes for graduate studies combine course work with the writing of a
thesis. However, there are some differences between the structure and the requirements of the
masters and doctoral programmes.

a) Masters studies: For an MA student, to receive the degree of MA in English Language and
Literature or British Cultural Studies, s/he must take minimum seven courses (equivalent of
minimum 21 credits, ) in the relevant programme over a period of 2 semesters (usually 4
courses in Autumn and 3 in Spring) plus a non-credit seminar course on a special subject
related to the student’s prospective thesis. Upon the completion of the 21-credit preliminary
courses, the student is required to submit, under his/her supervisor’s advice, a thesis proposal
which is reviewed and evaluated by the Department Academic Council and, if approved, sent
to the Institute. The thesis must be completed over a period of 2 semesters (if needed this
period can be extended up to 2 semesters), and, upon the completion of the thesis and in
compliance with the regulations, the student submits the thesis for a viva. The thesis is then
evaluated by a committee of 5 examiners (at least one of them is an external examiner),
proposed by the Academic Council of the Department and appointed by the Academic
Administrative Council of the Institute. If the examiners approve of the thesis and accept it,
the student is admitted to a viva and, upon his/her successful performance, is recommended
by the examiners to the Institute for the conferment of the degree of MA.

b) Doctoral studies: For a PhD student, to receive the degree of PhD in English Language
and Literature or in British Cultural Studies, s/he must preliminarily take minimum seven
courses (equivalent of minimum 21 credits) over a period of three semesters in the relevant
programme and fulfil all the academic requirements. Upon the successful completion of these
courses, the student is then required to take a comprehensive written and oral examination
conducted by a committee of 5 examiners, at least one of whom is external. If the student
passes this examination, s/he is then required to submit a thesis proposal prepared under the
guidance of his/her supervisor, which s/he must defend before a committee of 3 members

including the supervisor and acting as the Thesis Supervision Committee. Upon the
acceptance by the committee of the proposal, the student proceeds with the thesis research and
writing, which takes minimum 4 semesters (extendable for 4 semesters). Upon the
completions of the thesis, a committee of 5 examiners, at least one of whom is external, is
appointed by the Institute’s Academic Administrative Council upon the recommendations of
the Department’s Academic Council. Each examiner independently reads and evaluates the
thesis and prepares a detailed report for joint evaluation prior to the viva. At the joint
evaluation session the examiners discuss the individual reports and reach a joint resolution
which may be “Accepted” or “to be revised” or “rejected”. If the examiners accept the thesis
and approve of its academic quality, they then admit the student to a viva which usually lasts
over an hour and comprises a wide range of questions related to the thesis and its relevant
subjects. If the examiners find the student successful in the viva they recommend him/her to
the Institute for the conferment of the degree of PhD.
