A student arriving through the ÖSYM examination or by undergraduate transfer can substitute courses taken in a quitted previous higher education program. The substitution of the courses taken in a previous program, its equivalency and suitability with the courses in the program are evaluated at the Departmental and Engineering Faculty Boards. In case of approval of subtitution, the course is substituted with its letter grade. In case of vertical transfer the course is substituted with M (Exempt) grade. Grade is converted to a letter at graduation.
Evaluation and assessment methods used for each course are defined according to Article 22 of the Undergraduate Education and Examination Regulation (link: http://mevzuat.basbakanlik.gov.tr/Metin.Aspx?MevzuatKod=8.5.15287&MevzuatIliski=0&sourceXmlSearch=).

A great majority of our graduates can find a job within 6 months of graduation. Also 30 % of our graduates start their career in one of their Coop companies. Our graduates mostly occupy Electronics, Defense, Space/Aviation, Telecommunications and Information Technologies sectors. Companies like ASELSAN , ROKETSAN, TÜBİTAK, TAİ, ARÇELİK, TÜRK TELEKOM and HAVELSAN are the ones that employ most of our graduates. Our graduates usually work as R&D/Design, System, Production or Test engineers. A 10 % of our graduates have either founded their hi-tech start-up companies or work in their family ventures.
Candidates that successfully finished their Bachelor's program are required to obtain a minimum 55/100 ALES score and a minimum 50/100 English score in order to be accepted to graduate programs. The graduate school also provides tuition remission and stipend to a limited number of candidates with higher scores. International candidates can also apply with a GRE score instead of ALES.
