Mühendislik Sistemlerinin Modellenmesi ve Tasarımı (MODES)

The program is developed as a research based interdisciplinary advanced study with interdisciplinary courses and an advanced research study leading to a Ph. D. thesis. Some of the basic motivations of the program are;

- Strengthen research atmosphere in the society by establishing strong and long-lasting relationships between the university and industry through advanced research projects,

- Educate highly qualified researchers to participate in joint projects of the university and industry,

- Provide highly qualified teaching faculty and research experts for universities and research institutions.

The program is designed specially to satisfy the stated motivations and has some unique features:

- Interdisciplinary courses prepare candidates to acquire broad scientific and technological outlook by studying topics in different fields of engineering, science and mathematics. The candidates are challenged to participate in interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary research activities.

- A strong curriculum with Core courses, Focus area courses and Elective courses allows candidates to focus and specialize on a selected specific topic motivated by the candidate or required by his/her institution. 

Education progresses in the forms of formal, open, or distance education. In addition, practical education is provided through internship studies, or professional training at laboratories and workshops within higher education institutions or in the industry, at health care institutions, and workplaces.

1. Measurement and evaluation methods, exam types and their contribution to the course grade are determined by the senates of higher education institutions in accordance with the basic principles determined by the Higher Education Council (YÖK).
2. Various methods are used for the purposes of measurement and evaluation, such as homework, projects, practice sessions, midterm and final exams.
3. Letter- and/ or number-based grading systems are used to evaluate student success.

In order to monitor the quality of higher education programs;

· YÖK is responsible for the planning, organization, management and supervision of education and other activities at higher education institutions.

· “University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports” of higher education institutions are prepared and published every year within the framework of the criteria determined by YÖK. Reports prepared on these documents, containing quantitative and qualitative evaluations for higher education institutions, are publicized by YÖK.

· The “Report on Foundation Higher Education Institutions” which includes academic, administrative and financial data regarding foundation higher education institutions is published annually by YÖK. These reports including quantitative and qualitative evaluations of foundation higher education institutions are publicized by YÖK. Quality assurance of undergraduate programs in higher education is provided according to the “Procedures and Principles on Quality Assurance regarding the Diploma Programs in Higher Education”:

 1. Creation and Authorization of Education Programs:

1.1. YÖK determines the minimum standards and criteria required to initiate undergraduate degree departments and programs at higher education institutions.

1.2. The curricula of undergraduate degree programs at higher education institutions, as well as the learning outcomes to be expected in relation to students are determined by the senates of higher education institutions in accordance with the relevant basic principles determined by YÖK.

1.3. The curricula of National Core Education Programs is implemented by higher education institutions with the approval of YÖK, upon their acceptance by the relevant Council of Deans.

 2. Measurement and Evaluation: The  measurement and evaluation processes on the learning outcomes to be expected for each undergraduate degree program in relation to students are undertaken in accordance with the regulations on education and examination prepared by higher education institutions in accordance with the relevant basic principles determined by YÖK.

3. Documentation: Upon successful completion of their course credits, as well as other obligations determined by higher education institutions, students enrolled in undergraduate degree programs receive a bachelor’s degree.

4. Self-Evaluation - External Evaluation: In the context of continuous monitoring, higher education institutions upload their “Institution Internal Evaluation Reports” of the previous year into the Information System prepared by the Higher Education Quality Board (THEQC) at the beginning of each year. The “Institutional Feedback Report” by THEQC regarding the external evaluation of higher education institutions is then publicized. In addition, accreditation decisions made by accreditation bodies authorized or recognized by THEQC also show that the quality assurance is ensured for the qualifications of these programs. THEQC undertakes regular reviews on the qualifications determined in accordance with their legislation.

Within the framework of the regulations determined by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK), Atılım University admits students on the basis of the Higher Education Institution Examination (YKS) and the Student Transfer Examination (DGS) by the Directorate of Assessment, Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM). After notifying the ÖSYM of their desired programs to pursue, students are placed by the relevant center as per their exam scores into these programs.

Please refer to our Regulations and Directives page for details regarding graduate degree programs, transfer procedures, international student status, and double-major program applications.
