Full Time

Admission requirements

Those who have successfully completed their secondary education are eligible.

Recognition of prior learning

The process of recognition of prior education by Turkish higher education institutions is still in its incipient stage. Likewise, the recognition of prior education has neither been started nor implemented by all departments at Namik Kemal University. However, a proficiency exam is held at the beginning of each academic year regarding the compulsory Foreign Language Course which is to be offered in the curriculum of all departments. The students who have embarked on a self-learning period or acquired necessary skills in the course are eligible to enter this exam. Those who have successfully passed the exam are eligible not to take the course.

Degree requirements

Cum. GPA of at least 2.00/4.00, all courses passed with at least DD/S, minimum 240 ECTS and the compulsory internship.

Program profile

 Civil engineering is a basic engineering branch that brings together materials and technology in the best way. civil engineers plan and design transportation or hydraulic systems and structures, following construction and government standards, using design software and drawing tools. They Compute load and grade requirements, water flow rates, and material stress factors to determine design specifications.

Occupational profiles of graduates

 Civil engineers take part in each area of the development and construction of the countries. Civil engineers not only built the buildings. They can work during the construction of the bridges, dams, power stations, water treatment plant, etc.

Access to upper degree

Upon successful completion of their undergraduate programme of study, the students are encouraged to embark on advanced academic studies on the graduate level (master’s and doctoral) on condition of having received the required score in ALES exam and possessing sufficient knowledge of English or another foreign language.

Exams, assessment and grading

Students will take a minimum of one midterm examination. In addition to midterms, they will be assigned projects and homeworks whose deadlines will be specified at the beginning of the semester. At the end of each semester, the students are required to take a final examination. The course content, the requirements (midterm, project, assignment and final examination) and their contribution to the final grade is specified on the website. Student regulations and the final examination dates are determined by the university and final examinations take place as announced. The students are graded according to their midterm, project, assignment and final examination results.

The passing grade at Namık Kemal University is 60 out of 100. However, the grade of the final examination or the retake should be a minimum of 50. Exams are evaluated on a scale of 100. The final grade of a course is the sum total of %30 of the midterm grade and %70 of the final or the retake examination grades. However, the calculation of the final grade of a course can be determined and announced at the beginning of the semester by the Faculty/College Council as the sum total of ranging between %30 – %50 of the midterm examination and %50 – %70 of the final examination as long as the addition equals to a scale of 100. As a result of the calculation, if the value after the decimal is less than five, the grade is finalized by lowering it to the decimal value; if more than five, upgrading it to the next decimal value.

The regulations can be found on http://oidb.nku.edu.tr/yonetmenlik/2011eos.pdf.

Final and retake grades are submitted to the Student Affairs along with the evaluation criteria. The grades are announced on the student information system.

 

 

 Grades

 

The grading system to evaluate the student performance is signified by the values in the chart below. For each course students are graded by letters. Letter grades, coefficients and ratios are as follows:

 

Grade	Letter Grade	Local Grade	Status
90-100	AA	4.00	Pass
80-89	BA	3.50	Pass
70-79	BB	3.00	Pass
65-69	CB	2.50	Pass
60-64	CC	2.25	Pass
50-59	DD	2.00	Fail
30-49	FD	1.00	Fail
0-29	FF	0.00	Fail

 

Students are required to retake the courses from which they received DD, FD or FF during the first oncoming semester in which these courses are offered.

Successful Students

Students who complete their associate or undergraduate degree with a grade point average of 3.00 – 3.49 graduate as honor students; 3.50 and above as high honor students.
