Dual-Degree Process Introduced for 4 New International Joint Programs at IUAS

As Isparta University of Applied Sciences (IUAS), we are taking another important step in bringing our academic expertise in agricultural sciences to the international arena through a new collaboration.

As a result of the joint efforts carried out with Tashkent State Agrarian University (in the Republic of Uzbekistan), International Joint Master's Programs with Thesis established under our Graduate Education Institute in four different departments have been approved by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK in Türkiye). Within the scope of this collaboration, the first students will be admitted starting from the Fall Semester of the 2026–2027 Academic Year.

The International Joint Master's Programs with Thesis are as follows:

-International Joint Master's Program with Thesis in Plant Protection

-International Joint Master's Program with Thesis in Animal Science

-International Joint Master's Program with Thesis in Field Crops

-International Joint Master's Program with Thesis in Horticulture

Approved at the meeting of the Higher Education Executive Board held on 25 June 2026, these joint programs aim to strengthen academic ties between Türkiye and Uzbekistan, promote student and academic staff mobility, and enhance the exchange of scientific knowledge through joint research projects. Students graduating from these programs will be eligible to receive dual-degrees from both universities.

We extend our sincere appreciation to all our academic staff and colleagues who contributed to the planning and approval of this process, and wish these programs each success for our University and our students.
