Certificate: 
The two-year program in teacher education at Bilkent
University Graduate School of Education awards a Masters
degree in Curriculum and Instruction, together with a Teaching Certificate
which qualifies graduates to teach in high schools. The courses to be
followed include the formation courses laid down by the Higher
Education Council (YÖK) for qualified teacher status, further courses
in education, and a thesis. Currently, the Graduate School of Education
accepts students in four subject areas: Turkish language and
literature, English, biology and mathematics. A strong feature of the
program is students’ experience in schools. Each semester students have
an internship in leading high schools in Ankara, Istanbul and Izmir,
observing classes and teaching. In addition they have an internship in
England. The teacher education courses of the program cover the
required educational knowledge and skills. Subject-area and liberal
arts courses broaden and extend students’ understanding of their
subject area and educational philosophy. Strong emphasis is given to
international dimensions, including the International Baccalaureate and
IGCSE curricula.
