HISTORY

Bahçeşehir University was founded in 1998 as a trust-endowed university. Since then it has constantly expanded its intellectual boundaries and maintained its commitment to provide a high quality university education by focusing on the fundamental academic disciplines. In these ten years Bahçeşehir University established six faculties, two institutes and one vocational school. Other than this core education schools; University has also created other special educational programs to support and complete core education.

After the University’s first graduation ceremony at 2003, Bahçeşehir University moved to a campus in a very unique location and enhanced it with high-tech infrastructure. This campus fits to the overall academic philosophy of the University which is to provide students with a challenging as well as a friendly environment in which they can pursue active learning, develop social and cultural enhancement, become increasingly independent learners, acquire knowledge and skills such as problem solving and decision making and develop strong ethical and moral standards.

But we realize that in order to provide such academic education we must share the knowledge and experience of other universities and academic institutions around the world. With this perspective, Bahçeşehir University notices the importance of international relations with institutions in other countries and has been signing agreements with lots of institutions in the past 10 years. These agreements include a large variety of topics from student/teacher exchange to mutual event organizations. With this approach we are educating students that are highly aware of the world around them for 10 years.

In 2008 -10th year of University- when we look back to the past 10 years, we are proud to see that Bahçeşehir University has become an important center for art, science, culture and politics.

This success was possible only with dedicated academic and administrative staff, well managed resources, certain set of standards, challenging yet achievable goals and most importantly students that shares our excitement for what Bahçeşehir University is now and what it will be in the future.

RESEARCH CENTERS

American Studies Center: Bahçeşehir University’s American Studies Center was founded in order to evaluate the historical dimensions of Turkish-American relations, to explicate the phases of this relation, and to make future projections taking into consideration the evidence obtained.

Turkish-American relations, which had formally started in 1830, attained a new dimension in 1946, with the onslaught of the Cold War followed by the Truman Doctrine in 1947. They sought a new identity with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War in the 1990s. Finally, turbulent days were ahead for the relationship between the U.S. and Turkey during the American Iraqi Operation starting in 2003. The future projections of Turkish-American relations need to be defined in order to be able to consider them at length.

Bahçeşehir University’s American Studies Center aims to emphasize the significance of Turkish-American relations in the upcoming years by evaluating their historical dimension.

The center created an opportunity for researchers and academics whose studies are in the field of Turkish-American relations to share their knowledge through such programs as The School of Politics in the U.S. and The Global Leadership Forum.

The center pioneers the formation of political, social and economic bonds between the two countries.

With its organizations, the American Studies Center envisages the reinforcement of Turkish-American relations and an analysis of these relations on civil and academic levels, contrary to the situation before 1990.

Thanks to speakers coming from the U.S, and Turkish academics and opinion leaders sent to the U.S. to make speeches in various Think-Tanks and institutions, better acquaintance and understanding between the two countries are achieved. Nonetheless, further analysis of the relations between the two countries is essential in terms of historical dimension.

BETAM (Bahçeşehir University Center for Economic and Social Research): BETAM was founded with the goal of establishing a tradition rooted in scientific research, and of becoming a universally accepted research platform.

To reach its goal, BETAM provides the academic environment, the physical and human capital infrastructure necessary for the research of economic and social issues of Turkey. Using scientific methodology, it conducts applied research on economic and social issues; it evaluates the efficiency and the success of the current policies as well as producing policy recommendations. In this aspect, the research conducted in BETAM aims to increase the social and economic welfare. Hence, the output is shared with academia, research centers, independent researchers and the public, in Turkey as well as abroad.

BETAM consists of three main units. In the Economic Research Unit, it focuses on the research and development of economic policy in Turkey and abroad from a comparative perspective. In the Social Sciences Research Unit, it concentrates on the cultural, social and political structure of Turkey and its international relations. The third unit, Database, provides support in the collection, organization and registration of the necessary data.

GRADE POINT AVERAGES

Article 12.

The student's standing is calculated in the form of a Grade Point Average (G.P.A.) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (C.G.P.A.) and is announced at the end of each semester by the Registrar's Office. The total credit points for a course are calculated by multiplying the coefficient of the final grade by the credit hours. In order to obtain the G.P.A. for any given semester, the total credit points are divided by the total credit hours. The averages are given in two decimal points. The C.G.P.A. is calculated by taking into account all the courses that are recognized as valid, taken by a student since her/his entrance to the University, by the Department in which she/he is registered. Any given grade from A to F is taken as the basis for both the G.P.A. and the C.G.P.A. The most recent grade obtained for a repeated course is used to calculate the C.G.P.A. All the grades are shown on the student’s transcript.

SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS

Article 13.

Students whose C.G.P.A. and G.P.A. are at least 2.00 are considered successful. A student who, with at least a normal semester course load, obtains a G.P.A. of 3.00-3.49 at the end of a semester is considered as an honor student and who, with at least a normal semester course load, obtains a G.P.A. of 3.50-4.00 at the end of a semester is considered as a high honor student. The list of these students is announced at the end of each semester.

UNSATISFACTORY ACADEMIC RECORD

Article 14.

The standing of the undergraduate students whose cumulative grade point average (C.G.P.A.) or grade point average (G.P.A.) is below 2.00 is considered unsatisfactory. Of these students, those enrolled in their second term or higher can continue their studies only if their C.G.P.A. is above 1.80. If these students have a C.G.P.A. lower than 1.80, they repeat the courses they have previously taken until they raise their C.G.P.A. to 1.80. In this period, these students can enroll in only one new course. Repeating students cannot register for courses from which they have previously withdrawn and for courses not taken in the regular term. For all other courses Article 15 applies. For these students, the course load reductions as indicated in Article 5 may not be applied. The conditions under which students repeat courses are included in the maximum education period.

REPEATING COURSES

Article 15.

Page 28: THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES - AMiner · Bahçeşehir University is located in the heart of Beşiktaş, Istanbul’s commerce, culture and art center. Campus is also only a few minutes ride

UNSUCCESSFUL STUDENTS IN THEIR FINAL SEMESTERS

Article 16.

A student is considered as a last semester student if she/he successfully completes the courses in the semester for which she/he is registered and fulfills all the requirements for getting a Bachelor's degree.

Students who have received a grade of F from at most two credit courses and/or a grade of U from at most one non-credit course in their last semester will be given an additional period until the beginning of the next coming semester in order to make up the failed classes or to take an examination. The grade received within this period replaces the final examination grade. Students' standing at the end of the semester is calculated using the grades received at the end of the additional period.

Even if students have not received a grade of F in their last semester, if their C.G.P.A. is less than 2.00, they can be given an additional period for the courses in which the grades of D, D+, C- or C were received in the last semester under the conditions prescribed above.

Those who fulfill the conditions outlined in Article 17 can graduate in a shorter period of time.

Without there being a valid excuse stated in the regulations, students have to complete the four-year programs in maximum seven years and the two-year programs in four years at most. Students who cannot graduate within the stated periods are dismissed from the university. However, under the condition that the other requirements are met, those who have to take more than five courses to graduate are entitled to take a normal examination and a make-up examination in the courses that they have failed. Those who have reduced the number of courses they have failed to five at most (for graduation) as a result of these examinations are allowed an additional period of three semesters; those who have to take four or five courses without taking the additional examinations are allowed four semesters to complete these courses; and those who have to take three or fewer courses are allowed an unlimited additional period. Except for the courses based on practical work and those which have not been taken before, attendance is not required. The grades of the students who are not required to attend classes are determined by the mid-term and final examinations. The students who have been successful in all the courses required for graduation but who face dismissal because their C.G.P.A. is less than 2.00, are allowed an unlimited additional period of time to raise their C.G.P.A. by repeating courses in the last two years of their curriculum.

Students who have been given the right to continue their course work or to take examinations must register and pay tuition fees each semester. Students who have unlimited time to complete the necessary courses lose this right if they fail to register and pay fees, or if they register but fail to appear for examinations for three academic years.

Page 36: THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES - AMiner · Bahçeşehir University is located in the heart of Beşiktaş, Istanbul’s commerce, culture and art center. Campus is also only a few minutes ride

The grade (S) is given to students who are successful in thesis, term project and other non-credit courses.

The grade (PR) is given to students who are successfully continuing thesis and term project courses.

The grade (U) is given to students who are not successful in thesis, term project and other non-credit courses.

The grade (NA) is given to students who have failed to regularly attend courses or who have not fulfilled the requirements of the course. NA is processed as an F in computing grades.

The grade (EX) is given to students who have transferred to the university from another higher education institution on the condition that their courses from the other institution meet equivalence standards set by the related Administrative Committee after the proposal of the Department Chairperson. The grade EX is not included in the grade point average but is shown on the transcript.

The grade (NI) is given if courses within the program or programs in which a student is registered are taken on the “condition that they are not included in the Cumulative Grade Point Average”. This grade is indicated on the student's transcript together with the letter grade received from the course concerned. Such courses cannot be used in the course counting process related to the program or programs the student is registered for. The courses for which (NI) grade is received can not be repeated. The NI status cannot be changed within the same program.

The grade (W) is given if a student withdraws from a course after the add/drop period within the first 10 weeks of the semester on the recommendation of her/his advisor and with the permission of the instructor. The following rules apply to these students:

The semester course grades become final when they are submitted to the Registrar's Office, where the grades are announced.

GRADE POINT AVERAGE

Article 12

A student's academic standing is determined by calculating the grade point average at the end of each semester. The total credit point for a course is obtained by multiplying the course's credit hours by the final grade's coefficient. The grade point average (G.P.A.) of any semester is obtained by dividing the semester's total credit points by the number of credit hours taken by the student

Page 37: THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES - AMiner · Bahçeşehir University is located in the heart of Beşiktaş, Istanbul’s commerce, culture and art center. Campus is also only a few minutes ride

in that semester. The G.P.A. obtained is given in two decimal points. The cumulative grade point average (C.G.P.A.) is based on all courses taken from time of admission until the completion of the graduate program including all the courses taken to meet the minimal course load stipulated by the Department. The most recent grade obtained for a repeated course is used in the calculation of the cumulative grade point average (C.G.P.A.). All grades, however, are shown on the student's transcript.

COURSE SUBSTITUTION

Article 13

Course substitution and related conditions of decreasing the length of the regular graduate program by considering the courses taken within the Deficiency program, the special student program, transfer issues, and previous graduate programs are determined by the Administrative Committee of the Graduate School. Graduate students can take a maximum of half of their course load as a special student.

DISMISSAL

Article 14

Graduate students are dismissed from their programs for the following reasons:

a) If a student receives the letter grade "U" for a Master’s or Doctorate thesis/dissertation twice in a row or three times intermittently,

b) If the minimum required course load specified by the Department is not completed within four semesters by students in a Master’s program with thesis or Doctoral students having enrolled with a Master’s degree; and within six semesters by students in a Master’s program without thesis or Doctoral students who have enrolled with an undergraduate degree, and/or if a Cumulative Grade Point Average (C.G.P.A.) of less than 3.00 is obtained at the end of these periods,

c) If a student's thesis or dissertation is rejected by the jury,

Taking into account that international law can be considered as a new legal order when compared with other domains of law; it faces certain important problems with issues it deals with because of the possibility of swift sociological and psychological change in the areas that it regulates and the reflection of international politics upon the latter. The speedy resolution of these problems is important, not only for the regulation of interstate relations but also for individuals. Within this framework, our course which will be taught in two semesters will first of all underline the main problems faced by international law and try to search the underlying causes of these problems that stem from the nature of international law itself. For this aim, the methods of fight against terrorism under international law will be systematically examined as a major example.
