-In evaluating the success grades, the relative evaluation system is applied in courses where the number of students exceeds 10, and the absolute evaluation system is applied in courses where the number of students is below 10.

-The relative evaluation system measures the success of the student depending on his performance level compared to other students in his class. Regardless of their mid-term grades, students must get at least 45 out of 100 in the final exam in order to pass a course.

The level of the degree is bachelor's degree.

Working type is full time.

The degree they entitled is "Geophysical Engineer".

To oversee the quality of higher education programs;

- YÖK is responsible for planning, organizing, managing and supervising education and training and other activities in higher education institutions.

- "University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports" of higher education institutions prepared within the framework of the criteria determined by YÖK are published every year. The reports prepared according to these reports, including quantitative and qualitative evaluations of higher education institutions, are shared with the public by YÖK.

- "Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report" containing academic, administrative and financial data of foundation higher education institutions is published annually by CoHE. These reports, which include quantitative and qualitative evaluations of foundation higher education institutions, are shared with the public by YÖK. Quality assurance of undergraduate programs in higher education is ensured according to the "Procedures and Principles for Ensuring Quality Assurance of Higher Education Diploma Programs":

1. Creation and Approval of Curricula: YÖK determines the minimum standards and criteria required for the opening of undergraduate departments and programs in higher education institutions.

1.1. The curriculum of undergraduate programs in higher education institutions and the learning outcomes that each program will provide to the student are determined by the senates of higher education institutions in accordance with the basic principles determined by YÖK on these issues.

1.2. The curricula of the National Core Curricula are adopted by the relevant Council of Deans and implemented by higher education institutions with the approval of the Council of Higher Education.

2. Assessment and Evaluation: The measurement and evaluation of the learning outcomes of each undergraduate program is carried out according to the teaching and examination regulations prepared by higher education institutions in accordance with the basic principles determined by YÖK on these issues.

3. Certification: Students enrolled in undergraduate programs, if they successfully complete the course credits and other obligations determined by higher education institutions; receive a bachelor's diploma.

4. Self-Assessment-External Evaluation: Higher education institutions, in the context of continuous monitoring, enter the "Institutional Internal Evaluation Reports" of the previous year into the Information System prepared by the Higher Education Quality Council (YÖKAK) at the beginning of each year. YÖKAK shares the "Institutional Feedback Report" prepared for the external evaluation of higher education institutions with the public. In addition, accreditation decisions issued by accreditation bodies authorized or recognized by YÖKAK also indicate that the quality assurance of the qualifications of the programs is ensured. YÖKAK conducts regular review activities regarding the qualifications determined in accordance with the legislation.

• To have a high school or equivalent school diploma,
• To complete the processes determined by ÖSYM within the framework of the academic and legal legislation of the university / to have passed the exams and to have sufficient language skills for English education.

Geophysicists work in various fields in the public and private sectors. They perform their duties in various institutions in the public sector, especially the General Directorate of Mining Technical Exploration, TPAO General Directorate, State Hydraulic Works General Directorate, Public Works Directorates, Municipalities and Universities. While they can open their own private offices, they also work in local and foreign private exploration and ground investigation companies.
