| FOUNDATION & HISTORY |
 |
The department of Metalurgical and Materials Engineering was founded in 2003. Education was started in 2007.The department aims at providing its students with a broad knowledge in all fields of Metallurgy and Materials, developing students ability to determine and solve engineering problems, educating students to have sufficient knowledge and experience on Metallurgy and Materials Science.
The students qualified for education in the department are required to complete successfully a one-year of English preparation course before proceeding to the department. The students who have completed the department with a grade above average may apply for postgraduate studies in a variety of fields in the department.We have P.G. program which was started in 2007. |

| RECOGNATION of PRIOR LEARNING |
|
The "Directive on Recognition of Prior Learning", Senate Decision No. 340 issued on July 28, 2023, has been accepted and entered into force regarding the students registered in all programs of Karadeniz Technical University to determine the principles to be followed for the recognition, crediting, and adaptation of the achievements acquired by the students at non-university institutions.
In this Directive,
- recognition of knowledge, skills, and competencies acquired with special interest through an exemption exam to be substituted as program courses,
- recognition of workplace and internship experiences through portfolio evaluation to be substituted as program courses,
- and the crediting of certificates received from accredited institutions regarding students' special interests are covered.
Announcements of courses included in the scope of recognition of prior learning, applications, and evaluation will be made on the dates specified in the academic calendar.
Recognition of prior learning will offer numerous benefits to our students and employers. For our students, increasing professional development and mobility in the labour market, preventing repetition of education and waste of time, providing early graduation, reducing the cost of learning, encouraging learning, and increasing the student's motivation and self-confidence can be counted among the benefits of recognition of prior learning. From the employers' perspectives, it will contribute to satisfying skill or competence deficiencies in the workplace, reducing the time employees spend outside the workplace for training purposes, and thus using resources more efficiently. |
