Access to Further Studies
Graduates, upon successful acquisition of the undergraduate degree, can enter graduate programs as M.Sc. and PhD candidates with the condition of having the minimum required scores in the ALES and foreign language (such as UDS, TOEFL, IELTS, KPDS, etc.) examinations.
11
Examination Regulations, Assessment and Grading
Attendance to at least 70% of theoretical courses and at least 80% of practical lab work is mandatory. Those who fulfill the attendance requirement may take the final exam. Students are subjected to at least one midterm and one final exam for each course. Both midterm and final exam contributions are 50% to the final grade. The marks from homework, lab exams, quizzes, etc. can contribute to the midterm score. All exams are evaluated over 100 points. In order to be successful in the undergraduate program, students must score at least 40 points in the final exam. Students who receive one of these grades are considered successful: AA, BA, BB, CB and CC. However, for the students with an overall GPA of at least 2.00, DC and DD grades are treated as conditional passes.
