The program language is English. Those students, who fail to pass the English Proficiency Test, must attend the English Preparatory Class. The education was conducted in the classical system until 2007, but after the 2007-2008 academic year, the Project / Problem-Based Learning system was adopted. Currently, based on a relative grading system; group and individual applications, written exams with assignments and project based evaluation are used. Since its establishment, Formal Education program has been implemented. In addition to Undergraduate Education, Master and PhD programs in Computer Engineering are offered at the Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences. The language of graduate programs is English.
