Modular System

The English Preparatory Programme of Beykent University consists of six different contents covering levels from elementary to pre-advance. The content of each course is delivered in a module which lasts for eight weeks of instruction and assessment. You can continue to the next level provided you have successfully completed the relevant module at the end of eight weeks. In order to allow you to make up/complete the required level, a Summer Module is offered which is planned to last for 5 weeks of instruction and assessment. In the modular system, the courses may be delivered face-to-face and/or by means of blended learning conducted and supplemented through online platforms (synchronously) and digital platforms (asynchronously).

The programme has been designed to allow every student from all levels to complete their education by the end of the academic year, provided they have successfully completed each required level. Regular attendance and participation in academic studies play an important role in completing your education successfully. Attendance is compulsory in the English Preparatory Programme. If you exceed the absenteeism limit of 30 classes per module, then you are required to repeat the same level.  In order to continue to the next level, the weighted average of the quizzes taken throughout the module and the End of Module Exam must be 60 or above out of 100. Students whose average is below 60 need to repeat the same level.
