By the Numbers
Recep Tayyip Erdoğan University (RTEÜ) Rector Prof. Dr. Yusuf Yılmaz stated that university education is not just about a diploma and grade point average, announcing an important new practice. With the new system, the work done by students will be recorded to help them stand out in business life after graduation.
It is aimed to create a comprehensive CV by adding the projects students realize during their university years, the social responsibility activities they participate in, and the skills they acquire to their diplomas. All qualifications gained by the student, from volunteer aid activities to software programs, will be entered into the system. Employers will be able to transparently see all the work the candidate has done during their university life via the QR code that will be included on the diploma.
Rector Yılmaz emphasized that merely getting high grades is not sufficient in the business world and that such activities are of great importance in Europe and America. He also added that there has been a significant increase in social responsibility and TÜBİTAK projects at the university in recent years, noting that a full and strong resume is preferred over an empty diploma.
