Continue your academic journey seamlessly by taking graduate-level courses while completing your undergraduate studies.
The Integrated Master’s Program (IMP) enables successful undergraduate students to take graduate-level courses while continuing their undergraduate studies, enabling a smooth transition into graduate studies.
The program aims to facilitate a fast and efficient transition to a master’s degree upon completion of the undergraduate program. Graduate-level courses taken during undergraduate studies are evaluated through a credit transfer process after final enrollment in the master’s program. This allows students to begin their academic development earlier and plan their overall educational journey more effectively.
You may apply as early as the beginning of your seventh semester, provided that your cumulative GPA is 3.00 or above and that you have no disciplinary record.
Your application is evaluated by the relevant Department based on the results of the Scientific Evaluation Examination (SEE).
Once admitted, you may take a minimum of one (1) and a maximum of two (2) graduate courses per semester. These courses are recorded on your undergraduate transcript as non-credit courses.
Following graduation from your undergraduate program, you complete your final enrollment in the master’s program and transfer the graduate-level courses you have successfully completed.
• TIME ADVANTAGE
You can begin your master’s studies while still an undergraduate student and reach your academic goals in a shorter period of time.
• SEAMLESS TRANSITION
You follow a planned and integrated academic path from undergraduate to graduate education without interruption.
• LOW RISK
Courses taken within the scope of the IMP are recorded as non-credit courses and are not included in your undergraduate GPA or ECTS calculations.
• EARLY RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
By taking graduate-level courses, you become familiar with research culture at an early stage and establish a strong foundation for an academic career.
• ACADEMIC ADVISING
Your Department Chair and IMP advisor guide you in course selection and semester planning.
• CREDIT TRANSFER
Graduate-level courses completed during your undergraduate studies may be transferred to your graduate program after final enrollment.
Applications for the IMP are accepted annually within the periods specified in the academic calendar. For current application and examination dates, please consult the academic calendar.

Q: When can I apply to the IMP?
A: You may apply to the Integrated Master’s Program as early as the beginning of your seventh semester. Applications are accepted within the periods specified in the academic calendar.

Have completed and successfully passed all courses from previous semesters/academic years in your undergraduate program;
Have a cumulative GPA (CGPA) of at least 3.00;
Have no disciplinary sanctions;
Meet the minimum ALES and foreign language requirements of the program to which you are applying.
Q: Which master’s programs can I apply to?
A: The master’s programs available to undergraduate students are determined by the Graduate School Executive Board (GSEB) upon the recommendation of the relevant Department. Eligible programs based on your undergraduate field of study are announced separately.
Q: How is my application evaluated?
A: Applications are evaluated by the relevant Department in accordance with the procedures specified in the regulations. Candidates are admitted based on their scores in the Scientific Evaluation Examination (SEE). Lists of admitted and waitlisted students are announced within the period specified in the academic calendar following approval by the GSEB.
Q: How are quotas determined?
A: For each master’s program, the quota allocated under the IMP is determined by the Senate upon the recommendation of the Graduate School Board and may not exceed 20% of the quota of the relevant graduate program. Quotas are announced to students accordingly.
Q: How many graduate courses can I take each semester?
A: Students admitted to the program may take a minimum of one (1) and a maximum of two (2) graduate courses per semester. For master’s programs that include a scientific preparatory program, preparatory courses are also counted within this quota.
Q: Will the graduate courses I take affect my undergraduate GPA?
A: No. Graduate-level courses taken under this program during your undergraduate studies are recorded on your undergraduate transcript as “non-credit” and are not included in your undergraduate GPA or ECTS calculations.
Q: What are the requirements for final enrollment in the master’s program?
A: Following graduation, you must:
Have a GPA of at least 3.00/4.00 (equivalent to 75/100);
Meet the ALES and foreign language requirements applicable during the admission period;
Complete your undergraduate degree (excluding preparatory education) within eight semesters;
Complete your final enrollment at the Graduate School during the first semester following graduation.
Q: Will the courses I take during my undergraduate studies count toward my master’s degree?
A: Yes. Courses completed under the IMP during your undergraduate studies are subject to a credit transfer process after your final enrollment in the master’s program. Credit transfer is carried out upon the student’s application, the recommendation of the relevant Department, and approval by the GSEB.
Q: Who will be my advisor?
A: Graduate advising for IMP students is provided by the relevant Department/Division Chair. Your IMP advisor guides you in course selection, semester planning, and curriculum alignment. After your transition to the graduate program, an academic advisor is appointed in accordance with the University’s Graduate Education and Teaching Regulations.
Q: What happens if I cannot complete final enrollment in the master’s program?
A: For IMP students who do not complete final enrollment in a master’s program, the credits earned through the program are documented separately and are not counted toward undergraduate graduation requirements.
Q: How are scholarships and financial opportunities determined?
A: Conditions regarding admission, scholarships, and other financial or academic opportunities are determined separately through the standard graduate admissions process conducted after undergraduate graduation.
