Recognition of Prior LearningThe 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 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 ProfileRadio, television and cinema are means of meaning and expression that can convey emotions, thoughts and ideas, open doors to new worlds, bring everything different together, eliminate distances and cultural differences, and most importantly, directly address the human spirit, as well as witnessing their era. With the Radio, Television and Cinema program, we aim to train qualified personnel who can meet the qualified employment gap of our country. In short, the educational focus of the program is to train art people who can work professionally in the mass communication system, which is one of the main determinants of social life. The main aim is to train competent young people who can analyze and use the written, verbal and visual tools used in the communication process in the social context, and who can design and implement communication from scientific and aesthetic perspectives. The Department of Radio, Television and Cinema will make significant contributions to the strengthening of the artistic side of the society.
Occupational Profiles of GraduatesUpon graduation, there are employment opportunities in the field of Radio, Television and Cinema. There are employment opportunities in areas such as TV program production, directing, content production and post production in private media production companies, TV channels and digital media platforms. At the same time, there are employment opportunities in the Press, Broadcasting and Public Relations departments at state institutions.
Access To Upper DegreeUpon 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 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.

The regulations can be found on http://oidb.nku.edu.tr/yonetmenlik/2011eos.pdf.

Final and retake grades are submitted to the Student Affairs along with the evaluation criteria. The grades are announced on the student information system.
