Eligibility
Academic Requirements
Secondary-School Requirement (Main)
- Completed secondary-school education is required; Bangladeshi applicants should submit SSC and HSC or equivalent certificates with full transcripts
- The programme page requires marks above 50% in each academic year and in the final examination
Note
Admission is selective. Meeting the academic and English thresholds does not guarantee an offer; the final decision is based on the complete application and online assessment.
Tests
Standardized Test Requirement
No SAT or ACT is listed. The required assessment is METU’s online interview and programme-specific discussion; applicants may be asked about contemporary international affairs and global politics.
Language
English Proficiency Requirements
| Test | Overall Score | Minimum per Band |
|---|---|---|
| IELTS Academic | 5.5+ | Not specified |
| TOEFL iBT | 69+ | Not specified |
| Cambridge English | FCE or CAE | Not specified |
Notes
- Intermediate English is required. METU publishes IELTS 5.5+ or TOEFL iBT 69+ as equivalent levels; separate minimum band scores are not stated.
- A language certificate is not compulsory. Every applicant must demonstrate English during the online interview, and a certificate does not override an insufficient interview result.
Waiver: Possible, subject to university assessment.
Funding
Scholarships
No programme-specific scholarship is advertised for International Relations BA. METU may offer intake-based discounts, but the published Fall 2026 Early Bird deadline has passed. The current METU Stipendium Hungaricum page lists selected creative programmes and does not list this course; all funding must be confirmed separately.
