Important Announcement for 2025-2026 Prep Class Students
Dear students,
We wish all our students at Karabük University School of Foreign Languages a healthy, happy, and successful academic year.
Please pay attention to the following explanations:
-
It is compulsory for all newly enrolled students to take the Placement Test, which will be held on September 8, 2025 in the classrooms of Karabük University School of Foreign Languages building. Those who do not take the Placement Test will not be able to start their English preparatory education. The Placement Test is not an achievement test; its purpose is to precisely determine the current English level of the students.
-
In order to participate in the Placement Test, the only requirement is to be an enrolled student in a partial (30%) or full (100%) English program at our university. You do not need to register, submit a petition, make a phone call or pay a fee specifically for the Placement Test.
-
The Placement Test details including date, time and place will be announced at https://sfl.karabuk.edu.tr. Please follow the announcements.
-
For the students who took preparatory education last year and failed, there are two options:
-
You can take the Placement Test on September 8 and start prep class at a level according to your exam results.
-
OR you can skip the prep class education by submitting an Application Petition until September 15, 2025, 17:30. So that, you will have the opportunity to participate in the English Proficiency Tests held twice a year without taking the Placement Test. For this option, it is required to have taken English prep class in the previous year and failed, to be an active student in the student information system (OBS), and to have paid the current tuition fee and registered for the course. For the Preparatory Class Proficiency Petition, CLICK HERE. You need to scan or take a photo of the wet-signed printout of the petition and send it to ydyo@karabuk.edu.tr or hand-deliver it to the School of Foreign Languages.

The things you must have with you for the Placement Test are listed below:
-
Republic of Turkey ID card or Identity Card or Karabük University Student ID or Student Certificate (you can get it from e-Devlet) or Driver's License or Residence Permit or Passport. It is compulsory to bring at least on of these documents; otherwise, you will not be allowed to take the exam.
-
Since test booklets and optical forms will be used in the Placement Test, you must bring pencils, erasers, and sharpeners etc. with you.
