The dual degree program is an opportunity that allows students who have successfully completed their undergraduate studies to take courses concurrently in a second undergraduate program of their choice and earn a degree from that program as well.

For programs that require a specific academic ranking, students wishing to apply for a dual degree must meet the academic ranking criteria established by the Higher Education Council for the relevant program as of the year of their enrollment, in addition to the other conditions specified in the relevant Regulation.

Students in a four-year major program may apply for a double major program as early as the beginning of the third semester and no later than the beginning of the fifth semester, provided they meet certain requirements. To apply, the student must have successfully completed all courses in their major program, have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.00 on a 4.0 scale, and rank in the top 20% of their class in the major program. If a student’s cumulative GPA is 3.00 or higher but their academic ranking does not place them in the top 20%, students whose qualifications align with the admission requirements and type of the program they are applying to may also apply.

A minor program is a program that allows students to earn a certificate by taking courses in another undergraduate program of their interest in addition to their primary undergraduate degree.

Applications for a minor may be submitted starting from the beginning of the third semester of the four-year major undergraduate program, and students must have met the necessary requirements by the start of the sixth semester at the latest. To apply, students must have successfully completed all courses up to the relevant semester and have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.50 in their major program.

Application, admission, and continuation requirements for dual major and minor programs are governed by the “Regulation on the Principles Governing Transfers Between Associate and Bachelor’s Degree Programs, Dual Majors, Minors, and Inter-Institutional Credit Transfers at Higher Education Institutions” and the “Cyprus Aydın University Dual Major and Minor Program Guidelines.”

Students enrolled at Cyprus Aydın University are eligible for scholarships from their primary departments in dual major and minor programs.
