Equivalence Rules for the Software Engineering Department
Article 1 - The instructional language of the Software Engineering Department is 100% English. Therefore, it is a requirement that the language of instruction of the course is in English. This condition does not apply to Turkish Language and Atatürk Principles and Revolution History courses defined in Article 5(ı) of Law No. 2547 and known as YÖK 5(ı).
Article 2 - The equivalence evaluation of a course is done considering the credit of the course (local or ECTS) and its content. The credit of the relevant course to be considered equivalent should be equal to or higher then the credit of the course for which equivalence is sought. Additionally, the course name does not have to be exactly the same as the course to be considered equivalent.
Article 3 - The course content is examined based on the weekly course schedule and the evaluation system (assignments, projects, etc.) by the responsible faculty members of the relevant course in previous terms or years. Following the examination, it is a requirement that the relevant course has at least 90% similarity with the course for which equivalence is sought.
Article 4 - During a student's education, the maximum amount of credit transferable from other universities as summer school or as a special student cannot exceed 10% of our program. Credits taken beyond this ratio will not be counted toward graduation credits.
Article 5 - These rules will be effective starting from the 2023-2024 academic year.
