The analysis of the credit system at universities in Turkey: Graduation in three years

Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This work examines the applicability of the course credit system in terms of efficiency at graduate level studies in universities of Turkey. This study recommends that students should be offered the option of completing undergraduate education in a period of 3 years or 6 semesters on a credit-based basis, which provides the student with more rights and flexibility, rather than on a class basis as in high school education. Another suggestion was also given according to the analysis. The research analyzes three university programs to see whether these programs have enough flexibility for the students to drop the course if they fail it. Instead of a university-oriented program, the benefits of a more flexible system are suggested, which is student-centered and does not make the student dependent on a single course or a single academician. Thus, it is thought that universities in Turkey will become more advanced institutions that prepare the individual for business life, unlike Turkish high school education.
