Exchange students' applications are evaluated according to
the registration acceptance conditions outlined in the bilateral agreement
signed between Düzce University and the partner university.
Special students can enroll in the courses offered in this
program with the approval of the relevant Department Chair.
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 Department of Mechatronics Engineering has commenced its Master's program in the academic year 2022-2023. The department is staffed with 1 Professor, 4 Associate Professors, 2 Assistant Professors, 1 Instructor, and 2 Research Assistants.
