10 ACADEMIC REGULATIONS 10

11 ACADEMIC REGULATIONS This section of the Handbook gives a summary of the undergraduate academic regulations, which are published in full detail on the University web site. It is important to read the regulations fully and carefully and be aware of your rights and responsibilities. DEGREE PROGRAMS All undergraduate programs at İstanbul Bilgi University are semester-based, with the exception of the Honors programs in which courses are offered on a yearly basis. Undergraduate programs consist of (required) core courses and electives. Electives are either free (from the Full List) or restricted (departmental). Students are responsible for taking courses required by the degree program in which they are registered. Elective courses are selected by the student and approved by the adviser, taking into consideration the areas of interest of the student. Students whose level of English is insufficient are required to enroll in the English Language Preparatory Program before they begin their degree programs. MAXIMUM PERIOD OF MATRICULATION Undergraduate degree programs are 4 years (8 semesters) and School of Advanced Vocational Studies programs are 2 years (4 semesters) in duration. The maximum period of matriculation for students in undergraduate programs is 7 years (or 14 semesters). For students in the programs of the School of Advanced Vocational Studies and the Vocational School of Justice this period is 4 years (or 8 semesters). The time spent at the English Preparatory Program is not included in these periods. Students are required to complete the English Preparatory Program within a maximum of two years. Students who exceed the maximum period of matriculation are dismissed from the University. However, students who fail to graduate within the maximum period of matriculation are subject to article 44 of the Higher Education Law (Code no. 2547) according to which a final year student may take additional examinations. For transfer students, the period of matriculation at other universities is added to the period of matriculation at BİLGİ. COURSE CREDITS AND COURSE LOADS The minimum credit load for a student during one semester is 12 credits. When necessary, and with the decision of the Faculty Executive Board, the minimum credit load may be reduced. The minimum credit rule is not applicable to students with a maximum of two semesters remaining to graduation. Important note: The credit load of first-year courses that cover 2 semesters is calculated by dividing the credit of the second-semester course by two. For example: The credit load of COMP 149 (0 credit) and COMP 150 (16 credit) is calculated as 8 for COMP 149 and 8 for COMP 150. EXTRA CREDIT LOAD Students who are in good academic standing (Refer also to PROGRESSION RULES AND PROBATION ) may take additional credits over a particular semester s normal credit load as an overload. For students taking an overload in a particular semester the total semester credit load may not exceed 27. Only in cases where the additional course load does not exceed 3 or the additional credit load does not exceed 9 may the 27 credit limit be exceeded. In the case of a scheduling conflict or exceeding the maximum allowable credit load, students must give priority to courses repeated rather than those to be taken for the first time. BİLGİ CREDITS AND ECTS CREDITS İstanbul Bilgi University utilizes a credit system similar to systems used elsewhere in Turkey and in North America, which is based on lecture hours (1 credit point is equivalent to 1 semester lecture hour). Most courses carry 3 credits. In addition, in compliance with the Erasmus European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS), each course is also assigned ECTS credits based on student workload. The ECTS system allows international students, especially Erasmus exchange students, to select their courses, the credits of which can easily be transferred to their home universities at the completion of their exchange program at BİLGİ. ATTENDANCE AND EXAMINATIONS At İstanbul Bilgi University attendance at lectures, classes, other academic activities and examinations is compulsory. The course instructor assesses the attendance of students. For each course the instructor advises students at the beginning of each semester with regard to the requirements for midterm examinations, papers and other assignments, conditions for admission to final examinations, and the weighting of midterm examinations, assignments and other studies in the calculation of the final course grade. Other than laboratory courses, projects and the like, which by their nature do not require an 11

12 ACADEMIC REGULATIONS examination, a final examination is commonly given in all courses. Students are required to take final examinations if scheduled and such examinations are given on the dates specified in the Academic Calendar. Students who do not take the semester final examination of a particular course receive the letter grade NP. The NP grades of students who do not present valid extenuating circumstances for not attending the final examination are automatically converted to an F. (Refer also to GRADES and EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES.) The course instructor assigns a grade of between 0 and 100 for each course taken by a student and this grade is known as the raw score. The instructor then determines the letter value of the raw score. The overall Grade Point Average (GPA) is calculated according to the numerical equivalents of the letter grades provided below: GRADES Courses not included in the calculation of the GPA but included in the calculation of credits completed are given the letter P for pass and F for fail. Other letters used to indicate the student s course status are: The abbreviation I is given by the instructor to students who were unable to finish projects, theses, papers and other similar requirements of the course due to extenuating circumstances. Students who have received an I have a maximum of two weeks after the end of the examination period to complete their work. The I is automatically replaced by an F for students who have not completed their work within the specified period. The abbreviation NP is given to students who did not take the semester final examination. The NP grades of students who do not present valid extenuating circumstances for not attending the final examination are automatically converted to a grade F. (Refer also to GRADES and EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES.) The abbreviation R indicates that a course has, for some reason, been repeated. The abbreviation W is given to students who have withdrawn from a course within the time period provided by the academic calendar. Students are not permitted to withdraw from the courses they are repeating because of an F grade or from compulsory courses that belong to the academic semester in which they are registered. Students may not apply to withdraw from a course within the last four weeks of the semester. Courses with a W are not included in the calculation of the student s GPA. The abbreviation T is employed for courses of students who have transferred from another institution of higher learning to an undergraduate program at İstanbul Bilgi University or for courses taken by a BİLGİ student at another institution of higher learning and which have been recognized by an authorized body at İstanbul Bilgi University. These courses are included in the overall credit calculation but are not included in the calculation of the cumulative GPA. (Refer also to CREDIT TRANSFER.) The abbreviation E is given by the instructor as a provisional course grade for students whom the instructor decides to give another examination to be offered during the Make-Up Examination period as specified in the Academic Calendar. The final course grade of the student with an E is registered as D if the student passes the E-Examination or as F if the student does not take that examination or fails it. 12

13 ACADEMIC REGULATIONS ANNOUNCEMENT OF GRADES The grades of midterm examinations, homework and other assignments together with the semester final examination grade are calculated by the instructor as the raw score. The instructor notifies the Registrar of the letter equivalent to the numerical score within 7 days following the end of the final examination period and this grade is announced by the Student Affairs Office. Only arithmetic or other such errors may constitute grounds for appealing a grade. Such appeals must be filed with the Student Affairs Office by the student no later than 3 days after the date that the grades were announced. REPEATING A COURSE All F grades must be repeated with the exception of non-credit elective courses. A student who has received an F grade in a compulsory course must repeat the course the first time it is offered again. A student who has received an F grade in an elective course may either repeat the course when offered again or take a different one. If good cause is demonstrated and approved by the Faculty Executive Board, and after obtaining a favorable recommendation from the student s adviser, permission may be granted to the student to repeat the course in the following semester or to withdraw if already registered. The grade for a course which has been repeated or which was taken in place of the failed course replaces the previous F grade, which, nevertheless, remains on all academic records and transcript reports. A student who is in good academic standing or on probation may, at his/her own request and with the approval of his/her adviser, repeat courses with D or D+ or C- grades during his/her course of study. Regardless of the previous grade, the final grade of the repeated course is the official grade. GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA) A student s academic performance is determined at the end of each semester by computing an average of the grades he/she has received up to that point. This average is called the Grade Point Average (GPA). Example: calculation of the GPA The GPA for the grades and credits in the table above is calculated as follows. The total of NVxC is divided by the total number of credits for the semester: ( ) ( ) = = 2.37 PROGRESSION RULES AND PROBATION Students with a GPA of 1.75 or above are considered to be in good academic standing. Students whose GPA falls below 1.75 during any semester are placed on probation for the following semester. Students who are on probation are not allowed to take a total credit load greater than 18. However, if the credit load for a particular semester is greater than 18, a student who is on probation may take a total credit load up to the semester credit load. Students who are on probation may not take part in the administration of student clubs. A student who is on probation and who by the end of the semester fails to increase his/her GPA to 1.75 or above is considered to have made unsatisfactory progress. A student in this situation is not permitted to take any new courses in the following semester and must repeat any previous courses where an F grade was received. Similarly, where necessary, in order to increase the GPA, a student may repeat courses in which D, D+ and C- grades were received. However, if, in a particular semester, a student who is considered to have made unsatisfactory progress is not able to repeat 12 or more credits, he/she may take new courses in addition to the courses he/she is obliged to repeat. The total credit load of such students may not exceed 12 credits. The minimum credit load rule as described under Course and Course Loads does not apply to students who are considered to have made unsatisfactory progress. 13

14 ACADEMIC REGULATIONS Students who have succeeded in raising their GPA to 1.75 or above are removed from probation or unsatisfactory progress status for the following semester. GRADUATION In order to graduate from the undergraduate program a student must attain a minimum GPA of 2.00 within the maximum period of matriculation. Of those who are unable to fulfill such conditions: a) Students with a GPA of 2.00 or higher and who are unable to graduate solely because of having received an F grade in no more than one course may take a supplemental examination in that course. Students who take such a supplemental examination may receive a grade no higher than D. If the student fails the supplemental examination, the course must be repeated. b) Students unable to graduate solely because of a GPA below 2.00 may take a supplemental examination in any one of the courses they have passed in order to increase their GPA. Students who take such a supplemental examination may receive a grade as high as A. Students who, after the supplemental examination, are not successful in increasing their GPA to 2.00 or above are entitled to do so by retaking as many courses as are necessary from the last four semesters within the maximum period of matriculation. c) Students unable to graduate because of a GPA below 2.00 and an F grade in one course only may take a supplemental examination in that course on the condition that their GPA will increase to at least 2.00 if they pass the examination. Students who take such a supplemental examination may receive a grade no higher than D. If the student fails the supplemental examination, the course must be repeated. Students in undergraduate programs who have completed their total credit load with a GPA of 3.50 or higher at the end of the seventh semester and students in the programs of the School of Advanced Vocational Studies who have completed their total credit load with a GPA of 3.50 or higher at the end of the third semester acquire the right to graduate. All other students who have completed their total credit load with a minimum GPA of 2.00 within seven semesters or less (three semesters or less for students in the programs of the School of Advanced Vocational Studies) acquire the right to graduate at the end of the normal period of matriculation (i.e., eight semesters for students in undergraduate programs and four semesters for students in the programs of the School of Advanced Vocational Studies). Students in undergraduate programs who have completed their education in a maximum period of no more than 8 semesters (or 4 semesters for students in the programs of the School of Advanced Vocational Studies) 1 with a GPA of 3.50 or higher are placed on the High Honors list, and with a GPA between 3.00 and 3.49 on the Honors list. The Honors and High Honors status is indicated on a special certificate given along with the diploma. Students who have been subject to disciplinary action lose their rights to any honors. All credit-based and grade-based courses are included in the calculation of the graduation average. DOUBLE MAJORS AND MINORS Double majors and minors are subject to the İstanbul Bilgi University by-laws regarding double majors, minors and honors programs which are published in detail on the University web site. The paragraphs below give a summary of the most important rules regarding double majors and minors. It is important to read the by-laws fully and carefully and be aware of your rights and responsibilities. DOUBLE MAJORS Recently a number of important changes have been made in the by-laws regarding double majors. The changes apply to all students who will start a double major in or thereafter. However, some of the changes do not apply to students who started a double major prior to the academic year CONDITIONS FOR APPLICATION AND ACCEPTANCE TO A DOUBLE MAJOR General Rules: Students may matriculate in two degree programs simultaneously. At the beginning of each academic year the Academic Board decides between which programs students can do a double major. Double majors are not allowed in programs where more than 50% of the compulsory courses overlap. In order to apply for a double major a student must file a petition with the Student Affairs Office. 1 For irregular students this period is 9 semesters (or 5 semesters for students in the programs of the School of Advanced Vocational Studies). Also, the time a student spends abroad as an exchange student is not included in this period. 14

15 ACADEMIC REGULATIONS Applications for a double major are subject to the approval of the Executive Board of the faculty of the second major. Applications for a double major must be made no earlier than the 3rd semester and no later than the 5th. Applications may be made until the beginning of the Add/Drop period of that semester. However, students who, for whatever reasons, lose their double major status are not allowed to apply for a double major a second time. In order to be accepted in a double major, a student must have successfully completed all requirements of the first major for the previous semesters at the time of application and have achieved an overall GPA of at least Acceptance also depends on the availability of places in the second major selected and the student s overall ranking in his/ her first major. Rule that applies only to students who will start a double major in or thereafter: Students are allowed to do a double major and a minor in different degree programs at the same time. Rule that applies only to students who started a double major prior to the academic year : Students are not allowed to do a double major and a minor in different degree programs at the same time. CREDIT LOAD General Rules: Students carrying a double major take all compulsory courses (core courses and departmental electives) of both programs. During a single semester double majors may take up to a maximum of 27 credits. However, this limit may be exceeded if the total number of compulsory course credits for the two programs combined is more than 27. Double majors, on condition of having completed all compulsory courses in both programs, may take free electives up to the 27 credit limit. If the total credits of the compulsory courses of both programs are insufficient to meet the minimum required semester credits for the principal major, the student must take such elective courses as are necessary to make up the difference. Overloads taken beyond the required minimum for the double major during previous semesters may be counted towards the missing required credits. In the course schedule of a student undertaking a double major, courses of the two programs may not conflict unless this has been approved by the adviser. If the programs of both majors contain a senior project or thesis course as core requirement, a student in his/her final year may register for one or both of the senior projects or theses. In case the double major student chooses to undertake only one senior project, then he/she must take two senior level elective courses from the other major, one in each semester. If only one of the programs of both majors contains a senior project or thesis course as core requirement, a student in his/her final year may, with the approval of the Faculty Executive Board of the program in which the senior project or thesis course is a core requirement, prepare a senior project or thesis for the other major instead. Rule that applies only to students who will start a double major in or thereafter: If a double major student does not take any courses from the second major for two consecutive semesters the student loses his/her double major status. PROGRESSION RULES Rules that apply only to students who will start a double major in or thereafter: If, during the course of studies, the overall GPA of a student taking a double major falls below 2.60 twice or the GPA of the second major courses falls below 2.00 twice, the student loses his/her double major status. In the calculation of the second major GPA, only the courses which are a core requirement in the second major program are taken into account. Rules that apply only to students who started a double major prior to the academic year : If at the end of any semester the overall GPA or the GPA of the first or second major courses of a student taking a double major falls below 2.00, the student loses his/her double major status. In the calculation of the first and second major GPA, only the courses which are a core requirement in the program are taken into account. General Rule: Students who lose their double major status continue to matriculate in the principal program of study. GRADUATION Rules that apply only to students who will start a double major in or thereafter: Upon the successful completion of all requirements for the double major, a student acquires the right to receive a diploma for each major. However, in 15

LSE - BİLGİ HONORS PROGRAMS The Department of Economics offers programs that are designed to run parallel with the London School of Economics and Political Science BSc in Economics and Management and BSc in Mathematics and Economics external degrees. Students who wish to transfer to the Honors Programs and who satisfy the entrance requirements should apply after the second semester of their studies. The duration of the Honors Programs is three years and the structure and content are different from those of other programs. As students work towards their BİLGİ Honors degree they also prepare for the examinations of the London School of Economics and Political Science BSc in Economics and Management or BSc in Mathematics and Economics external degrees which are held at the British Council in İstanbul at the end of each academic year. Thus, apart from a BİLGİ degree, Honors Programs students have the opportunity to obtain a London School of Economics and Political Science external degree as well. Every year a committee assigned by the University Executive Board selects a limited number of students from among the applicants. Students who have shown excellent performance in their first year of study may apply to the Honors Programs. Admission criteria are based on the applicant s GPA, grades achieved for courses in the field of economics and management, and the student s motivation. Application criteria are announced by Student Affairs at the beginning of each academic year. Honors Programs courses are offered on a yearly basis. Students who, in a particular year, fail in more than one course are not allowed to progress to the next stage, and the following year repeat only those courses in which they had failed. Students who fail only one course may progress to the next stage and retake the failed course. Students in the Honors Programs have the right to return to the programs from which they transferred. COURSE REGISTRATION Before the start of each semester, students in all undergraduate programs must register for their courses. Short course descriptions for all courses can be found in the online Course Catalog. During course registration, student advisers provide students with advice about their choice of electives. A student s course schedule is subject to the approval of his/her adviser. Students may change elective courses within the Add/Drop period as indicated in the Academic Calendar and with the approval of their adviser. It is important for a student to plan ahead in choosing courses since many of them have prerequisites, special conditions and/or restrictions. Prerequisite: A student can register for the course if he/ she has received a passing grade for the prerequisite(s) listed. Special Condition: A student can register for the course if he/she has previously registered for the course(s) indicated as special condition. Restriction: A student can not register for the course if he/she has received a passing grade for the course(s) indicated as restriction or if the restriction is a core course in the program. Furthermore, a student can not register for the course and the one listed as a restriction at the same time. Students may withdraw from a course within the time period specified in the Academic Calendar. Students are not permitted to withdraw from courses they are repeating because of an F grade or from compulsory courses that belong to the academic semester in which they are registered. Students may not apply to withdraw from a course within the last four weeks of the semester. Satisfaction of all financial responsibilities towards the University is a condition of course registration. Students who have not registered for courses and who have presented documentation of extenuating circumstances, may, until the end of the Add/Drop period, file a petition with the Student Affairs Office. Students whose extenuating circumstances have been accepted by the Rector, may register for courses in the week following the Add/Drop period. Students whose extenuating circumstances were not accepted are not allowed to register. 17

18 ACADEMIC REGULATIONS Nonetheless, their status as a university student and all financial responsibilities towards the University continue. The student status of those who have not registered for two consecutive semesters or whose extenuating circumstances were not accepted, regardless of the semester and without entailing any formal procedure, terminates automatically. Such students shall be notified in writing in such a case. SUMMER SCHOOL Students have the opportunity to take courses in the BİLGİ Summer School. All students, including ÖSYM scholarship students, pay a fee per course. For detailed information, students should refer to the Summer School link on the University web site. Students also have the opportunity to transfer credits of courses taken in the summer schools of other institutions of higher education. Such credit transfer is subject to the rules set by the University and the Faculty Executive Boards. Students who plan to take summer school courses at another institution of higher education are required to obtain permission from their Faculty Executive Board prior to registration for those courses. For detailed information about rules and procedures concerning credit transfer students should contact the Student Affairs Office. THE STUDENT INFORMATION SYSTEM Students have access to the Student Information System via the Internet. Registration and course registration are undertaken on-line and students have the opportunity to obtain information about their weekly course schedules, grades and examination schedules from the Student Page on the Internet. EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES Students may submit information to the Student Affairs Office concerning personal circumstances, which they believe may have affected their performance in the final examinations. They must fill out an extenuating circumstances form (ECF), which can be obtained from the Student Affairs Office, and attach valid documentary evidence of the circumstances described in the ECF. The ECF form and documentary evidence must be submitted to the Student Affairs Office on the termination date of the extenuating circumstance or, for extenuating circumstances based on health-related reasons, within three days following the end-date of the medical report. Students not present at a final examination due to an extenuating circumstance which has been accepted by the University, have the right to take another examination during the Make-Up Examination period as specified in the Academic Calendar. Students not present at a Make-Up examination due to an extenuating circumstance do not have the right to take another examination after the Make-Up Examination period. Students are strongly advised to carefully examine the regulations concerning extenuating circumstances and the submission of medical reports in the İstanbul Bilgi University undergraduate and advanced vocational studies by-laws, which are published on the University web site. WITHDRAWAL FROM A PROGRAM A student may withdraw from the program in which he/she is registered by filing a petition with the Student Affairs Office. Once a student has withdrawn from a program, he/she loses his/her student status and such status may not be reinstated later. However, a student who has withdrawn from a program, and who has not registered with any other institution of higher learning, may retract his/her petition for withdrawal within sixty days of the initial application date. The University Executive Board decides whether or not to grant reinstatement. LEAVE OF ABSENCE If they provide documentation showing good cause, students are entitled to request a leave of absence to suspend their registration for a total of four semesters during their entire period of matriculation including the period spent in the English Preparatory Program. Registration can be suspended for a minimum of one semester and a maximum of two consecutive semesters at a time. The University Executive Board shall independently determine extenuating circumstances periods due to serious and chronic illnesses. Semesters that are suspended are not taken into consideration in calculating the maximum period of matriculation and for the purposes of review of progression. A student requesting the suspension of his/her registration must file a written petition including documentation related to the extenuating circumstances with the Student Affairs Office and pay the tuition fee for the subsequent semester in advance. The deadline for application is the 18

19 ACADEMIC REGULATIONS end of the 7th week of the semester for which the suspension application is made. INTERNAL TRANSFER Students in undergraduate programs who wish to change their department or program must file a request with the Student Affairs Office in accordance with the dates indicated in the Academic Calendar in this Handbook. Applications are considered on the basis of the rules concerning internal transfer set by the University for the year the application is made. Acceptance also depends on the availability of places. For detailed information, students should refer to the İstanbul Bilgi University undergraduate and advanced vocational studies by-laws, which are published on the University web site, or get information from the Student Affairs Office or the departments concerned. TRANSFER FROM SCHOOL OF ADVANCED VOCATIONAL STUDIES PROGRAMS TO UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS Graduates of the School of Advanced Vocational Studies programs who want to transfer to undergraduate programs must take the DGS Central Placement Examination. Students who are interested in continuing their studies should refer to the Student Affairs Office for detailed information. CREDIT TRANSFER The abbreviation T is employed for courses which students who have transferred from another institution of higher learning are transferring to an undergraduate program at İstanbul Bilgi University or for courses taken by a BİLGİ student at another institution of higher learning and which have been recognized by an authorized body at İstanbul Bilgi University. These courses are included in the overall credit calculation but are not included in the calculation of the cumulative GPA. EXCHANGE İstanbul Bilgi University supports two kinds of student exchange program: Erasmus and bilateral. By far the most popular type of exchange takes place under the rubric of the EU Erasmus system where students may spend a semester or full academic year at a European partner university earning credits toward graduation at BİLGİ. Participation in such exchanges is contingent upon application and acceptance by the university-wide Erasmus Exchange Committee. Students selected for such exchanges receive a monthly stipend toward their overseas living expenses during their period of study in Europe. They are exempt from paying tuition to the partner university, but must pay tuition at BİLGİ if they are not on scholarship. Bilateral exchanges take place with partner universities outside of the Socrates-Erasmus system, such as those in North America. Students participating in such exchanges do not pay tuition to the partner university but are fully responsible for all travel and living expenses while abroad. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY AND DISCIPLINARY POLICIES Students are expected to familiarize themselves and comply with the rules of conduct, academic regulations, and established practices of the University. Infraction of the code of conduct or academic integrity will result in disciplinary action against the student and may lead to expulsion from the University. CONDUCT IN THE CLASSROOM Students should be in the classroom and ready for class before the instructor arrives. In the case of a student s late arrival to class, misconduct during the lecture or departure from the classroom prior to the conclusion of the lecture, the instructor reserves the right to take disciplinary action. Repetition of such conduct and refusal to comply with the code may result in suspension for one semester. CONDUCT IN THE EXAMINATION ROOM All students and invigilators must be present in the examination room at the scheduled time. Students are not allowed to enter the examination rooms until the invigilators arrive and give them permission to enter. Students enter the examination room by roll call and identification check. Students who arrive more than 15 minutes late are not allowed to take the examination. Students are not permitted to bring textbooks, dictionaries or notes into the examination room unless instructed otherwise. All answers are to be written in examination booklets distributed by the invigilators. At the end of the examination, invigilators shall collect the booklets. Students are not allowed to take the booklets out of the examination room. CHEATING AND PLAGIARISM Cheating and plagiarism are acts that call for both failure in the relevant component of the course and disciplinary action. Cheating, attempting to cheat, and plagiarism of any kind will be officially recorded by the academic staff and reported to the Student Affairs Office which will refer the case to the relevant Faculty for disciplinary action. 19

23 FACULTY OF ARCHITECTURE Prof. Dr. İhsan Bilgin Dean In 2005, the MArch Program in Architectural Design was founded as a joint project by Turkey s leading academicians and architectural designers, and in the academic year , İstanbul Bilgi University Faculty of Architecture was established. Education in BİLGİ Architecture undergraduate and graduate programs takes place at the Santral Campus. The BİLGİ Faculty of Architecture, which was developed bearing in mind international standards in the field of architecture, aims to provide an interdisciplinary education. Designed according to the interactive model of education, the four-year undergraduate programs provide students with the opportunity to pursue their studies in a high-intensity studio environment. Through exposure to an educational environment open to innovations in technological, social and aesthetic realms, students in the BİLGİ Architecture program are enabled to gain experience through immersion in situations involving contemporary professional practice. Undergraduate programs in the BİLGİ Faculty of Architecture are based on three tracks that are mutually interactive: Digital design-calculation laboratories and workshops Manufacturing and prototyping laboratories and workshops Research, seminars and excursions regarding the contemporary city, architecture and design culture 23

24 DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE BArch in ARCHITECTURE Prof. Dr. Günkut Akın Head and Program Coordinator The rapid increase in the global movement towards urbanization has brought with it very serious problems of ecological and social sustainability. Parallel to this, the question How can we ensure dwelling in peace in the world? has found a place in the center of humanity s agenda. For all these reasons, society s expectations from the profession of architecture have both changed and increased. In the early years of this new era, architecture recalled once again its social responsibilities and the capacity for professional actualization increased incrementally. The BİLGİ Undergraduate Program in Architecture, developed with these realities in mind, provides its students not only with access to abundant resources in the discipline of architecture, but also with the possibility to explore the rich aggregation of knowledge in the social sciences provided by its neighboring faculties. The new form of the profession of architecture, shaped by the dynamics of the 21st century, has made a firm grounding in the social sciences a prerequisite. 24

26 DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR DESIGN BSc in INTERIOR DESIGN Asst. Prof. Dr. İdil Üçer Karababa Head and Program Coordinator The profession of interior design concerns itself with the design of newly built interior spaces and the transformation of architecture that is already in use. Its major aim is to increase the use and aesthetic value of interior spaces, thereby improving the quality of life in them. Presentday urban renewal projects and the problematic of the conversion of the existing building stock have increased the working ground for interior designers. As a consequence, a rational evaluation of the existing design data and the revelation of their hidden potential have become one of the primary concerns of the profession of interior design. The BİLGİ Interior Design Undergraduate Program sees interior design first and foremost as an intervention to the architectural space, as opposed to purely cosmetic make-up, aesthetic camouflage or decoration as yet another component of the fashion industry. The focus of education is on the development of critical skills to evaluate the potential of interior spaces, and on the formulation of creative solutions that are particular to the specific problems. Competent intervention in interior space is ensured by providing the students with the practical knowledge of materials, structural and interior environmental systems and the latest construction and design technologies, as well as by equipping them with contemporary architectural discourse. 26

34 DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE BSc in COMPUTER SCIENCE Assoc. Prof. Dr. Alpaslan Parlakçı Head and Program Coordinator Computer Science is the science of what can be calculated and how it can be calculated. It also provides the theoretical basis for the programming and use of electronic computers, which now affect every aspect of our lives. Our fundamental philosophy is to provide our students a strong mathematical background and help them understand significant results discovered by distinguished computer scientists. This sound theoretical foundation allows them to generalize and abstract a given problem along with its solution, so that it also helps students perform much better in practical computer applications. The program has four critical targets. First, we aim to strongly support our students and provide self confidence so that they can do research in every stage of their education. Second, we try to equip our students with the skills to succeed through team work. For example, we assign many team projects in most of our courses. Third, we aim to help our students become actively involved in some of the projects supported by TÜBİTAK and/or the European Commission in which our department has an active role and/or consultancy. Finally, we also try to provide our students with some social and cultural skills, as they will often serve the needs of society in various aspects. Our courses can be broadly divided into four categories. Firstly, the mathematical basis for computer science is dealt with in our courses on discrete mathematics, logic and computational theory. Secondly, we have courses that deal with the theory of programming, the core of computer science. Thirdly, we have a series of courses which concentrate on applications of computers and more practical programming and the management of program development. Finally, we have a set of elective courses on control systems, artificial intelligence and parallel and distributed systems that deal with the theoretical and applied aspects of computers. Apart from these four categories, other math courses in our core curriculum provide the necessary mathematical infrastructure. Most of our courses have high project content. Students should expect to spend considerable time each term completing projects and assignments which will give them valuable understanding, experience and confidence. In these projects we use many different programming languages, databases and operating systems, avoiding tying our students to any particular language, operating system, database or the products of a single manufacturer. Technology changes very fast, so our courses are designed to give students the confidence and theoretical background to move to new technologies as rapidly as they are introduced. Finally, our graduates will have many opportunities for employment in institutional trading companies, in large or small scale companies that develop software, in the department of information technologies for companies, in the transportation and telecommunication sectors, in the defense industry and in many other industrial fields, in the medical, banking and financial sectors, in insurance, environmental systems, in the branches of sales and consultancy and in many other areas where computers are inevitably used. 34

46 DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY BA in PSYCHOLOGY Prof. Dr. Diane Sunar Head and Program Coordinator Psychology is a wide-ranging, dynamic discipline that includes both scientific investigation and professional applications. On the one hand, it aims to understand how people develop, think and learn, feel and relate to one another; on the other, it aims to help to solve problems that may arise in personal, group and organizational life. Our curriculum is a broad-based, interdisciplinary program designed to acquaint the student with major theoretical and methodological perspectives, as well as with areas of application in psychology. It is also designed to teach skills in the research process. We hope to communicate to our students the excitement of discovery in psychology, along with a critical, analytical and multidisciplinary approach to social issues. In the rapidly globalizing world of the 21st century, psychology graduates are being challenged to apply their knowledge, research skills and analytical abilities to the solution of a wide variety of personal, cultural and intercultural problems. Our program aims to equip our students with the competencies to contribute to this effort. It also lays a solid foundation for those who wish to pursue an advanced degree after graduation. The first year of the program is devoted to exposure to basic ideas in psychology, the social sciences and humanities, and to developing skills in critical thinking and self expression. The second year concentrates on developing a knowledge base in fundamental areas of psychology as well as research methods and statistics. In the final two years, the program offers more specialized courses and departmental electives, allowing the student to follow his or her special interests within psychology. Fourth year students who wish to do so can also complete an individual research project and present the report as a senior thesis. Throughout the four years, students are encouraged to choose some of their electives from other departments in order to broaden their perspectives and develop greater skills in the multidisciplinary approach. 46

48 DEPARTMENT OF SOCIOLOGY BA in SOCIOLOGY Prof. Dr. Arus Yumul Head and Program Coordinator A free society depends for its strength on the capacity of its members to understand the very world that they live in. Revealing the nature of social life is the task of sociology. The discipline offers inspiring and exciting ways of comprehending ourselves, other people and social life in general and enables us to make sense of the rapidly changing world that we are living in. The Sociology program consists of three broad types of courses. The first includes courses that aim to facilitate the development of core sociological knowledge, focusing in particular on theory and research issues. Students are exposed to a pluralistic combination of different theoretical and empirical approaches. The aim here is to provide students with theoretical and methodological tools in understanding and analyzing society and social life. The second consists of more specialized courses such as urbanization, stratification, economic, political and historical sociology, religion, gender, social movements and the like. In these courses not only contemporary issues are emphasized but also their historical, comparative and global dimensions are explored. Finally courses are offered to provide students with an understanding of contemporary Turkish society. These courses are designed to enable students to understand the structure of modern Turkey and to apply sociological thinking to current social trends in society. The program is designed to enable students to relate theory to practice and engage in analysis and research. Students are encouraged and supported by the department to conduct their own independent research. 48

51 FACULTY OF COMMUNICATION Prof. Dr. Nezih Erdoğan Dean Communication in today s world interpenetrates every aspect of social life, and yet it can be called merely a human achievement. In such a communication age, the Faculty of Communication at İstanbul Bilgi University strives for an education that encourages and enables individuals to take control of meaning rather than being controlled by it. The Faculty of Communication puts great emphasis on developing the habit of critical thinking, with the understanding that thinking can be articulated not only through words, but also through images and sounds. As the global and the local have merged with each other in every possible way, the Faculty of Communication acknowledges the significance of curriculum as an ongoing process, simultaneously national and international in character. The Faculty also considers that the exchange and interaction of these national and international values must be taken into account. The Faculty of Communication is intensely aware of the significance of the fact that the process of communication is part and parcel of the apparatus of communication. Consequently, technological innovations are closely observed and quickly adopted, technical facilities are continually upgraded and then efficiently integrated into education and training. The artistic and cultural implications of such innovations are of great interest within our mentality of education. In this regard, the curriculum is continuously updated to provide flexibility and adaptability in order to meet the needs arising from such rapid changes. The distinguishing feature of the Faculty of Communication is that the students of the faculty are offered the opportunity to use their theoretical training in practice. Students are encouraged to participate in genuine job atmospheres that have been established within the faculty. The learning on the job strategy directs students to work in actual PR or advertising agencies, on a real television channel or to take part in publishing, all of which ensures for them a quick adaptation to their future careers. The Faculty of Communication not only employs an inter- and multi-disciplinary perspective in education, it also aims to establish and implement dialogue on a number of levels among its divisions and departments, enabling students to cooperate with other students coming from diverse disciplines and to become acquainted with a wide range of interrelated fields of knowledge: the theory and practice of media, art management, film and television, visual communication design, journalism, photography and video, public relations and advertising. All these fields together constitute a large map of knowledge which assures that students navigate in the appropriate direction in both education and career. 51

60 DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATION BA in MEDIA AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS Prof. Dr. Halil Nalçaoğlu Program Coordinator Our name, Media and Communication Systems, can be seen as a sign of foresight and it summarizes our vision regarding the field since the early years of İstanbul Bilgi University. In the 2000s, communication is regarded as the network of interaction of the complex relationship between the political, economic and social force fields, and not merely an instrument of the social a nerve system, as it were. Media and Communication Systems is a program which has been structured in accordance with this perception, reproducing itself constantly and functioning through the ceaseless observation of the real-life aspect of education, defining itself with a notion of intervention into this dimension. The program offers a variety of courses in Journalism and Media Studies, which are two different but interconnected areas. Media Studies is an inter-disciplinary field, at the intersection of various areas of social theory that are used in the analysis of the relationship between the media and its place in society. The Media and Communication Systems Program also attempts to motivate the students to develop an understanding of social issues arising in Turkey and abroad, to generate projects about these issues and accommodate them with efficient writing skills. This is because, apart from paving the way to a critical, creative and self-reflexive way of thinking, writing enables the realization of ideas and projects on an effective base in the light of these thoughts. Within this framework, our Program motivates the students to produce projects efficiently while enhancing their skills of adaptation in accordance with the rapidly changing conditions. As with all the other departments of İstanbul Bilgi University, our freshman year is devoted to the cultivation of students as free, analytical and critical individuals who possess the perspective and vision that a contemporary undergraduate education calls for. The courses in the sophomore and junior years have a pattern which attempts to integrate theory and practice in a collaborative fashion. In the second term of their third year, our students have the opportunity to produce genuine works as they encounter society. And, if they wish, throughout the entire fourth year they can take an active role in every possible field of this encounter. The news agency of the department, called News Etc., appeals to the entire world, and it is a publication by students under the management of professional editors and reporters: en.habervesaire.com Thanks to the practical courses we offer, on successful completion of the Program our students have the opportunity to avoid the anxiety of entering an alien world as they start their careers. All kinds of news production environments printed, audio-visual, electronic and interactive (and their emergent combinations) are natural fields of professional work for our graduates. In addition, media planning, press advisorship, text writing, public relations and marketing communication expertise, customer representation, social research, editorship and administrative posts for all these professional fields as well as careers in the academic world as media scholars and critics can be thought of as potential career opportunities. The Media and Communication Systems Program undertakes the greatest efforts to train students with the aforementioned qualifications. 60

62 DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATION BA in PUBLIC RELATIONS Prof. Dr. Nezih Erdoğan Program Coordinator Public relations professionals help organizations build and maintain a good reputation and communicate effectively with employees, the media, community groups and others important to their missions. In today s information-based world, organizations have come to recognize the important role played by communications in the accomplishment of their goals. Today s public relations professionals need to be effective in various implementation areas of public relations and must also have the skills and training to analyze trends, predict consequences and counsel management in achieving success. The program s overall objective is to provide students with the practical, intellectual and analytical skills necessary for working in public relations in corporations, consultancies, government and not-for-profit organizations. The curriculum is designed to provide a balance of theory and practice in order to challenge students to think critically and express themselves with clarity and substance. Owing to the interdisciplinary nature of public relations and its varied applications in society, the program aspires to ground students in disciplines beyond their major area of specialization and diverse liberal arts knowledge. Accordingly, the course sequence firmly emphasizes that public relations act as a bridge linking institutions and individuals. The program decisively prepares students to create information flow and exchange between organizations and their various stakeholders, to develop communication strategies, to establish corporate identity, to provide consulting services and to plan and implement communication campaigns. The students also develop competence in grasping legal and financial structures and thereupon working effectively with these variables in a competitive communications environment. Students are qualified for graduation by specializing in one of three different areas. The first of these, aims to bring students together to create awareness about specific social issues by organizing a public seminar. The students work together in research, planning and implementation of the seminar where specialists from different professions participate. The second alternative offered is the Corporate Social Responsibility Observatory where the student is encouraged to develop his/her ability to conduct research, identify industry trends, and critically analyze companies/projects in terms of CSR. While working towards creating a CSR Almanac, the CSR observers share their findings with various publics using different communication platforms. The third specialization area is the writing of an academic paper, which offers students formal training in academic research, an opportunity to delve more deeply into a specific area of public relations and a learning environment which allows the development of academic skills and research. Along with the lectures related to the specialization area, each student is given training run by a well-known professional public relations agency in a Public Relations Laboratory that aims to provide real-life experience to students. In the laboratory students participate in planning communication strategies under the supervision of public relations professionals. Through supervised work experiences, the students hone their abilities and translate their existing critical thinking, planning, implementation and writing skills into marketable assets. 62

68 DEPARTMENT OF FILM AND TELEVISION BA in FILM AND TELEVISION Asst. Prof. Onur Eroğlu Head and Program Coordinator The Film and Television Department offers a program that rejects the false dichotomy of theory and practice, and rather seeks a blending of the theory of practice and the practice of theory.

The Film and Television Department seeks to enhance education with input from a number of enterprises. It is an active partner in local and international academic networks, with relations with local and international universities, non-academic institutions, professional associations, and initiates a number of periodic events and activities. Throughout their course work students not only enjoy hands-on experience in practicum, but they are also introduced to other aspects of film, television and media as institutions of industry, art and criticism. In order to provide students with a range of tracks for possible specialization, the curriculum is designed so as to provide a degree of flexibility: the number of core courses has been kept to a minimum, whereas the grouping of the elective courses makes it possible for the students to continue on one of the available paths. Such an approach acknowledges students need for an efficient advising service, which the department provides with the utmost care. The completion of the course of study is marked by the submission of a final project. Students are expected to produce a work for their graduation project -which can be a short film or a feature-length screenplay - a work which embodies the culmination of the practical and theoretical education they received in the Film and Television Department. During the course of their education they will also be able to benefit from the university s rich resources: the knowledge and experience of the teaching staff, faculty members and professionals, a large variety of audio-visual materials, fully-equipped broadcast-quality TV studios, computer labs, library and digital data bases. 68

80 DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION BSc in BUSINESS INFORMATICS Murat Albayrakoğlu, MBA, MSITM Program Coordinator Today, almost every social or economic activity, including commerce and management, relies extensively on Information and Communication Technology (ICT). ICT is the fabric that connects individuals and organizations over a networked world. In order to survive and succeed in today s global business environment, every organization should develop appropriate information technology strategies and successfully manage its information and communication resources. Business informatics is an interdisciplinary field combining business administration, economics and computer science. It aims at managing the information and communication resources of a business effectively and efficiently. The Business Informatics Program at BİLGİ provides the necessary theoretical and practical background required for integrating information, technology, business processes and business people to fulfill business requirements. It helps students develop analytical, communicational, decisional and critical-thinking skills, as well as the dynamism required by the ICT industry. Students will learn how to plan, analyze, design, implement and administer information systems within a business context. During the first year of the Program, students are provided with a solid foundation in computer science. In their second year, students continue to build up knowledge and skills in computer science in addition to gaining a firm background in business administration and economics. During the third year, the focus of the curriculum gradually shifts from business courses to business informatics courses: Third-year courses provide students with an understanding of the functions of information systems in organizations and detailed knowledge of information system analysis, design and operation. During the final year, students take a group of capstone courses that synthesize the technical and managerial background provided in the early years of the Program. In this year, elective courses within business informatics or related fields are also offered for specialization in the areas of the students choice. Two summer practices and a two-semester graduation project will give students a chance to become acquainted with the ICT industry, to apply the skills they developed during their study along the program curriculum, and to create a professional network. Throughout the curriculum, business administration courses constitute about 35% of the course load. Computer science and business informatics courses take up 20% of the course load for each field. The remaining 25% is taken up by other areas such as mathematics, economics, electives and the like. 80

84 DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION BA in INTERNATIONAL TRADE AND BUSINESS Asst. Prof. Dr. Cenktan Özyıldırım Program Coordinator Following the acceleration of globalization through technological advancements and changes in economic, social, political and legal environments, domestic companies have become more open to foreign markets, created global brands and engaged in strategic mergers with foreign companies. The businesses, in today s ever-increasing competitive global marketplace, need associates and managers who can analyze the opportunities, threats and risks in global markets, adapt to diverse cultural environments, take a decisive and operative role in international management, marketing, finance and all other strategic positions. The International Trade and Business Program aims to graduate professionals who will have the practical skills and theoretical background to be successful in this competitive and demanding international job market. The interdisciplinary approach of the Program provides students not only the basic business administration courses but also economics, international finance, international relations and law courses. The first two years of the curriculum are devoted to a fundamental understanding of the modern economic and management theories. The last two years of the curriculum focus on international trade theory and best practices by integrating various courses from other disciplines. The priority of the Program is not only to impart knowledge but also to develop communication skills, critical thinking capabilities and personal qualities of the students necessary to be promoted to managerial levels in multinational companies in the current global conditions. 84

86 DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS BA in ECONOMICS Prof. Dr. Hasan Kirmanoğlu Head and Program Coordinator In the light of accelerating technological change, globalization and increasing international competition, comprehending economic phenomena and overcoming economic problems becomes more and more important. The role of economics and economists is widening and penetrating new areas of social relations. The goal of the Department of Economics is to promote a thorough understanding of the economic problems of our time and to develop the research skills of the students. Particular emphasis is placed on equipping students with skills in the use of mathematical and statistical tools as well as basic theories. Our target, however, is at the same time to ensure that our students acquire all the personal attributes demanded by the new global economy.

104 DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER ENGINEERING BSc in COMPUTER ENGINEERING Asst. Prof. Dr. D. Cenk Erdil Head and Program Coordinator Recent scientific and technological advances have changed the operating principles of most applied science fields from the ground up. Computer Engineering is no exception to this phenomenon. In particular, the unprecedented explosion of computing power due to advances in parallel with hardware and middleware, such as grid and cloud computing, sets new equations and changes existing ones in Information Technologies. The resulting increase in demand for communication and computing power and related energy needs forces industry leaders to replace classical engineering solutions with radical approaches never seen before, at the same time still keeping the promise of a sustainable future. Thus, universities have to use new tools and approaches to understand, or at least grasp the need for these radical solutions. At BİLGİ, we will make use of such new technologies to follow the new world order occurring in the Information Technology field. For example, our students will not only know novel cloud computing approaches, newer generation operating systems, databases and other software, but will also be on the developing side of them. More importantly, the Computer Engineering program at BİLGİ will provide a level of self confidence to keep up with new advances. Not only will we know how to use these new tools, we will also know how to contribute to them. The Program curriculum aims to provide necessary skills to apply mathematical, scientific and engineering knowledge to real-world solutions, to design and test, to analyze data and algorithms, design appropriate software, processes or systems on demand, perform in multi-disciplinary environments, define computer engineering problems and devise solutions, and have the global and social senses to understand the large-scale effects of local solutions. 104

110 FACULTY OF LAW 110

111 FACULTY OF LAW Prof. Dr. Turgut Tarhanlı Dean In the last few decades, the nation-state and, of course, its legal system have been faced with the great challenge of globalization. In this context, almost every legal issue can have international or transnational consequences. This is also a challenge for lawyers, who are expected to respond to all the questions that confront them. Under these circumstances, it becomes increasingly difficult to be fully informed on every legal problem. In general, law designs the relations among individuals and institutions, but a lawyer should have the capability to scrutinize those relations on which the law should be based. Consequently, legal education should not be limited to courses on blackletter law, but should pave the way to achieve knowledge and understanding of social structure, at both national and international levels. Aware of these facts, the BİLGİ Faculty of Law has a distinctive approach to legal education. In its curriculum, the Faculty offers a list of core legal courses through which students may gain the basic knowledge about the structure and substance of law: i.e., Civil Law, Criminal Law, Commercial Law, Constitutional Law, Administrative Law, Civil and Criminal Procedure Law, Public International Law, Human Rights Law, Theory of State, etc. In parallel with these traditional legal courses, a variety of elective courses are also included in the curriculum: i.e., Law of International Organizations, Law and Society, European Union Institutions, EC Competition Law, Law and Psychology, Criminal Justice, Media and Communication Law, Internet Law, Sports Law, International Sales Law, Capital Markets Law, Foreign Investment Law, Competition Law, International Criminal Law, etc. Some of the courses in the electives list are taught in English. Furthermore, BİLGİ Legal Clinic, a two-term course for senior law students and also the first and foremost clinical legal education program in Turkey, which aims to practice the basic legal skills through real legal cases, was also constructed under the above-mentioned parameters in the curriculum. BİLGİ Faculty of Law provides the opportunity for its students to test their knowledge and skills at the international level through tens of exchange agreements concluded with leading European and American Universities. Additionally, as a member of the Laureate International Universities Network which consists of distinguished universities in four continents, İstanbul Bilgi University and the Faculty of Law have considerably developed their capability to provide a variety of exchange programs. 111

122 DEPARTMENT OF NUTRITION AND DIETETICS BSc in NUTRITION AND DIETETICS Asst. Prof. Dr. S. Zeynep Aydenk Köseoğlu Program Coordinator It s an incontestable reality that food and nutrition are highly important subjects in human life. Throughout our lives, from beginning to end, we have to eat. In fact, the more important topics are the answers to questions such as, How much to eat?, How to eat?, What to eat? Dieticians are responsible for finding the answers and providing the solutions to these and similar questions. They study the relationship of food and nutrition to health. Occupational positions and the need for dietitians are increasing because of developing technology and changes in nutrition customs, lack of knowledge about food, and the decrease in food sources that bring about global food crises. According to a research study of Carrier Cost Com, in the USA, dietetics is in 28th place in the list of the 200 most popular occupations. Nutrition is the study of the influence of food intake on health and wellbeing; dietetics is the application of nutritional knowledge, particularly tailored to individual needs. Nutrition is of great importance in the primary prevention of disease. The practice of dietetics is mainly based in hospitals, where it focuses on the use of diet in the treatment and management of disease. However, dietitians also play a role in nutrition education in the community. Students will graduate as dieticians after successfully completing the 4-year program in Nutrition and Dietetics. Dieticians must be capable of turning scientific data into practical diet suggestions. The science of nutrition and dietetics covers all the procedures involving food production through food consumption. Graduates can find posts as dietitians in managerial, therapeutic and consultant positions in the operations of food service systems such as hospitals, schools, hotels, commercial food operations, wherever there is a group of people for whom food must be provided. Dietitians also work in a variety of public and private health organizations. 122

Developments in the fields of health and medicine and an awareness of the concept of quality of life, along with the establishment within society of an understanding of health issues, have resulted in a world in which the percentage of the aging population has increased and in which handicapped children have a better chance of survival. For all these reasons, there is a world-wide, daily increasing need for the profession of physiotherapy. 124

127 SCHOOL OF ADVANCED VOCATIONAL STUDIES Uğur Başer, MBA Acting Director We are living in an era in which everything around us is changing and being rapidly restructured. The orders, traditions and habits of centuries, and even milieus, are disappearing. The contents of our perceptions, feelings and concepts are changing. From economy to politics, from states to international systems, all is being redesigned. Speed is becoming the basic determinant of all events. Finding the fastest ways of travelling, transferring goods and services, and accessing knowledge are our main concerns. It is crucial to transmit our extant necessary knowledge into production processes in the most rapid way. What we need is to equip ourselves with abilities that will help us reach our objectives as quickly as possible. İstanbul Bilgi University School of Advanced Vocational Studies aims at preparing students for their professional life through both academic and professional education. This dual education system is constructed upon the concept of taking the best in the shortest time. While introducing a shortcut to the long way, it is the quality of the academic and the professional staff of İstanbul Bilgi University that guarantees the success of our education system. Since education and professional training are the sectors that are most affected by the dynamism of our times of change, it is unavoidable to replace the traditional understanding of education with the new truths of the century. Within this context, İstanbul Bilgi University School of Advanced Vocational Studies is presenting an educational model that responds to the demands of our times by offering not only a diploma but also the necessary preparedness for professional life. The School of Advanced Vocational Studies offers its students both the ability to use a new language in an increasingly globalizing world and the opportunity to specialize in their fields of interest. The graduates of the programs of the School of Advanced Vocational Studies have the opportunity to continue their academic studies in the related four-year programs of İstanbul Bilgi University or others by taking the DGS Central Placement Exam. Moreover, graduates of programs of the School of Advanced Vocational Studies who wish to continue their studies in the undergraduate program of a foreign university after obtaining the two-year associate degree can complete their four-year education at a school within the Laureate International Universities Network. This project, named Articulation 2+2, also gives the opportunity to the graduates of Business Administration and International Trade Programs to continue their education at Salford and Roehampton Universities. With this global project, the students also have a chance to continue their education for one semester at the universities within Laureate International Universities Network. 127

136 VOCATIONAL SCHOOL OF JUSTICE ACADEMIC STAFF Director: Asst. Prof. Dr. Galma Jahic Full-time Asst. Prof. Dr. Rağıp Barış Erman Asst. Prof. Dr. Galma Jahic Asst. Prof. Dr. Yalçın Tosun 136

137 VOCATIONAL SCHOOL OF JUSTICE Asst. Prof. Dr. Galma Jahic Director Governed by the belief that justice and law are the cornerstone of democratic societies, İstanbul Bilgi University has placed great effort into providing the best education and promoting innovative research in these areas. The Law Faculty was established in 1996; in 2001 two LLM programs started accepting students (Human Rights Law and Business Law); four different research centers that focus on law and legal issues were established; and in 2010, İstanbul Bilgi University Vocational School of Justice is ready to accept its first students. The Vocational School of Justice aims to prepare students for careers in the law and justice sectors in a novel way, by providing high quality training in both law and administrative skills. The curriculum that was developed with this goal in mind includes, on one hand, basic law classes (such as Introduction to Civil Law, Introduction of Criminal Law, Introduction to Commercial law) that will enable the students to understand and deal with a variety of legal and procedural issues that a legal assistant or a paralegal must be familiar with. On the other hand, administration of the legal business is also an important part of the required curriculum, with courses such as Law Firm Management, Accounting, Legal Software, Legal Research and Correspondence being among the core courses of the program. These courses will prepare students to effectively and efficiently undertake different responsibilities in their future careers as paralegals. There is also a strong focus on foreign language (English), which has become a part of every business and is an indispensable skill for anyone looking to broaden their career opportunities. Finally, Justice students will benefit from hundreds of elective courses that are offered at all three BİLGİ campuses, which will allow them to either further specialize in the fields of justice and law, or to broaden their perspectives by taking courses from other fields. In addition to the strong curriculum, the fact that students of the Justice Program will also be a part of BİLGİ s larger law and justice community is important. They will greatly benefit from all the activities that take place at the Law Faculty, including numerous conferences covering a variety of legal issues; they will be able to participate in different projects that are conducted by different research centers, and will have access to an excellent legal collection in the University Library. All this will contribute to their education and experience at BİLGİ. At the Vocational School of Justice we aim to prepare students to be the paralegals and legal assistants of the future, who are equipped with all the necessary skills for working in law firms, legal departments of big local and international businesses, in public institutions and within the legal system, from their very first day on the job. Graduates of the Justice Program will also be able to continue their education at Law Faculties, at İstanbul Bilgi University or elsewhere, by taking the DGS Central Placement Exam. In other words, whether our graduates plan to start building a carrier, or plan to get further education, the Justice Program will be an excellent first step towards that final goal. 137
