DEFENDANT:
SUBJECT : Our request for the cancellation of the procedure dated …/…/… and numbered E….. of the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) regarding the rejection of the application for the diploma equivalence certificate.
NOTIFICATION DATE OF THE PROCESS:
DESCRIPTIONS :
1-) Our client, …. Won in…. From the University Faculty of Law …. Graduated in. After completing his undergraduate education, he applied to the defendant administration on …/…/… with the request of equivalence to his diploma, and his application was rejected by the administration on the grounds that the duration of his stay abroad was insufficient. (Annex 1-2-3)
2-) In clause p of Article 7 of the Higher Education Law No. 2547, “Determining the equivalence of associate degree, undergraduate and graduate diplomas obtained from higher education institutions abroad” is among the duties of the Higher Education Council.
In addition, Article 5 titled “Recognition of higher education institutions and programs”, Article 6 titled “Examination of applications for graduation recognition certificate and diploma equivalence certificate” and “Recognition of Higher Education Diplomas and Equivalence Regulations Abroad” published in the Official Gazette dated 05.12.2017 and numbered 30261. Article 7 of the “Proceedings to be done as a result of the examination of the applications for the graduation recognition certificate and diploma equivalence certificate” clarifies what will be done in the recognition and equivalence procedures.
3-) Each country has its own rules of law and the education given is based on the rules applied in the country where the university is located. The diploma given from the university where the undergraduate education is completed will be used in the field of law in Turkey as a result of the certification of its equivalence, and the documents that are the basis for our client’s application for equivalence at the Council of Higher Education Legal Equivalence Subcommittee must be examined on an individual basis by academic members who are experts in their fields, and the compulsory courses must be determined and reported. There is no legal merit in the defendant administration’s rejection of our client’s application on the grounds that the period of stay abroad is insufficient, without examining whether the lessons specific to Turkish law have been taken or not. Moreover, from the passport transcripts attached to our petition, it will be seen that our client continues his education as he should. (Annex 4)
4-) Within the framework of the issues we have tried to explain above, the obligation to open this case has arisen regarding the rejection of the application made for the purpose of issuing an equivalence certificate.
