In 2011, TUS uses the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) as the grading system, as it was adopted in the Turkish Higher Education Law. TAA has a three-tier education system consisting of undergraduate, graduate and doctoral programs. The course structure and quality level of these stages are designed as stipulated in the Bologna Process. Students who wish to go abroad must fulfill the Learning Agreement. The targeted achievement results are compared by the Erasmus coordinator with the Learning Agreement and the program curriculum at TAU, the grades are converted into the TAU system and recorded on the student transcript at TAU.
All programs at TAU are designed for 30 credits per semester. Thus, outgoing students can easily adapt to the education system at their host universities.
