[] About Program

The main purpose of the material properties due to the micro structure of the program to recognize the practical good sense, observation of micro-structure components of the required structure is put forward with clear and realistic shape, able to transmit the results of qualitative and quantitative analysis is to train qualified technical staff. Technical staff is still working with the foregoing qualifications of technical experience gained with the help of businesses grow. Working conditions for graduate students under this program more closely and effectively to learn about education in a practical work program being prepared in parallel. Graduates of this program, especially the metal manufacturing industry and production and quality control departments of planning and sales departments are important materials needed in the relationship between gap up closing element.

Our students will graduate second end of the year 120 ECTS credit. Lecture, hands-on, is compulsory and elective courses, given lectures for the training of Metallurgy and Metal Science. Given in the following sectors Metallography and Materials Testing Program graduates find internships and job opportunities. In addition, graduates, and increasing job opportunities and employment options are increasing in popularity.

Possible applications of the students find a job after graduation;

• Precision Casting

To complete the available courses in the program (a total of 120 ECTS) successfully, the students have to get at least 50 points out of 100 and required to achieve 2.00 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.
[] Recognition of Prior Learning
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.
[] Description of Program

This program aims to enable students to gain proficiency in processes related to the production, alloying, shaping, and corrosion protection of metals and alloys suitable for their intended purpose, starting from raw materials containing ore or metal. Within this scope, students are trained as technical personnel who are familiar with the relevant technologies and can effectively select and use the necessary techniques, tools, and information systems in applications.
In addition, the field of Materials Science conducts research on ceramics, organic-based building materials (especially polymers, rubbers, and plastics), and composite materials, in addition to studies on metals.
