Forestry Faculty Wood Products Industrial Engineering Undergraduate Program, began teaching in the academic year 2013-2014 . Turkish is the medium of instruction.This program has a curriculum for researchers, planners, practitioners and managers that work in the institutions/organizations within the wood works industry and furniture sector. The courses designed under the theory of global competition, according to international standards to ensure production of quality wood-based works and furniture.
Our departmental mission is to produce information and train environmentally conscious students who design wood products industrial engineering systems, analyse, implement, evaluate and review the results, take responsibility, respect professional and ethical values, do research, and share policy with the knowledge and confidence. We aim at the students having the principle to be integrated with industry and and others with a strong social aspect.
Our vision is to become a department to transform science and technology for the benefit of humanity and our country, provide a top-level research and educational environment through which the students are equipped with contemporary knowledge and trained so that they have the qualifications of research methodology and ability along with the leadership to compete in the international arena by supporting the national and universal values.
Students who successfully complete the programme will be awarded an Bachelor's Degree in Wood Products Industrial Engineering.
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.

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 graduate program of Wood Products Industrial Engineering aims to train both academics and experts in order to fulfil the requirements for establishing the interdisciplinary relations in the fields of wood products industry, furniture sector, and other related fields. The objective of the program tends to expect the abilities for research and development of solutions in theoretical issues for candidates considering the social, industrial and environmental problems, emphasizing development in the wood products industry and furniture sector in the context of global competition.
