Application Conditions for Horizontal Transfer from Abroad

In horizontal transfer from higher education institutions abroad, students who have the base score for the relevant class of the diploma program to which the student wants to transfer at Piri Reis University can apply for horizontal transfer without requiring success in all courses in which they have taken higher education abroad. The horizontal transfer applications of students who apply in this way are evaluated outside the scope of the international horizontal transfer quota within the framework of the principles determined by the university senate.
In case of being registered at a university that is outside the first four hundred percentile;
Those who have completed their secondary education in Turkey must have taken the central placement exam in any case and have met the success ranking requirement in the relevant score type of the program for which success ranking is required as of the registration year,
Those who have completed at least the last two years of their secondary education abroad must have successfully completed at least four semesters of the diploma program they are enrolled in, excluding the preparatory class. e) Those who have equivalent exam scores accepted by the Council of Higher Education for YGS and LYS base scores must also meet the conditions in items (a) and (b).
For programs that do not require a success ranking; students who started their education at universities ranked in the top 500 in the QS and Times World Rankings as of the 2017-2018 academic year and who have successfully completed at least the second grade, excluding the preparatory class, can apply for horizontal transfer to the 3rd grade (3rd and 4th grades in those with a 5-year education period, and 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades in those with a 6-year education period). In associate degree programs, these students can apply for horizontal transfer to the third semester (second year).
Applications regarding registration procedures at higher education institutions and horizontal transfer procedures between higher education institutions specified in this directive must be made directly to Piri Reis University.
Students who transfer from a higher education institution abroad to Piri Reis University within this scope cannot benefit from scholarship/discount opportunities and are directly registered to fee-based programs/departments. (Additional phrase: Senate Article 2 dated 04.09.2024 and numbered 2024/14) However, a 10% discount is applied to female students who will study in the Marine Transportation Management, Ship Machinery Management, Marine and Port Management, Marina and Yacht Management and Mechatronics programs affiliated to our University’s Faculty of Maritime Studies or Maritime Vocational School.
