Academic Credit System and ECTS in KHAS

European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) is a student-oriented credit system based on the workload of the student. It is a value that represents all the studies (theoretical courses, applications, seminars, independent studies, examinations, assignments, etc.) that a student needs to complete in order to be successful in a course.

ECTS is one of the most important fields of study in the application phase of Bologna Process in Turkey. In recent years, many universities in Turkey intensified their studies for adjusting their credit and grading systems to ECTS principles.

Kadir Has University has prepared this specially designed ECTS Information Guide with the aim of clarifying details about the academic programs and the understanding of education for Kadir Has University which have been formed in tune with Bologna Process. Each detail in the ECTS Information Guide regarding the implementation of ECTS credits of courses, student workloads, evaluation process and the relation of all these components with each other have been explained step by step.

The beneficiaries of this web site will not only be able to access programs offered, course contents but also general information about the student life and extracurricular activities both in İstanbul and at KHAS.

HEALTH INSURANCE

You should purchase a Health Insurance in Turkey in order to prevent any regulation complications.

There is a high possibility that the immigration office reject the health insurance policy you already purchased elsewhere even though it is clearly stated as a ‘world wide policy’ with full treatments and conditions. According to the current regulations the policy must be issued by a company which has office in Turkey and the policy should state ‘this health insurance is issued in accordance with the regulations announced by law act 10.5.2016 tarih ve 16/2016 published in Republic of Turkey. Generally, the cost of this health insurance policy varies between 40,00 to 100,00 Euros.

• Some countries –Germany, France, Belgium, Netherlands, and Austria– have mutual agreements with Turkey. Students from these countries do not need to get health insurance here. However, they have to provide an official letter from their home country’s insurance services and get it approved at the Social Security Office in Turkey.

• Others are required to get a health insurance. This would cost between 40,00-100,00 Euros.
