Recognition of Prior Learning

Lateral transfer is possible for students of master's and doctorate programmes who have successfully completed at least one semester at another department of the same university and the same institute, or at a master's and doctorate programme of another equivalent institute of another higher education institute. According to the related bylaws, the courses that a lateral transfer student should take within the scope of 'Programme Adjustment' are determined by the committee of the relevant department. The determination of which and how many of the previously taken courses should be recognized within scope of the minimum course load, is suggested by the advisor and the committee of the relevant department,as well. "Full Recognition" is provided upon the approval of those courses by the board of chairs of relevant institute.

Kocaeli University guarantees in advance that all credits gained and courses received by an Erasmus student after the mobility abroad will be fully recognized and transferred into Kocaeli University system and upon arrival with the approval of the authorities and the student. While preparing the" Erasmus Credit Transfer and Grade Equivalency Table" the ECTS grades are transmitted to Kocaeli University grading system.

Turkish higher education institutions are in the start-up phase about the recognition of informal and non formal education. However; computer and foreign language skills that students improve on their own, are evaluated through exemption examinations by the university. Students who prove to be proficient in such exams are exempted from related course(s).

Program Competencies

• To have sufficient knowledge at doctoral level in engineering subjects related to mathematics, science and electro-optical systems engineering; ability to model and solve problems in electro-optical systems engineering using theoretical and applied knowledge in these fields.
• Ability to identify, define, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems; ability to select and apply appropriate analysis and modelling methods for this purpose.
• Ability to design a complex electro-optical system, process or product to meet the specific requirements under realistic constraints and conditions; ability to apply modern design methods for this purpose. (Realistic constraints and conditions include elements such as economy, environmental impacts, sustainability, feasibility, ethics, health, safety, social and political impacts, depending on the nature of the design.)
