Students who complete the program are entitled to receive the title of Doctor.
To apply for a doctorate program; one must have a master's degree with a thesis and must have an ALES score not less than 55 points in the score type of the program they apply from ALES, which will be determined by the decision of the relevant senate.
Those who apply to the doctorate program with a bachelor's degree must have a bachelor's degree grade point average of at least 3 out of 4 or an equivalent score and must have an ALES score to be determined by the senate, provided that it is not less than 80 points in the score type of the program they apply from ALES. In the admission of those who will apply to the Ph.D. program, in addition to the ALES score, the results of the scientific evaluation exam and/or interview to be held in writing and the graduate grade point average for those who apply with a master's degree can also be evaluated. The issues related to this evaluation, application conditions, and other issues regarding student admission are determined by the regulations issued by the relevant senate.
Those who have ten semesters of undergraduate education, excluding preparatory classes, are considered to have a master's degree.
The weight of the ALES score provided that it is not less than 50%, is determined by the Senate. The higher education institution may also accept students only with ALES scores. Equivalent scores accepted as equivalent to ALES and announced by the Council of Higher Education can be raised by the senate decisions of each university.
In the admission of students to the doctoral program, it is compulsory to get at least 55 points from the central foreign language exams accepted by the Higher Education Council and international foreign language exams accepted as equivalent by ÖSYM or an equivalent score from international foreign language exams accepted as equivalent by ÖSYM, and it is decided by the university senates to raise these minimum scores if necessary according to the characteristics of the programs to be entered.
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 recognizes academic terms and courses studied by a student who has been involved in an exchange program for one or two terms at the universities with which a partnership was established.
Students who 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 before the mobility term. The education agreement demonstrates the courses to be studied at the partner university the student intends to go to, 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. Under the ERASMUS Programme and Collaboration Agreements concluded thereunto, official transcripts will quote, an abbreviation signal of ET, European Transfer, for the courses studied abroad.
The Ph.D. program provides the student with the necessary skills to conduct independent research, interpret, analyze, and reach new syntheses by examining scientific problems and data from a broad and deep perspective.
