Overview

Key facts

Only one third of the applicants at the master's level have been accepted to the programs, as a measure to increase the quality of the graduate studies.The Political Science and International Relations program is offered at Yeditepe University.

The curriculum not only embraces an interdisciplinary approach but also allows room for specialization through elective courses. The courses are designed beyond the classic lecture format so that students can actively participate in classes through presentations, discussions, projects and so forth. Besides, the curriculum is being reshaped in accordance with the responses we hear from the advisory board of the department, which was established as part of Bologna process and includes some prominent members of public and private sector in Turkey. The board has already begun to play a role of mediator between the department and the general public.

To complete the program, students are required to take a total of 120 ECTS. After successful completion of the required course work, students will be expected to conduct research and write an MA thesis based on their findings. Students generally finish their course work in the first year and their research in the second year. Students, who are not working on a thesis, are required to take three additional courses demanding extensive research.
