Qualification Awarded

Software Engineer

Specific Admission Requirements

Students are accepted based on their SAY score of the Field Proficiency Test (AYT) country-wide exam performed by OSYM, the national exam center.

Qualification Requirements

Students who were placed in the program depending on the Higher Education Institutions' examinations conducted by OSYM and have scored over 65 in the English language preparatory exam; can start their education.

Recognition of Prior Learning

With horizontal transfer programs, students are accepted in quotas determined at the beginning of the academic year, based on academic success.

History

Our department has started by accepting students in 2021-2022 academic year. The language of education in all programs of our department is English.

Profile of the Programme

About 60 students join our department every year. We prepare our students for their professional life with our current curriculum in line with the age requirements, open source, and free software-based education structure, modern classrooms, and laboratories. We will prepare our students to meet the increasing global need for software engineers and contribute to the field of software engineering with a qualified workforce. Elective courses make up most of our curriculum starting from the 3rd grade, and our students can begin to specialize in the software engineering fields they are interested in.

Exam Regulations & Assesment & Grading

For each course, the format of assessment and evaluation is defined in detail in “Course Teaching Plan”. In addition to the two written exams (a midterm and a final), homeworks , projects and presentations contribute to %30 of the final grade.

Graduation Requirements

Successful completion of our program requires the completion of total 240.0 ECTS with a minimum GPA of 2.0 out of 4.0.

Occupational Profiles of Graduates

Our graduates, who have gained the ability to apply engineering approaches in the development of software products systematically, and who are equipped with the knowledge and skills appropriate to the requirements of the age, can primarily work on software projects such as software requirement analysis, architectural software designs, software development, software testing, and verification processes.

Access to Further Studies

Students who graduated from our department can pursue related graduate programs for MS/MA/PhD degrees if they get satisfactory point from nationwide ALES exam.
