The most important career planning activity carried out for our students is the “Joint Education Program”. Thanks to this program, our students plan their careers, prepare their résumés and have a real interview experience, are accepted by companies for joint education, have the opportunity to work in a real business environment for about 1 year, and see what they can do after graduation. If mutual satisfaction is achieved, they can start working in the institutions where they did their professional internship practice.

Principles for Determining Honor Degree Students
The first, second and third honor degree students of the undergraduate programs of the University's Faculties are determined from among the students who have graduated, based on the beginning of the summer term add-drop date of each academic year. The necessary conditions for having the honor status are as follows:
The first of the faculty is the student with the highest overall grade point average (GPA) from the date of registration to the undergraduate program until the end of the eleventh semester. The second of the faculty is the student with the highest GPA after the first of the faculty, and the third of the faculty is the student with the highest GPA after the second of the faculty.
In case of equality of GPAs, the number of course withdrawals is considered, and in case of equality of these numbers, the number of course repetitions is considered. In case of equality of all three criteria, the same honor degree is given to more than one graduate.
The undergraduate program must be completed in a maximum of eleven semesters. However, students who register irregularly for the undergraduate program after completing one or two preparatory semesters, and who therefore fail to take 75% of the compulsory courses for the semester they registered for due to prerequisites, will not be considered in the semester calculation for a maximum of two semesters. In addition, for students who take a leave of absence without counting towards the duration of the first two semesters of the undergraduate program, these periods spent on leave will not be considered in the semester calculation.
Students who graduate earlier than eleven semesters are evaluated together with students who graduated by completing eleven semesters. Early graduation does not create a new right to be ranked.
It is required that the student has not received any disciplinary punishment from the university, other than a warning. The language of instruction is Turkish in the Departments of Interior Architecture, Visual Communication Design, and Turkish Language and Literature. In the Departments of English Language and Literature, and Artificial Intelligence Engineering, the language of instruction is 100% English. In other departments, 30% of the instruction is in English.
Living allowance is paid on the last day of each month.
