Regulation Amending the Üsküdar University Graduate Education, Training and Examination Regulation
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This regulation introduces three key amendments to Üsküdar University's graduate education rules. First, it officially defines 'equivalent diploma program' as programs with identical names or those whose content is at least 80% the same as determined by the institute's executive board. Second, it updates horizontal transfer (lateral transfer) rules to allow successful students who have completed at least one semester in another institute department or another higher education institution's graduate program to transfer, provided they meet the admission requirements of an equivalent diploma program. Such transfers require a positive and reasoned opinion from the relevant department and approval by the institute executive board. Third, it adds a provision that if a student's thesis is rejected, upon their request they may receive a non-thesis master's diploma if they have fulfilled the course credit load, project writing and other requirements of the non-thesis program.
