OSTİM Technical University offers one of the best and high quality preparatory programs to our students with its experienced academic staff. Our aim in foreign language education, which is an integral part of quality higher education with its academic and social function, is to enable students to continue their undergraduate programs in English, to be able to follow the professional literature in English and to ensure that students have access to the latest developments in their fields. In the preparatory school, our students follow a modular (Pre-A1, A1, A2, B1, B2) education program based on internationally accepted criteria established by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
Modules
English education at our university is given modularly at Pre-A1, A1, A2, B1, and B2 levels in line with the European Union language proficiency criteria. The academic year in the Preparatory School consists of 4 modules, each 8 weeks. According to the results of the Placement Exams, our students are placed in the appropriate level (Pre-A1, A1, A2, or B1) and progress from where they started and gain proficiency at the B2 level. Students who do not take the Placement exam will be automatically placed in Pre-A1 module. Students who succeed at the end of each module move on to the next level in the following module. Each module has a midterm exam at the end of 4 weeks and final exam at the end of 8 weeks.
Why a Modular System?
The modular system has a flexible structure that responds quickly to changes. The modular system allows the student to progress at their own pace and success to be measured frequently. This system gives students who need the time to learn a chance to repeat the program, while offering rapid progress for early learners.
