MA and PhD Graduate Programs

Bilkent University's Department of History offers graduate studies at
M.A. and Ph.D. level in the areas of Ottoman, European and the U.S.A.
history.  Founded in 1993, the department boasts an international
faculty trained at leading universities in Europe, North America and
Turkey.
Each year we accept up to 25 students to our programs. The application
deadline is 6th June 2008. Interviews will be held on 13th and 14th June
2008.
An undergraduate degree in history is NOT a prerequisite for entering
the M.A. program. Graduates of departments of social sciences,
humanities, management, engineering, and science may apply. However, all
students entering the graduate program in history must take one year of
preparatory courses before they begin Master's level course work.
To enter the Ph.D. program candidates are required to have completed an
M.A. degree in History or a related field.
All students who are accepted to the department are normally given
bursaries, which include a tuition waiver and a monthly cash bursary.
Students from outside of Ankara are also offered a place in shared
graduate dormitory room.
