Our Department
The Department of Civil Engineering at Hasan Kalyoncu University began admitting students in the 2009–2010 academic year. Our department is accredited by the Engineering Evaluation and Accreditation Association (MÜDEK), and the language of instruction is 100% English. Before starting their studies in our department, our students receive one year of foreign language training. Students who successfully complete their foreign language training are entitled to receive the 4-year / 8-semester Civil Engineering education in our department. In the 2014–2015 academic year, our department updated its education system and moved to internationally qualified education. In the new education system, students who successfully complete all courses over 7 semesters undergo the CO-OP program in the 8th semester. In the CO-OP system, our students receive practical training by working for one semester at companies that have agreements with our University and have close contact with the sector.
The Department of Civil Engineering runs Master’s and PhD programs together with the Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences. The department has 4 operational laboratories—Soil Mechanics, Materials, Structures and Transportation—which contribute to students’ education, where master’s and PhD students carry out their experimental studies and where various research projects are conducted.
