| 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. |

| OCCUPATIONAL PROFILES of GRADUATES |
|
A physics degree is a great start to prepare for work as a physicist. Physicists work in labs doing research and carrying out experiments. Sometimes, they will have to write reports detailing their findings or grants to request more money for research.
Medical Researcher
Those with physics degrees often enter the medical research field. They tend to do research on improving medical care through improved technology, like using lasers and X-rays to diagnose and treat various diseases.
Teaching
Physics majors may choose a career in teaching and become a science or computer science teacher at the high school or college level.
Nuclear Physics
Physics degrees can prepare individuals to work with nuclear power. These individuals may work in building or maintaining nuclear power plants or research ways nuclear power can be used to improve medical care, such as seeing inside the body without surgery.
Financial Services
The logic and mathematical knowledge required for a person to earn a physics degree is well respected by financial companies. They may hire a person with a physics degree to work as a financial analyst. |
