Why should students attend the English Preparatory Program even if it is optional?

The English Preparatory Program is optional for students studying at the Vocational School of Health Services, the Vocational School and some departments of the Faculty of Health Sciences. However, attending the English Preparatory Program offered at our campuses, either in Turkey or abroad, will undeniably have many benefits for the students studying in these programs. These benefits can be summarised as follows:

• Students who attend and successfully complete the English Preparatory Program will be in great demand in their sectors when they combine the English they have learned with their academic and vocational  studies and training,
• They take advantage of the opportunity of attending the English Preparatory Program at our campuses abroad: Washington DC in the USA or Toronto in Canada,     
• Students who have successfully completed the English Preparatory Program and are  studying at the Faculty of Health Sciences may apply to double major degree or minor degree programs where the medium of instruction is English, and are not required to attend the English Preparatory Program again,
• Students who have successfully completed the English Preparatory Program and a 2-year associate degree program, will not be required to attend the English Preparatory Program again when they apply to Bahçeşehir Üniversitesi and take the external transfer exam (DGS), in the same year.
• Students who would like to participate in study abroad programs, such as Erasmus and World Exchange, will be one step closer to passing the English Proficiency Exam, as well as being one step ahead of others in their academic and social life when using their foreign language skills, in the countries they are visiting, 
• When these students apply to companies for internship, they will have an advantage over others because they know English, and are bound to be preferred.
