Education Type Tam Zamanlı
Registration Acceptance ConditionsThose who have successfully completed their secondary education are eligible.
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 Profile   The program aims at producing Environmental Engineers who are highly skilled and able to;1. Use fundamental sciences and engineering knowledge in Environmental Engineering and identify, analyze, and discuss the results. 2. Design Environmental products and/or systems by considering economical, technological and environmental limits. 3. Improve her/his personality and job skills sustainably, and reach to the knowledge along with technology, targeting to be successful in industry, R&D projects and/or academia by having the awareness of ethical values. 4. Work in multidisciplinary areas and have communication ability, tend to adapt him/her to working in a group, have mission and responsibility on social and industry necessities.In the education curriculum of Environmental Engineering department, fundamental science and engineering courses and the courses intended to have Environmental engineering knowledge and ability are given in the first four semester. In respect of 5th semester, elective courses are added into the curriculum that can be chosen by the students to improve themselves in specific Environmental engineering areas. In respect of 7th semester, in order to gain practical experineces, Sector Integrated Education programme is included.
Occupational Profiles of Graduates  Environmental Engineers may provide consultancy services for Environmental Risk Assesment and Environmental Impact Assesment projects. Additionally, treatment plant operation, raw material and energy recovery in production are main fields that Environmental Engineers may participate. 
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.
