Students studying at Düzce University may be exempt from some courses within the framework of certain regulations. If the content of the course taken at another institution is compatible with the content of the course given at Düzce University and is approved by the relevant faculty/institute/school board of directors, the student may be exempt from this course.
Recognition of Overseas Education
The academic terms and courses of students who study abroad as exchange students for one or two semesters at our contracted universities and return are recognized by Düzce University.
Students selected to benefit from Student Education Mobility within the scope of the ERASMUS program are obliged to prepare a study agreement with their ERASMUS Unit Coordinators before the start of their mobility period. This learning agreement; It shows the courses and ECTS values that the student will take at the partner university where he/she will study.
In addition, students are required to prepare a Recognition Sheet. In this document, the credit transfer to be made is determined by showing the equivalents of the courses students will take abroad at Düzce University.
At the end of the exchange period, the courses taken by the student abroad are shown in their transcripts along with their original codes and names, ECTS Credits and grades. In the official transcripts of the students, these courses are accompanied by the abbreviation "ET", which means "course taken at foreign universities within the scope of the ERASMUS Program and cooperation agreements".
In the machinery program, education is provided for 4 semesters (minimum 14 weeks each semester) for 2 years. In order to graduate, students must complete the vocational training in business (+1) course by practicing in the business for 14 weeks. The education provided in this program is suitable for today's technology and has the adequacy, flexibility and diversity to meet the expectations of the industry. In the machinery program, the first semester courses are compulsory, the second semester compulsory courses are accompanied by elective courses, and the same courses are applied in the 3rd and 4th semesters in accordance with the vocational training in business (+1) curriculum, in the workplace and under the name of vocational training course in the business for 14 weeks. Students are directed to the courses in the elective course pool in accordance with their wishes and abilities.
