History

Department of Computer Science started offering undergraduate program in 2012-2013 academic year and the language of instruction is Turkish and only formal education program is provided. Besides the professional knowledge in Soft Computing, Data Mining, Intelligent Systems, Fuzzy Logic and Management Support Systems, the degree program in the Deparment of Computer Science also provides its graduates knowledge in Statistics, Computer Engineering and Mathematics.

Qualification Awarded

Computer Science

Level of Qualification

First Cycle (Bachelor's Degree)

Specific Admission Requirements

High school diploma, placement through a nation-wide Student Selection Examination.

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

For students who intend to transfer to Dokuz Eylül University from universities in Turkey and in foreign countries, the articles of Regulation on the principles of student transfer between programs at associate and undergraduate degrees in higher education institutions, double major and minor program standards and principles on credit transfers between institutions as well as the Evaluation Criteria on Student Transfer determined by Dokuz Eylül University Senate are implemented.
The vertical transfers of the graduates of Vocational Schools to undergraduate programs related to their completed programs are subject to the rules of Regulation on the continuation of the graduates of Vocational Schools and Distant Learning Programs to undergraduate programs.

Qualification Requirements and Regulations

To graduate from this 4 year program, students are required to successfully complete all courses and satisfy a minimum of 240 ECTS credits. The students also need to complete the 32 weekdays practical training program, complete the graduation project and have a cumulative grade point average of a minimum of 2.00 / 4.00.

Profile of the Programme

Recently, concepts such as Soft Computing, Data Mining, Intelligent Systems, Fuzzy Logic, Fuzzy Sets, and Management Support Systems have begun to be used successfully in Medicine, Economics, Social and so on areas. The aim of the program is to train graduates who would investigate and develop the above-mentioned current scientific technologies and use them in practice. Almost every enterprise and scientific organization accumulate a large extents of data in their computing environment. Graduates of this program are expected to generate new information by analyzing and evaluating this data. On top of professional expertise, the alumni will gain knowledge in areas such as Statistics, Computer Engineering and Mathematics as well.
In addition to professional educational activities, the department is also actively involved in applied and theoretical research. Successful students of the program may also complete Minor Program in Department of Statistics and Mathematics. Students who successfully complete the Minor Program receive a certificate in the second program. In addition, students who successfully carry out the undergraduate program of our department, they can also do in Biology, Physics, Statistics, Chemistry and Mathematics in accordance with the Regulation on the Principles of Transfer between Associate and Undergraduate Degree Programs in Higher Education Institutions, Double Major, Minor and Inter-Institutional Credit Transfer.
The Bologna Process (European Higher Education Area compliance studies) is underway in the department that will allow citizens of countries from European Higher Education Area to have easier access to get higher education and to work within Europe. During the Bologna compliance studies conducted in the department, the aims and outcomes of the Computer Science program that was set are updated in parallel to the focus group interview and the European Education Area principles. Diploma supplements are provided to graduates since 2012. The university received the Diploma Supplement Label in 2012. Studies on receiving the ECTS Label are currently underway.
The department aims to form bilateral agreements with internationally renowned institutions for student and staff exchange to improve the knowledge and experience gained. In this context, the department has 1 bilateral agreements within the scopes of ERASMUS Student and Staff Exchange Program with FACHHOCHSCHULE KAISERSLAUTERN University in Zweibrücken-Germany.
