The education students receive and the qualifications they gain are important factors in their access to work opportunities. However, the laws, regulations and economic conditions of the countries where students live are other factors that affect employment opportunities. In addition, employment opportunities can always change. Therefore, we recommend that our students follow the developments and changes in the sector, prepare the documents required for job applications and increase their competitiveness by developing their own skills while preparing themselves for the employment market.

In summary, the education our students receive and the qualifications they gain are important factors in their access to employment opportunities. However, due to the variability of the conditions and legal regulations in their work areas, our students need to continuously improve themselves and follow sectoral developments to facilitate their access to employment opportunities.

The student's success in the courses is determined by evaluating the mid-term grades and the final exam grade together.

Mid-term grades consist of quizzes, mid-term exam grades and grades given to homework, applications and practical work depending on the course. In the credit system, the type and weight of mid-term and final evaluations (exams, homework, applications and similar) are reported to the relevant department head by the instructor teaching the course within the first two weeks of the semester and announced to the students by the relevant teaching unit administration. The final evaluation is determined by the instructor teaching the course with one of the following letter grades, taking into account the general success level of all students taking that course.

While the impact of the homework given during the semester on the final grade is 40%, the impact of the final exams at the end of the semester is 60%.
