Acceptance and Registration Terms

Candidates who have a high school diploma showing a certain success in the central examinations conducted by the Measurement Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM) or at the international examinations accepted by the Higher Education Council are placed in consideration of the order of preference and success. The candidate who is entitled to be a student shall have a definite record of the documents determined within the period announced by the university.

Undergraduate-Recognition of Prior Learning

Transition between programs at the level of Associate and Undergraduate Degree in Higher Education Institutions, Double Major, Higher Education Institutions, Higher Education Institutions, the recognition of previous education, vertical and horizontal transitions (between universities and universities), Higher Education Council has determined and published in the Official Gazette dated 24.04.2010 and numbered 27561, Regulation on the Principles for the Implementation of the Credit Transfer between Minor and Institutions ". Exemption is assessed and / or exams are made at the beginning of the academic term for the courses that the students have taken in their previous education programs. Students who are thought to provide the qualifications expected from these courses or those who succeed in the exams may be exempted from the courses in the first four semesters of the course schedule.

Quantification and Consideration

The subjects related to measurement and evaluation are stated in Erciyes University Graduate Education Regulation dated February 16, 2017:

(1) Exams are evaluated over 100 points. Midterm and final exam scores of a course are indicated by numerical scores. The score (0) of the exams not entered by the student is zero.

(2) The calculation of the success grade is as follows:

a) The average score of the midterm examinations is determined by dividing the total score of the students who have taken the midterm examinations into the number of midterm examinations. The fractional numbers to be found are raised to the nearest whole number.

b) The success score is calculated by adding 60% of the semester, year-end and the make-up exam score and 40% of the midterm score average. The midterm grade is not taken into account in the single course examination. The success grade of the students entering the single course examination is determined according to the single course exam grade. Fractions are retained on the basis of these ratios, but in the calculation of the achievement score, the fractional numbers are rounded up to the nearest whole number.

c) For each course taken by the students in the framework of the graduate program; the lecture note is given by the instructors using the table below:

ç) For a dersten to be successful; graduate students must have at least CC and Ph.D. students must have at least CB marks. The minimum grades for the postgraduate program for which the students of the Scientific Preparation Program are enrolled in the course of a derstent are valid. In the calculation of achievement grades of undergraduate program students who take courses from the undergraduate program, the graded grade is determined based on the evaluation method applied in the undergraduate program.

d) Students who are successful in seminars, thesis studies, specialization courses and other similar courses are awarded a successful (BL) and unsuccessful (BS) grade.

e) Students failing due to failure to fulfill the attendance requirement are given an unsuccessful (DZ) grade from absenteeism.

f) The student is given a grade (M) for courses that are taken from any higher education institution before being accepted as a graduate program pursuant to the University and are not taken into account in the calculation of credit and grade average required for graduation and granted exemption.

g) The credits and grades of the courses taken from the higher education institutions outside the university and accepted as programa transfer credits shall be transferred in the same way as the table specified in (c) above.

Undergraduate Graduation Requirements

Students who graduate from the Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering take the title of Materials Engineer. In order to graduate from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, a student must have completed all the courses in the curriculum and must have at least 240 ECTS in the course of total education and a GPA of at least 2.00 out of 4.00.
