First Cycle
Specific Admission Requirements
Students who have a high school diploma or an equivalent school diploma and get enough relevant field score in the examinations conducted by the Student Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM) and who prefer our department are placed in Nişantaşı University Mechanical Engineering Department by central method depending on the quotas. Students are also accepted to our department from the 3rd semester through vertical transfer (for associate degree graduates) and literal transfer (both from Mechanical Engineering Departments of other universities and from other departments within our university and accepted by the Mechanical Engineering department. These transitions are regulated by a directive and students can only transfer between the diploma programs of different higher education institutions or the diploma programs within the same higher education institution within the framework of the previously announced number and transition conditions.
Specific Arrangements For Recognition Of Prior Learning (Formal, Non-Formal and Informal)
Students can be accepted from institutions whose equivalence is accepted by the High Education Board. Students enrolled in the program may be exempted from the courses they have accomplished in higher education institutions where they previously studied. Students who follow the Optional English Preparatory Class can also choose courses from English programs if they wish. Also; An exemption exam is held at the beginning of each academic year for the Foreign Language course and the courses approved by the Senate and the proposal of the relevant boards. Students who get enough grades from the exemption exam are considered exempt from these courses. On the other hand, all of our students who study at our Faculty of Engineering and Architecture are prepared for real life with the training processes that their seniors will take on-the-job in the relevant sectors that we have contracted in the Spring Semester, as in all our academic units that provide undergraduate education within the scope of our "Professional Practice at Work-IMU" practice, which makes our University different from other universities.
