A Cooperation Protocol Has Been Signed Between Tarsus University and SPL

A cooperation protocol has been signed between Tarsus University and the Capital Markets Licensing Registry and Training Agency Inc. (SPL) with the aim of improving our students’ financial literacy, supporting their professional development, and contributing to their preparation for career opportunities in capital markets.

Within the scope of the protocol, it is aimed to raise students’ awareness of SPL licensing examinations, support their preparation process, and guide them toward the finance sector in a more qualified and informed manner. Accordingly, students of the Department of Finance and Banking will be able to apply for SPL Electronic Licensing Examinations with a discounted examination fee.

Who Can Benefit from the Discount?

Students who wish to benefit from the SPL student discount must meet the following conditions:

• Be under the age of 25 as of the examination date,
• Have active student status at the time of application,
• Upload an up-to-date QR-coded/barcoded student certificate obtained via e-Government to the SPL Application System,
• Wait for the uploaded document to be approved by SPL.

Application Steps

1. Log in to the SPL Application System at https://basvuru.spl.com.tr/ and select the “Capital Market Activities Licensing Examinations” step.
2. After logging in via e-Government, enter your personal information.
3. In the education information section:
   • Select “Active Student” in the student status field.
   • Select Tarsus University as the university.
   • If the department name does not appear directly in the system, select “Other” and manually enter “Finance and Banking”.
   • After creating your account, log in to the system again using your username and password.
4. Upload an up-to-date QR-coded/barcoded student certificate obtained via e-Government in the document upload section.
5. The uploaded document will be reviewed by SPL and approved if found eligible.
6. After document approval is completed, the application should be finalized by paying the discounted examination fee.

Important Notes

• Students should not make any payment before document approval is completed. Payment must be made based on the discounted amount after the approval process is finalized.
• The student certificate must be up to date and must be a QR-coded/barcoded document obtained via e-Government.
• During the application, the university name must be selected as Tarsus University. If the department name does not appear directly in the system, “Other” must be selected and the department name must be manually entered as “Finance and Banking”.
• If incomplete, incorrect, or invalid documents are uploaded, the application document may not be approved by SPL.
• Candidates should follow the document approval status through the SPL Application System.
• Since the examination fee may not be refunded or transferred to another examination after payment, application information and document approval should be checked carefully before making the payment.

Other Important Information in the Examination Guide

• There is no specific graduation requirement to sit for SPL licensing examinations.
• However, passing the examination alone is not sufficient to obtain the license certificate. The graduation requirement specified for the relevant license type must also be fulfilled.
• For the Capital Market Activities Level 1 License and the Residential Real Estate Appraisal License, at least a two-year higher education degree is required. For all other licenses, at least a four-year higher education degree is required.
• The examinations are conducted electronically on computers. Therefore, candidates are expected to have basic computer skills.
• Candidates should determine the appropriate license type by considering their career goals and the capital market field in which they wish to work.

Why Is It Important?

SPL licenses are important professional qualification indicators for students who aim to pursue careers in capital markets, banking, investment institutions, portfolio management, investment advisory, corporate finance, and related financial fields. Our students are encouraged to carefully evaluate this opportunity.
