The aim of program is to educate students as highly motivated, socially responsible energy systems engineers who have the ability to deal with energy-related engineering problems creatively at theoretical and practical levels using the critical thinking and scientific analysis methods in both the national and the world-wide context.

Qualification Awarded

The students who successfully complete the program are awarded the degree of Bachelor of Science in Energy Systems Engineering

Level of Qualification

This is a Bachelor’s Degree (First Cycle) program.

Specific Admission Requirements

Student admission for this undergraduate program is made through university entrance examinations (YGS-LYS) prepared in the framework of the regulations set by Higher Education Council of Turkey (YÖK). International students are accepted to this undergraduate program according to the score of one of the international exams they take such as SAT,ACT etc. or according to their high school diploma score. Exchange student admission is made according to the requirements determined by bilateral agreements signed by BAU and the partner university. Visiting students can enroll for the courses offered in this program upon the confirmation of the related academic unit. Additionally, they need to prove their English language level since the medium of instruction atBAU is English.

Qualification Requirements and Regulations

The students studying in this undergraduate program are required to have a Cumulative Grade Points Average (Cum.GPA) of not less than 2.00/4.00 and have completed all the courses with at least a letter grade of D/S in the program in order to graduate. The minimum number of ECTS credits required for graduation is 240. It is also mandatory for the students to complete their compulsory internship(s) in a specified duration and quality.

Recognition of Prior Learning

At Bahcesehir University , full-time students can be exempted from some courses within the framework of the related by laws. If the content of the course previously taken in another institution is equivalent to the course offered at BAU, then the student can be exempted from this course with the approval of the related faculty/graduate school after the evaluation of the course content.

Occupational Profiles of Graduates

Graduates of this program can work on a variety of fields such as energy production, transmission, distribution as well as energy planning and investment analysis, energy economics and management, or energy conservation and efficiency. As a suitable example, one of our 2011 gradutes currently works in the Purchasing Department of a private company involved in wind turbine production and installation.

Access to Further Studies

The students graduating from this program may apply to second cycle (Master's degree) programmes.
