In our department, education and training activities are carried out within the framework of formal education. Courses are conducted in the classrooms of our University’s Faculty of Art and Design, combining both theoretical and practical instruction. In addition to theoretical training, studios and laboratories provide hands-on experience through design practices, computer-aided applications, and project-based learning. These practices enable students to enhance their creativity while developing technical skills. Furthermore, the weaving and printing studios within the Faculty of Tourism contribute to strengthening students’ applied learning experiences.

The studios and laboratories used throughout the program allow students to explore different dimensions of textile design. The Drawing Studio and the Basic Design Studio help students develop skills in drawing, composition, and visual perception, while the Knitting Studio and the Automatic Knitting Studio provide opportunities to produce knitted fabrics both manually and through industrial methods, enabling students to test their theoretical knowledge in real production processes. The Weaving Studio offers the chance to apply weaving structures and techniques, where students can directly observe how their designs are reflected in production by experimenting with different yarn types, weaving methods, and fabric structures. The Printing and Dyeing Studios, on the other hand, provide students with the opportunity to achieve originality in color and pattern design. Through screen-printing and digital printing techniques, students experience how patterns interact with the fabric surface, the durability of dye types, and how colors change after production. Additionally, dyeing practices using both natural and synthetic dyes support a sustainable textile approach, enabling students to explore ecological dyeing methods.

Our department is also equipped with advanced facilities such as the Computer-Aided Textile Design Laboratory and the Textile Pattern Laboratory. In these environments, students use computer-aided design software to develop textile patterns, create color variations, and prepare surface designs suitable for digital printing. In this way, students gain the ability to integrate traditional methods with contemporary technologies, acquiring the competence to master both the artistic and industrial aspects of textile design.

Whether a course is successful or not is determined by the course success grade. The course success grade is determined by the relevant academician, taking into account the grades the student receives from the midterm exams and final exams during the semester/year, the absolute values ​​in the first paragraph of Article 24, or the general status of the class, arithmetic averages and statistical distribution.

The raw success grade of a course is determined by adding 40% of the student's midterm exam grade during the semester/year and/or the activities within the scope of the midterm exam and 60% of the final exam or make-up exam.

The exam results are announced to the students by the instructor who teaches the course by entering them into the ÖİBS within the period specified in the academic calendar. The grade becomes final on the day it is approved by the instructor.

The absolute values ​​of the coefficients of the course success grades are applied as follows:

                       GRADE                            COEFFICENT                          SCORE

                          AA                                           4,00                                90-100

                          BA                                           3,50                                 85-89

                          BB                                           3,00                                 80-84

                          CB                                           2,50                                 75-79

                          CC                                           2,00                                 70-74

                          DC                                           1,50                                 65-69

                          DD                                           1,00                                 60-64

                          FD                                           0,50                                 50-59

                           FF                                           0,00                                  0-49

              BL (SUCCESSFUL)                              --                                        --

              BZ (UNSECCESSFUL)                         --                                        --

              DZ (NOT ATTENDED)                         0,00                                     0

              GR (NOT ENTERED)                           0,00                                     0

A student who receives the grade AA, BA, BB, CB, CC, DC or DD from a course is considered to have succeeded in that course.

Students who do not take the end-of-term/end-of-year exam are given a GR grade regardless of their work during the semester/year, and their grade is entered into the system as zero.

DZ and GR grades are treated as FF and are included in the weighted general grade point average. Courses that are failed with DZ and GR grades are taken first in the following semester/year.

Grades from courses taken in the last five years at higher education institutions where they were previously educated are converted to letter grades. The criteria to be used in grade conversion are determined by the Senate.

A student whose success score is below 49.00 is considered to have failed that course directly by receiving a (FF) grade, even if the grade is applied by taking into account the arithmetic average and statistical values ​​determined by the relevant academician.
