GENERAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE EXAMS

Although no distinction is made between University Degrees, candidates should have basic knowledge of Cell Biology and Nervous System Physiology.

The basic knowledge of the candidates in the above fields will be assessed through exams in multiple choice questions on July 1st, 2024.

This  is considered necessary for the students to achieve the maximum performance during their studies and to have homogeneity in terms of the level of knowledge.

Applicants who have not been taught the specific subjects must make sure to attend the relevant undergraduate courses and/or online seminars or read relevant books. Students can find free textbooks at: https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/subjects/education or https://www.oercommons.org/ or other sources
