Amendment to Demiroğlu Bilim University Associate and Undergraduate Education, Training and Examination Regulation

This regulation, published on March 26, 2026 in Official Gazette No. 33205, amends the existing Education, Training and Examination Regulation of Demiroğlu Bilim University for associate and undergraduate programs. The amendment introduces formal provisions for double major (çift anadal) and minor (yan dal) programs, aligning the university's internal rules with the national Higher Education Institutions Regulation on inter-program transitions and credit transfers. Under the new provisions added to Article 15, double major programs may be opened upon recommendation of relevant departments and faculty/school boards, subject to Senate approval. Students wishing to pursue a double major in programs that require a success ranking must meet the ranking threshold set by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) at the time of enrollment. Minor programs may similarly be established by faculty/school administrative boards and approved by the Senate, with terms and conditions determined by the Senate in accordance with national regulations. Article 17 is updated to explicitly include 'Minor Programs' alongside 'Double Major' in the relevant provision. Article 19 is fully rewritten to clarify mandatory courses: Atatürk's Principles and History of Revolution, Turkish Language, a foreign language, and occupational health and safety (for faculties training graduates eligible to become workplace safety specialists under Law No. 6331) are all compulsory. Physical education or fine arts courses remain optional but must be offered. All these courses must be scheduled and delivered over a minimum of two semesters.
