The related degree provides rights and privileges to practice the profession. Chemistry Department does its internal and external movements under dean's office and Rectorate. Chemistry Department's partnerships can be summarized as TÜBİTAK (Turkish Research Council), DPT (State Planning Agency), employing companies, universities, research institutions, former graduates, chemistry organizations. | | | RECOGNATION of PRIOR LEARNING | | The "Directive on Recognition of Prior Learning", Senate Decision No. 340 issued on July 28, 2023, has been accepted and entered into force regarding the students registered in all programs of Karadeniz Technical University to determine the principles to be followed for the recognition, crediting, and adaptation of the achievements acquired by the students at non-university institutions.
In this Directive,
- recognition of knowledge, skills, and competencies acquired with special interest through an exemption exam to be substituted as program courses,
- recognition of workplace and internship experiences through portfolio evaluation to be substituted as program courses,
- and the crediting of certificates received from accredited institutions regarding students' special interests are covered.
Announcements of courses included in the scope of recognition of prior learning, applications, and evaluation will be made on the dates specified in the academic calendar.
Recognition of prior learning will offer numerous benefits to our students and employers. For our students, increasing professional development and mobility in the labour market, preventing repetition of education and waste of time, providing early graduation, reducing the cost of learning, encouraging learning, and increasing the student's motivation and self-confidence can be counted among the benefits of recognition of prior learning. From the employers' perspectives, it will contribute to satisfying skill or competence deficiencies in the workplace, reducing the time employees spend outside the workplace for training purposes, and thus using resources more efficiently. | | | QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS and REGULATIONS | | | Students are selected by Student Selection and Placement Center (OSYM) according to the student's score in the Student Selection Exam | | | EXAMINATION, ASSESSMENT and GRADING REGULATIONS | | | For each class, students take a final exam, a midterm exam and complete a 'semester work' which can be a project, seminar, a short exam, homework assignments, or a second midterm. 50% of the final exam score (out of 100), 30% of the midterm score (out of 100) and 20% of the semester work (out of 100) are added to get the final grade.
