The registration process of the candidates who succeeded in the talent exams held at the Faculty of Music and Performing Arts, the Faculty of Fine Arts and the School of Physical Education and Sports, where students were admitted to our university with a special talent exam, has been completed.
In the Faculty of Music and Performing Arts, where 760 candidates applied this year, the exams were not held face to face due to the pandemic. In the exams of the Department of Musicology and Turkish Music held in one session, the ability to sing and play was evaluated based on the audio and video recordings sent by the candidates for the exam. The video recordings sent by the candidates in the Theater Department were evaluated according to the acting and musical abilities of the candidates. After the exams, 17 candidates for the Department of Musicology, 30 for the Turkish Music Department and 8 for the Theater Department were entitled to enroll.
Candidate students were subjected to coordination and skill tests in the talent exam held in the Sports Hall of the School of Physical Education and Sports, where 968 candidates applied. In the exam, the performances of the candidates were immediately recorded with a special measurement system called photocell and transferred to the system. As a result of the evaluations made after the exam, 40 students were entitled to enroll in the Physical Education and Sports Teaching Department and 40 students in the Sports Management Department.
In the special talent exams of the Faculty of Fine Arts, to which a total of 986 candidates applied, the exams were held in two sessions.

Rector Prof. Dr. Ali Akdoğan stated, “As Ordu University, we continue to raise our success to a higher level of science every year and to bring our students together with quality education in all education units. This quality education has led to the emergence of this intense demand both in the central placement score and in the departments where we recruit students with special talent. Increasing demand is an important indicator that Ordu University brings us closer to our goals of providing education and training at international standards every year. With these thoughts, I congratulate our students who have been successful in the special talent exams.”
