Establishment

This program is the third department opened at Şefaatli Vocational School within Yozgat Bozok University. It began accepting students in the 2019-2020 academic year.

The program aims to train highly knowledgeable and experienced technical personnel who can work in these fields.

Graduates of the program can find employment in the following areas: Graduates can find employment opportunities in the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry's provincial and district directorates, research institutes and laboratories, veterinary clinics, polyclinics and hospitals, farms, poultry, food production and marketing businesses, zoos, and the veterinary pharmaceutical industry.

Program Language

Turkish

Degree Awarded

Students who successfully complete all field courses are entitled to receive an "Associate Degree".

Admission and Registration Requirements

To be admitted to the program, it is necessary to pass the exam administered by the Student Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM). Students organize their program preferences according to their exam scores and send their preference forms to the Student Selection and Placement Center. ÖSYM receives all applications, groups them according to score type, ranks the scores from highest to lowest, lists all available programs according to the preferred score type, and places students in one of their preferred programs. Registration procedures are then carried out for students who are accepted into the program.

Assessment and Evaluation Principles

Each student must attend at least 70% of lectures and at least 80% of practical sessions to register and take end-of-term exams on the dates predetermined in the academic calendar. Students are subject to at least one midterm and one final exam for each course. The midterm exam contributes 40% and the final exam contributes 60% to the student's end-of-term grade. All exams are graded out of 100 points. Students who receive one of the letter grades "AA", "BA", "BB", "CB", and "CC" in a course are considered to have passed that course. "DC" and "DD" are considered conditionally passing. For a student to pass a course with a "DC" or "DD" grade, their overall GPA for the semester in which the course is taken must be at least 2.00.

Graduation Requirements

Students must successfully complete all compulsory and elective courses (totaling 120 ECTS credits), achieve a minimum overall GPA of 2.00 out of 4.00, and complete a mandatory 30-day internship.

Transition to Undergraduate Programs

Graduates of this program can transfer to Veterinary Medicine, Molecular Biology and Genetics, Biology, Animal Production, Agricultural Biotechnology, and Zootechnics undergraduate programs via the Vertical Transfer Exam (DGS).
