Students in the Masters program can pursue two degree pathways. All students are expected to complete one year of intensive seminars. During the second year, students who are interested in research or academic careers can opt to work on a research theme of their own choice, under the supervision of a faculty member. Such students are expected to write a well-argued thesis, subject to evaluation by a thesis committee. Examples of recent MA research topics by students include:
* Independent/alternative artist initiatives in contemporary Istanbul
* Being a soldiers mother in Turkey
* The Turkish sub-genre of military coup narratives
* Representations of honor among Turkish immigrant women in Berlin
* The politics of Kurdish children and youth in urban space
* Tourist gaze and tourist narratives in Southeastern Anatolia
* Relations to the Western literary canon in Pamuk and Rushdie
* Censorship on visual arts in contemporary Turkey
Students who desire enhanced specialization for careers in culture industries or non-governmental organizations can choose the non-thesis path. Such students are expected to fulfill their MA requirements by undertaking an additional semester of seminar work, subject to the approval and supervision of an academic committee.
