Education Information System

Our ultimate objective is to educate mechanical engineering graduates who are;
1) Prepared and equipped with the required professional knowledge as an engineer in both industry and academia
2) Well oriented and agreed for the fundamentals of mechanical engineering
3) Ability for learning new applications, at both research and implementation level, from an objective perspective
4) Aptitude for working and collaborating within a team by socially-developed and effective communication skills
5) well-aware of requirements of a globally competitive modern world and showing a high-level of responsibility in terms of professional ethics.

1) To prepare engineering graduates for a successful profession by educating with application skills of fundamental scientific knowledge in the engineering practice 
2) To provide the necessary technical, academic and practical knowledge and application confidence in the design and assessment of machines or mechanical systems or industrial processes with considerations of productivity, feasibility and environmental and social aspects.
3) to develop skills and abilities in describing, formulating, modeling and proposing potential solutions for the engineering problem at hand, considering potential simplified or idealized conditions and experimentation for all necessary conclusions
4) to educate mechanical engineers with the abilities and performance to participate or manage professional teams or multi-disciplinary groups together with the effective oral and official communication skills. 
5) to prepare for professional and social responsibilities in the realization of engineering activates in this current contemporary era
6) to present opportunities and usables for the understanding the up-to-date information 
7) to orient the engineering students to the graduate studies and life-long learning and to emphasize significance of continuous education beyond undergraduate studies
8) to help the seniors to be have, at least, a partial expertise in a particular topic of mechanical engineering field.

Turkish

Students who successfully complete the programme will be awarded an PhD Degree in Mechanical Engineering.

It is a programme that provides graduate education at Third Cycle level.

It is essential for the candidates of doctora program;

•    To hold a graduate diploma.
•    To have a grade of at least 55 on ALES (Academic Personnel and Graduate Education Entrance Exam) 450 on GMAT, which is an internationally accredited exam, or 610 on “quantitative” part of GRE exam.
•    To meet the requirements determined by the head of department and to have  taken the language proficiency exam given by the institution unless the candidate has a certificate of KPDS/UDS or any other exams accredited by YOK ( TurkishHigherEducationInstitution )
•    Tohave a grade of at least 70 in ALES (Academic Personnel and Graduate Education Entrance Exam).
•    To be successful in the interview/ aptitude test
•    To have a reference letter, a statement of purpose  showing the reason for applying  for the graduate program and competence in written and oral Turkish and/or foreign language skills
•    Exchange student applications are to be done in accordance with the admission requirements of the agreement signed between Duzce University and the partner university.
•    Special students can take the courses approved by the head of the related department.

Students studying in a Ph.D. program are required,
• To take 7 courses and enroll in the Seminar course, Ph.D. qualifying exam, and Ph.D. thesis, and complete 240 ECTS.
• To get at least a grade of BB in order to be successful in each course of the program,
• To have 3.25 general average grades out of 4.00 on all courses, and are to be successful in the Ph.D. Qualifying Exam, Seminar course Ph.D. thesis defense.

Students enrolled in DU might be exempted from certain courses within the framework of certain regulations. A student can be exempted from a certain course provided related course content previously received from another institution complies with that of DU, which is subject to approval and verification by the Board of faculty/graduate school/school.

Recognition of Education Abroad

DU recognises academic terms and courses studied by a student that has been involved in an exchange programme for one or two terms at the universities with which a partnership was established.

Students that are selected to avail themselves of Student Mobility for Studies under ERASMUS are obliged to draw up an education agreement with relevant ERASMUS Unit Coordination prior to the mobility term. The education agreement demonstrates the courses to be studied at the partner university the student intends to go, as well as appropriate ECTS credits.

In addition to this, students shall be asked to issue a Recognition Sheet, which refers to the equivalent of foreign courses in DU, so that the credit transfer is planned and approved.

At the end of the exchange term, the courses studied abroad are recorded and demonstrated in the transcript, together with the original course codes and names and ECTS credits. Pursuant to ERASMUS Programme and Collaboration Agreements concluded thereunto, official transcripts will quote, an abbreviation signal of ET, European Transfer, for the courses studied abroad.

For each course, the method of assessment and grading is defined "Course Information Form" in details. Click for more information about regulations.

In order to graduate from the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Institute of Graduated School of Natural and Applied Science with degree of PhD(the doctor of philosophy), the students need to have 21 national credits courses. Likewise the students need to have 52,5 ECTS courses in order to have PhD degree. After these courses completed successfully, the courses of “Master Seminar, Master Thesis Study and Lecture on Specialized Field” must be chosen in all semesters until the total number of courses will be 240 ECTS. Students must be graded BB and above in order to be approved successfully in the courses they have. Besides students must have a national and an international publication (poster, oral session or paper) in order to attend the thesis defense examination.
