Amendment to Ege University Graduate Education Regulation
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This regulation changes Ege University’s graduate education rules in two targeted areas: admission to certain priority-field PhD programs and time extensions for graduate students who give birth. For PhD programs in priority fields identified by the Higher Education Council, student selection will follow Council-set quotas and procedures. Turkish citizens will be selected under the rules used for central and entrance exams for non-faculty academic staff appointments, while foreign students will follow procedures set by the Higher Education Council. Graduate female students who give birth may request up to two extra semesters after childbirth, and this added time will not count against their maximum study period.
