BAU Certificate of Expertise

BAU Certificate of Expertise
Click for details

Dear students,

If you take the courses opened for your department within the scope of the BAU Certificate of Expertise, where we have introduced a new extension to the innovative understanding of education so that you can acquire disciplines and competencies other than the fields in which you are studying for a bachelor's degree, you can obtain a certificate next to your diploma. The courses you take in this context; will be evaluated within the scope of the courses you have taken in undergraduate education and their quotas will be limited for each course. The final decision ranking of your registrations to the programs will be determined according to your grade point average (GPA). You will have the opportunity to graduate from our Faculty by checking your elective course slots in and out of the department and choosing from the programs specified as belonging to your department, having acquired a separate specialization in parallel with your discipline with this new educational approach.
