ADMISSION & REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS  

- KTU Senate's Decision dated 15.06.2021 and numbered 320/12 (The Senate Principles for Graduate Programs Application and Admission Conditions)

- KTU Graduate School of Social Sciences Graduate Programs Application Guidelines

- Students admitted to the program from outside the field are required to attend the Scientific Preparation Program and be successful in the courses determined based on their graduation status. 

OBJECTIVE of THE PROGRAMME  
At the Language and Literature PhD program the focus is on subjects relating language and English literature. Works of English literature in various genres such as drama, poetry and novel are approached with a critical point of view and discussed from various perspectives. The PhD programme aims at graduating Literature experts and Literature academicians capable of conducting independent research in the field of English Literature.
RECOGNATION of PRIOR LEARNING  
The "Directive on Recognition of Prior Learning", Senate Decision No. 340 issued on July 28, 2023, has been accepted and entered into force regarding the students registered in all programs of Karadeniz Technical University to determine the principles to be followed for the recognition, crediting, and adaptation of the achievements acquired by the students at non-university institutions.

In this Directive,

- recognition of knowledge, skills, and competencies acquired with special interest through an exemption exam to be substituted as program courses,
- recognition of workplace and internship experiences through portfolio evaluation to be substituted as program courses,
- and the crediting of certificates received from accredited institutions regarding students' special interests are covered.

Announcements of courses included in the scope of recognition of prior learning, applications, and evaluation will be made on the dates specified in the academic calendar. Recognition of prior learning will offer numerous benefits to our students and employers. For our students, increasing professional development and mobility in the labour market, preventing repetition of education and waste of time, providing early graduation, reducing the cost of learning, encouraging learning, and increasing the student's motivation and self-confidence can be counted among the benefits of recognition of prior learning. From the employers' perspectives, it will contribute to satisfying skill or competence deficiencies in the workplace, reducing the time employees spend outside the workplace for training purposes, and thus using resources more efficiently.
