Program Introduction

Program Objectives

The Associate Degree Program in AI-Assisted Coding aims to educate qualified professionals equipped with AI-assisted software development skills required by the rapidly digitalizing business world.

Students enrolled in the program will have the opportunity to learn generative artificial intelligence applications alongside up-to-date software technologies. In addition to becoming technically competent individuals, students are expected to develop into professionals who are conscious of data privacy and social impact and who embrace a vision of responsible technology development.

The competencies intended to be gained within the scope of the program are as follows:

• Building an algorithmic thinking foundation using the Python programming language
• Actively using current technologies such as Large Language Models (LLMs), agent-based systems, and generative artificial intelligence applications
• Conducting AI-assisted software development, using cloud technologies, and managing software testing processes
• Designing projects that integrate web-based applications, database systems, and cloud technologies with artificial intelligence services
• Analyzing generative AI applications in different sectoral scenarios and producing suitable solutions
• Managing software testing and quality assurance processes with AI support

Who Can Enroll in the Program?

Offered with the flexibility of open education, this program addresses two primary target groups within the vision of lifelong learning and acquiring new skills:

1. Young individuals who are beginning university education and planning careers in artificial intelligence and software development. In this context, high school and equivalent school graduates who achieve sufficient scores in the Basic Proficiency Test (TYT) of the Higher Education Institutions Exam (YKS) conducted by ÖSYM and choose the program may enroll.
2. Individuals who are already working in different sectors or studying in different programs and who wish to transform their work processes by gaining AI-assisted coding skills. Students currently enrolled in a higher education institution or graduates of associate or bachelor’s degree programs may directly enroll in the program without taking any examination.
