The Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Program was established on April 24, 2025, following a proposed amendment by the Council of Higher Education. With the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence applications in industry, the establishment of the Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Program became essential to meet the need for qualified personnel in line with sectoral needs.

This program is subject to 120 ECTS credits first cycle degree system in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence area of higher education. Will be given the degree of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence System operator (level 5) when the program successfully completed and completed a 30-day internship at the workplace.

Short Cycle

In accordance with relevant legislation of the HEC is determined by SSPC.

The provisions in “Regulation on Transfer among Associate and Undergraduate Degree Programs, Double Major, and Subspecialty and the Principals of Credit Transfer among Institutions in Higher Education Institutions” are applied.

To obtain short cycle degree in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Program, students must achieve all of the general and elective courses (a total of 120 ETCS) which are required for the program, general weighted grade point average must be at least 2.0 on a 4.00 and must have completed a 30-day internship.

In addition to theoretical courses, the program is supported by laboratory work and projects, enabling students to develop innovative solutions to real-world problems. Graduates have career opportunities in various fields, including the design and development of robotic systems, artificial intelligence development, R&D, automation and industrial control systems, and entrepreneurship. This associate degree program aims to develop individuals with advanced knowledge in technology and innovation, as well as creative and analytical thinking.

Students, in accordance with relevant legislation created by Higher Education Council, switches to the horizontal and vertical.

Every student must register to courses at the beginning of each semester, and must be continued theoretical courses at least 70%, applications at least 80% for to take final exam. Students for each course at least one midterm and final exam are subjected to. The midterm exam contribution (as the midterm grade homework, laboratory exams, quizzes, etc. can be evaluated in the scores obtained from measuring instruments) is 40% and the final exam contribution is 60% for the success grade. All exams are evaluated over 100 points. Final exam are required to obtain at least 50 points. Students, which have received one of the letter grade AA, BA, BB, CB and CC, are considered successful from that course. DC and DD notes are notes that are conditionally successful. For to become successful from a course which the student´s grade is DC or DD, overall weighted grade point average must be at least 2.0.

To obtain short cycle degree in Mechatronic Program, students must achieve all of the general and elective courses (a total of 120 ETCS) which are required for the program, general weighted grade point average must be at least 2.0 on a 4.00 and must have completed a 30-day internship.
