Recognition of Prior LearningThe process of recognition of prior education in Turkish Higher Education Institutions is in its infancy. For this reason, the recognition of prior education has not been fully initiated in all programs of Tekirdağ Namık Kemal University. However, for the compulsory Foreign language course in the curriculum of the departments, students who have taken this course from the institution they have studied before, have been successful and are judged to have achieved the learning outcomes in this course, and students who have been successful by taking the exemption exam held at the School of Foreign Languages ​​are exempted from 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 120. It is also mandatory for the students to complete their compulsory internship in a specified duration and quality.
Program ProfileIn our program, our art branches and motifs from the past are combined with today's technology and opportunities, and new works are produced with a modern perspective, and our students master the subjects such as art history and aesthetics. They become individuals who not only produce art but also have artistic sensitivity and protect our arts, which are about to disappear in the face of industrialization. It is as important as producing art to support art and to be an art buyer. As a result of the education received here, the student has a certain artistic level and aesthetic perception.
Occupational Profiles of Graduatesour graduates can work as designers in factories in artistic production workshops or as art producers in private workshops.
Access To Upper Degree
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.
