In line with its mission to contribute to the achievement of the sustainable development goals and to excellence in social impact, BAU is opening its resources to Ukrainian students displaced by the war. University students affected and displaced by the war in Ukraine will be offered free education at BAU so that they can continue their studies. Students who wish to study or continue their university education as guest students will be able to study free of charge during the spring semester.
As the war launched by Russia against Ukraine continues, thousands of students, particularly Turkish students pursuing their university education in Ukraine, have been affected. While Ukrainian citizens are reported to be heading toward neighboring borders, thousands of people, including children, continue to suffer the consequences of the war. Bahçeşehir University has announced that it will provide free university education to Turkish students studying in Ukraine and to Ukrainian students holding EU passports. This support, offered by the university to help students overcome the hardships of war and continue their education without interruption, will remain available throughout the spring semester.
TURKISH STUDENTS AND UKRAINIAN STUDENTS WITH EU PASSPORTS AFFECTED BY THE WAR WILL BE ABLE TO BENEFIT
Students accepted by the university as special students with guest status will be provided with free university education for one semester to help them overcome their hardships. Some details of the program are as follows: the admission of guest students and the courses they will take will be determined upon the recommendation of the relevant academic department/program and the approval of the relevant dean's office/directorate. In addition, students studying under this special status will be given a document stating the courses they have taken and their grades. Applications will be evaluated by the relevant department/program chair and finalized by the executive board of the academic unit applied to.
For students to be admitted as special students to graduate programs, their admission and the courses they will take at the institute will be determined upon the recommendation of the relevant department chair/coordinator of the institute and the decision of the institute executive board. These students will also be given a document on the courses they have taken and their performance. Students who meet the necessary requirements and are admitted to a graduate program may transfer up to four graduate courses that they took and passed as special students at the university to the program in which they are enrolled, upon the proposal of the relevant department coordinator of the institute and the decision of the institute executive board.
Information on the special student application published by Bahçeşehir University can be accessed at www.aday.bau.edu.tr/misafir and via the email address misafir@bau.edu.tr.
