Recognition of Prior LearningThe process of recognising prior learning in Turkish Higher Education Institutions is still in its early stages. For this reason, the recognition of prior learning has not been fully initiated in all programmes of Tekirdağ Namik Kemal University. However, exemption exams are organised at the beginning of each academic year for the compulsory foreign language courses in the curricula of the departments. Students who have completed the learning process of these courses on their own or who think that they have achieved the learning outcomes in these courses in different ways have the right to take these exams. Students who are successful in the exam are exempted from the relevant course in the syllabus.
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 120. It is also mandatory for the students to complete their compulsory internship in a specified duration and quality.
Program ProfileThe aim of the Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Programme is to train qualified technical staff who can combine theoretical knowledge with practical skills in the fields of artificial intelligence, robotic systems and automation technologies, integrate into digital transformation processes, think analytically and produce solutions. The programme aims to contribute to regional development and to create a human resource that can direct technological developments on a national scale through individuals who can adapt to Industry 4.0 and advanced production technologies, have lifelong learning awareness, and observe professional ethical values.
Occupational Profiles of GraduatesOur Graduates,  They can work as technical staff or experts in the fields of design, integration and programming of robotic systems.,  They can work in the development of artificial intelligence-supported systems, data analysis, machine learning applications and autonomous system projects.,  They can transfer to undergraduate programmes with DGS or they can take the opportunity to start their own business.
Access To Upper DegreeThose who successfully complete the Robotics and Artificial Intelligence associate degree programme will have the opportunity to complete a bachelor's degree by enrolling in undergraduate programmes that can be made Vertical Transfer in the guide published by ÖSYM, if they are successful in the Vertical Transfer Examination held by ÖSYM.
Exams, Assessment and Grading

There is at least one midterm exam each semester. In addition to midterms, projects and assignments are given at the beginning of each term, the dates of which are specified in the term content given at the beginning of each term. At the end of each semester, the student has to take the final exam. Criteria (such as midterm, project, homework and final) and their effect on the final grade are clearly stated in the course content distributed at the beginning of the semester and / or published on the website. According to the student regulations and academic calendar, final exams are held on the dates, places and times determined and announced by the university.  The student's final grade is given by the course instructor according to the results of the midterm, project, homework and final exam.

The passing grade at Tekirdag Namik Kemal University is 60 out of 100. However, the final or make-up exam result must be at least 50. Exams are evaluated on a full grade of 100. The semester / year-end grade of a course is the sum of 30% of the arithmetic average of the midterm or midterm exams and 70% of the grade taken in the semester / year-end exam or make-up exam. However, the semester / year-end grade of a course; Provided that a decision is taken by the relevant faculty / school board and announced at the beginning of the semester, it can be calculated between 30% and 50% of the arithmetic average of the midterm or midterm exams, between 70% and 50% of the grade taken in the semester / year-end or make-up exam, and the sum of the rates can be calculated as 100%. As a result of the calculation, if the first number after the decimal point is less than five, it is increased to the lower integer, and if it is five or more than five, it is increased to the upper integer and finalised.

 

The final and make-up grades are submitted to Student Affairs by the course instructor together with the evaluation criteria. Final and make-up grades are published and announced in the student information system.

Notes:

For each course taken, the student is given the following letter grades as semester grades.  Letter grades, coefficient and ratio equivalents are as follows. The grading system taken as basis in the evaluation of students' achievements is expressed in the following grades and letters
