Additional Notes

This curriculum is valid for students starting first grade in the 2025-2026 academic year. The curriculum for previous students can be accessed here.

In order to graduate, at least 240 ECTS credit courses must be succesfully completed. The students must complete the Complementary Engineering Courses (called TMD in the curriculum, short for "Tamamlayıcı Mühendislik Dersleri") and elective courses to provide a total of 240 ECTS. Otherwise they will be deemed not to fulfill the conditions for graduation.

Important Explanation about Elective Courses

In order to graduate, GBE students are obliged to take 6 technical elective courses. Technical elective courses MUST be from "GBE Technical Elective Courses" list. The courses that are not included in this list will not be counted as technical elective.

Important Explanations Regarding TMD (Complementary Engineering Course) Courses

The students of the Department of Genetics and Bioengineering have to take 2 TMD (Complementary Engineering Courses) in order to graduate.
