Registration Acceptance Conditions
Those who have successfully completed their secondary education are eligible.
Recognition of Prior Learning
The process of recognition of prior education by Turkish higher education institutions is still in its incipient stage. Likewise, the recognition of prior education has neither been started nor implemented by all departments at Tekirdag Namik Kemal University. However, a proficiency exam is held at the beginning of each academic year regarding the compulsory Foreign Language Course which is to be offered in the curriculum of all departments. The students who have embarked on a self-learning period or acquired necessary skills in the course are eligible to enter this exam. Those who have successfully passed the exam are eligible not to take the course.
Degree Requirements and Rules
The students studying in this undergraduate program are required to have a Cumulative Grade Points Average (Cum.GPA) of not less than 2.00/4.00 and have completed all the courses with at least a letter grade of DD/S in the program in order to graduate. The minimum number of ECTS credits required for graduation is 240. It is also mandatory for the students to complete their compulsory internship in a specified duration and quality.
Program Profile
Aim of the undergraduate program in Department of Chemistry is to provide students with a strong background in fundamental areas of theoretical and applied chemistry and to prepare them for careers in related fields of industry or in academic institutions for post-graduate studies.
Occupational Profiles of Graduates
Graduates of the chemistry program are admitted to graduate programs of universities and research institutions either in Turkey or abroad, they may also be occupied in companies making R&D activities in various fields.
Access To Upper Degree
Upon successful completion of their undergraduate programme of study, the students are encouraged to embark on advanced academic studies on the graduate level (master’s and doctoral) on condition of having received the required score in ALES exam and possessing sufficient knowledge of English or another foreign language.
Exams, Assessment and Grading
Students will take a minimum of one midterm examination. In addition to midterms, they will be assigned projects and homeworks whose deadlines will be specified at the beginning of the semester. At the end of each semester, the students are required to take a final examination. The course content, the requirements (midterm, project, assignment and final examination) and their contribution to the final grade is specified on the website. Student regulations and the final examination dates are determined by the university and final examinations take place as announced. The students are graded according to their midterm, project, assignment and final examination results.
The passing grade at Tekirdağ Namık Kemal University is 60 out of 100. However, the grade of the final examination or the retake should be a minimum of 50. Exams are evaluated on a scale of 100. The final grade of a course is the sum total of %30 of the midterm grade and %70 of the final or the retake examination grades. However, the calculation of the final grade of a course can be determined and announced at the beginning of the semester by the Faculty/College Council as the sum total of ranging between %30 – %50 of the midterm examination and %50 – %70 of the final examination as long as the addition equals to a scale of 100. As a result of the calculation, if the value after the decimal is less than five, the grade is finalized by lowering it to the decimal value; if more than five, upgrading it to the next decimal value.
Final and retake grades are submitted to the Student Affairs along with the evaluation criteria. The grades are announced on the student information system.
Grades
The grading system to evaluate the student performance is signified by the values in the chart below. For each course students are graded by letters. Letter grades, coefficients and ratios are as follows:

Students are required to retake the courses from which they received DD, FD or FF during the first oncoming semester in which these courses are offered.
Successful Students
Students who complete their associate or undergraduate degree with a grade point average of 3.00 – 3.49 graduate as honor students; 3.50 and above as high honor students.
Graduation Requirements
Having completed the IME (Vocational Education in the Workplace) Program, which must be completed in a program to be selected in large numbers to graduate from the Chemistry Undergraduate Program. The student must complete 240 ECTS to graduate.
