: Marine Transportation Engineering

General Description

History

Maritime Faculty started education in 1988 with the title School of Maritime Business and Management in the body of the Dokuz Eylul University as the first higher education school in Turkey concerning maritime business. Medium of instruction of the Faculty is English and main aim is to meet the qualified manpower requirements of the Turkish maritime industry. When the department was founded in 1995, its official name was Nautical Science or Deck Department. Department curriculum covers International Maritime Organization (IMO) STCW Convention Table A-II/1 and A-II/2 fields and also required engineering courses. The first students enrolled to the department in 1995-1996 academic year. The first graduates were given in 1999 and in the same year the first women student enrolled. The department moved to its new facilities in Tınaztepe Campus in 2002. The graduates have the right to sit for the Oceangoing Watchkeeping Officer exam held by the Republic of Turkey Ministry of Transport, Maritime Affairs and Communications. After the School of Maritime Business and Management turned into Maritime Faculty in 2009, the departments name became Marine Transportation Engineering. In 2011-2012 academic year a joint degree program with Maine Maritime Academy was started. The Marine Transportation Engineering Department has masters and doctoral programs named Maritime Safety, Security and Environmental Management under the Graduate School of Social Sciences.

Specific Arrangements for Recognition of Prior Learning (Formal, Non-Formal and Informal)

In Turkish Higher Education institutions, the recognition of previous formal education and lateral and vertical transfers and transfers within the university are carried out within the scope of the assessment criteria determined by the Senate of our University and the REGULATION ON THE PRINCIPLES CONCERNING TRANSFER, DOUBLE MAJOR, MINOR AND CREDIT TRANSFER BETWEEN INSTITUTIONS AT UPPER SECONDARY EDUCATION AND UNDERGRADUATE LEVEL.
(1) In lateral transfers to the Maritime Faculty, the provisions of the Regulation on the Principles Concerning Transfer, Double Major, Minor and Credit Transfer between Institutions at Upper Secondary Education and Undergraduate Level, published in the Official Gazzette dated 24/4/2010 No. 27561.
(2) In vertical transfers to the Maritime Faculty, the provisions of the Regulation on the Continuation of Graduates of Vocational Schools and Open Learning Upper Secondary Education with Undergraduate Programs, published in the Official Gazzette dated 19/2/2002 and No. 24676.
(3) In the transfers of those who completed or those who could not complete their undergraduate education to vocational schools, the provisions of the Regulation on Awarding Upper Secondary Education Diploma to those who could or could not complete their Undergraduate Education or Adjustment of those who could or could not complete their Undergraduate Education to Vocational Schools, published in the Official Gazzette dated 18/3/1989 and No. 20112.
In Turkey, the recognition of in-formal and non-formal education is yet on the onset. Therefore, the recognition of previous education has not been fully initiated in all programs at Dokuz Eylül University. However, if the student has successfully completed some of the courses in the program in the institutions where s/he previously studied, s/he can be exempted from all or some of these courses in line with the opinion of the adjustment commission.
