Frequently Asked Questions
You can get detailed information about these questions from the English Preparatory Program Student Handbook or the Bilgi Prep website.
1) Is one year enough to complete the English Prep Program?
If I start from level 1, can I manage to learn English within a year?
İstanbul BİLGİ University’s English Preparatory Program is designed in such a way that all successful students, regardless of their admission level at the beginning of the academic year, can complete the program by September. The program is designed in a way that students can complete the program within a year if they attend classes regularly, complete homework assignments and study frequently. Therefore, paying attention to the lessons and studying outside of class is very important.
2) Do you need to pay a tuition fee to attend summer school?
Students who started from level 1 (and have never failed) have earned the right to study level 5 in the summer, without paying a tuition payment. This is because summer school is part of their scheduled program. Other students must pay a tuition fee if they want to attend summer school because these students have failed in their levels once or more. Students who do not attend summer school can finish İstanbul BİLGİ University English Prep Program if they can get a 60 or higher from the BİLET exam which is given at the end of summer.
3) Where can I get documentation showing I am a Bilgi Student?
Students can request documentation showing that they are a Bilgi Student from the SIS page. Once the document is ready they can pick it up from the Student Affairs Office at the santralistanbul Campus.
