Submitted documentation must include: statement of purpose, university transcript, at least two recommendation letters, GRE or ALES scores, proof of English proficiency. Turkish nationals must supply ALES scores. International applicants are to supply GRE scores. Full details can be found at: http://mfbe.bilkent.edu.tr

Visas for International Students: The duration of the visa application process varies from country to country. In some cases, the process may take up to 8 weeks, so accepted students are advised to apply for visa as early as possible.
