Information Regarding the Undergraduate Program in Data Science and Analytics

Dear Students,

As of the Fall Semester of the 2025–2026 Academic Year, the undergraduate program in Data Science and Analytics is planned to begin admitting students. Final approval from the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) is currently pending.

Since admissions have not yet been initiated due to the current declaration period, the “Data Science and Analytics” program does not appear among program preferences and cannot accept double major applications in the system at this time.

In this context, students who:

     - Intend to choose “Data Science and Analytics” as their major,

     - Plan to pursue a double major with “Data Science and Analytics,”

     - Wish to change their current diploma program to “Data Science and Analytics,”

are required to submit their applications during the Summer Term of the 2024–2025 Academic Year, within the dates specified in the academic calendar (July 24 – August 1, 2025). Eligible students will be placed into the program as of the Fall Semester of the 2025–2026 Academic Year.

Students who have already been enrolled in a diploma program must apply for a program change through internal transfer. Internal transfers must be completed by the 4th semester at the latest (summer terms are not included in semester counting!). Applications made in or after the 5th semester will be evaluated according to the provisions of Additional Article 1 of the YÖK Regulation on undergraduate transfers. We would like to remind you that students are permitted to change their program only once through the internal transfer process.

Therefore, we strongly recommend that students intending to transfer to the “Data Science and Analytics” program complete their applications during the Summer Term, rather than the Spring Term, in order to avoid losing their eligibility for internal transfer. Please also carefully review the visual guide provided below.

Additionally, students who have already submitted their program preferences during the ongoing major declaration, internal transfer, and double major application period (which began on April 28, 2025) and wish to cancel a preference in order to apply for the “Data Science and Analytics” program must contact the Student Resources Unit by the end of business on May 9, 2025.
