| NOTES | ||||||
| 1) In accordance with the Senate decision dated 16.06.2017 regarding trilingual education, it is required to have at least B2 level language proficiency in each of Turkish, English and Arabic as a graduation requirement in all departments of our University. a- The Course Plan of the Political Science and International Relations Undergraduate Program is arranged in such a way that students can take 4 semesters of Arabic language courses in order to meet these requirements. Students will only be allowed to enroll in the language course appropriate to their level through placement exams organized by the School of Languages. b- Students who have the required level of language proficiency or who are able to achieve this proficiency before 4 semesters will take the departmental elective courses specified in the course plan instead of the Arabic courses coded ARA 301, ARA 302, ARA 303, ARA 304. |

| 3) For graduation from the Politics and International Relations undergraduate program, at least four (4) elective courses must be taken from among the Department's elective courses.
