Düzce University, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Department of Mathematics was established in 2009-2010 academic year. Beside day and night graduate education, post-graduate and gruduate programmes are also available. Our academic staff consists of 3 Professors, 3 Associate Professors, 6 Assistant Professors and 6 Research Assistants and 1 Lecturer. Large number of researches, which are qualified nationally and internationally, are carried out by academic staff members in following branches:
Algebra and Number Theory
Geometry
Fundamentals of Mathematics and Mathematical Logic
Topology
Applied Mathematics
Analysis and Function Theory
In Web of Science database, there are 360 articles of our academic staff members between the years 2009 and 2016. At the same time, the necessary support for Mathematics is provided for graduate and post-graduate level students in various departments of our university. In our department, 200 graduate and 30 post-graduate students are receiving education.
In graduate education, our first priority is to equip our students with a high level of mathematical knowledge and make them gain the the ability of understanding and ratiocinating information with different type of content in the light of their Mathematical thinking capability. Thus, our aim is to become a department which educates individuals to perform their profession in the best way besides abstract thinking and Mathematical analysis. In post-graduate education, our primary objective is to make our students have the ability of independent study and research. So we educate and encourage our students to contribute to scientific progress in national and international communities by doing top level scientific research.
Students who successfully complete the programme will be awarded an Bachelor's Degree in Department of Mathematics.
It is a programme that provides undergraduate (first cycle) education.
The admission of students to the programmes is made according to the Student Selection and Placement Centre (OSYM – University entrance exam) within the framework set by the regulations of Higher Education Council (HEC). After students inform the Student Selection and Placement Centre about what programmes they want to study at, students are placed in the related programmes according to their scores they got from the exam.
Foreign students are admitted to the related programmes with the scores of internationally acceptable exams such as SAT, ACT or are admitted to the related programmes with their high school graduation grades (Undergraduate and Graduate Programmes for Foreign Students Admission Guidelines).
The
admission of students of General Academic Exchange Protocol to the related
programmes are done within the framework of the bilateral agreements (ERASMUS,
FARABI, etc) signed between Duzce University and the partner universities.
Guest students may enrol into the courses in this programme, if the related
academic unit approves. Sufficient language knowledge is required to monitor
the programme.
To complete the available courses in the program (a total of 240 ECTS) successfully, the students have to get at least 50 points out of 100 and required to achieve 2.50 on a 4.00 weighted grade point average. To graduate from the programs students should get at least DD in all of the courses provided. Students are also required to complete the compulsory practice in the specified time.
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.
The objective of the undergraduate programme in Mathematics is to bring up individuals who will be aware of the big role and importance of analytical and critical thinking, sensitive towards the social problems; therefore, they will be able to analyse the problems also find solutions to these problems. The programme also is aiming to bring up individuals who are interested in researches and they will have the chance to to catch the opportunity to find satisfactory jobs in the working fields such as universities, education and research centers, both in private and state sectors.
