The following documents must be scanned and uploaded to the system during the online application. Candidates must have the originals of the uploaded documents with them during the scientific evaluation exam.

2. Transcript: Document showing undergraduate courses and grades for master's applications (Original documents along with their Turkish translations approved by sworn translation agencies, a notary public, or Turkish Foreign Representative Offices).

3. School Recognition Certificate: A diploma equivalency certificate is not required for the admission of international student candidates to graduate programs. A school recognition certificate confirming that the undergraduate institution they graduated from is recognized by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) is sufficient. They can obtain this online from the Council of Higher Education website (https://okultanima.yok.gov.tr/).

4. Certificate of Turkish Proficiency (e.g., TÖMER…): In order to enroll in graduate programs where the medium of instruction is Turkish, international students must document their Turkish language proficiency. The Turkish language requirement is not sought for international students who graduated from a Turkish-medium program at a Higher Education Institution in Turkey. To start their graduate education, other candidates must possess a document certifying they know Turkish at a minimum of B2 level, obtained from Turkish proficiency exams such as TÖMER, DİLMER, or TYS. This score requirement may be increased upon the request of the respective departments. Candidates who do not have a Turkish proficiency certificate at the minimum B2 level from exams like TÖMER, DİLMER, or TYS will be subjected to a Turkish proficiency exam held by the university. Candidates who successfully achieve the B2 level are admitted to the program and begin their classes. Those who fail are directed to the Alanya University Turkish preparatory program for a maximum of two years, on the condition that they obtain a B2 level Turkish proficiency certificate by the end of this period. The registrations of international graduate student candidates who also fail the Turkish proficiency education will be terminated at the end of the two years. (Students must submit a petition to study in the preparatory program and sign an undertaking to provide the proficiency certificate by the end of the term).

5. Foreign Language Certificate: International students who will enroll in graduate programs where the medium of instruction is entirely English must document their language proficiency for the registered program. The foreign language proficiency requirement is not sought for candidates who graduated from undergraduate or graduate programs in countries where English is the native or official language, provided the medium of instruction of their graduated program was the same as the program they are enrolling in (English). Candidates who cannot submit any of these documents will be subjected to the foreign language exam held by the university. Candidates scoring 55 and above in this exam are considered successful, admitted to the program, and begin their classes. Those who fail are directed to Alanya University foreign language preparatory programs for a maximum of two years. The registrations of international graduate student candidates who also fail the foreign language preparatory education will be terminated at the end of the two years. (Students must submit a petition to study in the preparatory program and sign an undertaking to provide the proficiency certificate by the end of the term).
