Horizontal transfer procedures are carried out in accordance with the "Ankara Medipol University Horizontal Transfer Directive" adopted by our University Senate, pursuant to the provisions of the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) "Regulation on the Principles of Transfer Between Associate and Undergraduate Programs, Double Major and Minor Programs, and Inter-Institutional Credit Transfer in Higher Education Institutions".
Inter-institutional horizontal transfer can be carried out in two ways:
Horizontal Transfer Based on Central Placement Score (Additional Article 1):
Students whose central placement score in the year of their enrollment is equal to or higher than the minimum score of the target degree program in that year may apply to preparatory, intermediate, associate degree or undergraduate programs. Under Additional Article 1, students have the right to transfer to the same or a different department. Only one horizontal transfer may be made under this article; however, students who transfer may return, in subsequent application periods, to their former institution where they had gained the right to enroll through central placement.
Inter-Institutional Horizontal Transfer Based on Academic Achievement:
Students wishing to transfer to our university from other higher education institutions in Türkiye or abroad must have a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of at least 60 out of 100 for the semesters completed in their current program.
Important Note: Horizontal transfer based on academic achievement is not permitted into the preparatory year of associate and undergraduate programs, the first and last semesters of associate degree programs, or the first two and last two semesters of undergraduate programs. The above requirements may be amended by the "University Senate".
For all other details regarding the process, please refer to the Horizontal Transfer Directive on our website.

Transfer to Programs Admitting Students with a Different Score Type:

The Diploma Supplement (DS) is a standard document issued in addition to a higher education diploma that facilitates the international academic and professional recognition of the diploma.
The Diploma Supplement provides a detailed description of the structure, level and content of the education received and of the studies successfully completed by the graduate. By bridging the differences between education systems, it clearly presents the graduate's competences. (It does not replace the diploma, but makes the content and quality of the diploma easier to understand.)
The document follows a common template developed by the European Commission, the Council of Europe and UNESCO/CEPES. Also known as the "Blue Diploma" label, this document ensures the international transparency and recognition of the diploma in post-graduation applications for study and employment abroad.
Graduates of our university are presented with the Diploma Supplement together with their diplomas.
