Program Information
Qualification Awarded
The students who successfully complete the program are awarded the degree of Bachelor of Science in Artificial Intelligence Engineering.
Level of Qualification
This is a First Cycle (Bachelor’s Degree) program.
Specific Admission Requirements
In the framework of the regulations set by Higher Education Council of Turkey (YÖK), student admission for this undergraduate program is made through a university entrance examination called YKS. Following the submission of students’ academic program preferences, Student Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM) places the students to the relevant program according to the score they get from ÖSYS.
International students are accepted to this undergraduate program according to the score of one of the international exams they take such as SAT, ACT and so on, or according to their high school diploma score.
Exchange student admission is made according to the requirements determined by bilateral agreements signed by NEU and the partner university.
Visiting students can enroll for the courses offered in this program upon the confirmation of the related academic unit. Additionally, they need to prove their English language level since the medium of instruction of the program is English.
Qualification Requirements and Regulations
The students studying in this undergraduate program are required to have a Cumulative Grade Points Average (CGPA) 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 251. It is also mandatory for the students to complete their compulsory internship in a specified duration and quality.
Recognition of Prior Learning
At Near East University, full-time students can be exempted from some courses within the framework of the related bylaws. If the content of the course previously taken in another institution is equivalent to the course offered at NEU, then the student can be exempted from this course with the approval of the related faculty/graduate school after the evaluation of the course content.
Profile of the Program
The program's goal is to equip its graduates with both the fundamental scientific principles that underpin the key artificial intelligence technologies in use today and the engineering skills that enable those principles to be applied in practice. Upon graduation, students should be equipped to pursue a career as artificial intelligence professionals or, if they so wish, to pursue further academic studies. The graduates will be professionals who can be flexible and integrate in a relatively short time into a wide-range of different sectors of the industry.
