523 HORTICULTURAL CROPS

GENERAL INFORMATION
The "Department of Horticulture", which is the first department established in 2022 within the Faculty of Agriculture of Pamukkale University, has started to provide undergraduate education on fruit growing, vegetable growing, viticulture and ornamental plants cultivation and problems, greenhouse cultivation, conservation and market preparation of horticultural products since the 2023-2024 academic year. Within the borders of Denizli Çal, Acıpayam and Çivril districts, vineyard, fruit, vegetable and ornamental plants including different species and varieties are produced for research and application purposes. The Department of Horticulture has a vineyard-fruit-vegetable garden, plastic greenhouse, cold storage facility. In addition, scientific studies and courses are carried out in laboratories.

Objective
The aim of the horticulture programme is to train manpower to work on the cultivation of various vegetables and fruits in vineyards and gardens with scientific methods, development of species, collection, protection and marketing of products and to conduct research.

Admission Requirements
In order for students to enrol in the programme, they must have a secondary education diploma and must have enough points in the relevant score type from the placement exam for higher education institutions.

Graduation Requirements
Students who successfully complete the compulsory and elective courses in the curriculum in our programme, complete their compulsory internships and meet the requirements specified in the Pamukkale University undergraduate education and training regulations are entitled to receive a bachelor's degree.

Career Opportunties
Graduates of the horticulture programme are given the title of "Agricultural Engineer". An agricultural engineer trained in the field of horticulture conducts seed breeding studies for experiments to improve the production of horticultural crops such as planting time of horticultural crops, type of fertiliser to be used, adaptation of products to different climates and soils, plant diseases, high-yielding and high quality fruit trees, vegetables and ornamental plants; develops methods for the collection, storage and marketing of horticultural products. Horticulture agricultural engineer can work in agricultural unions and agricultural co-operatives, Ministries of Agriculture and Forestry and affiliated nurseries or can produce horticultural crops himself.

Qualification Awarded
Horticultural Crops

Level of Qualification
First Cycle (Bachelor's Degree)

Recognition of Prior Learning
For students who want to transfer from higher education institutions in Turkey to Pamukkale University, the provisions of the "Regulation on the Principles of Transferring Between Associate Degree and Undergraduate Programmes, Double Major, Minor and Inter-institutional Credit Transfer in Higher Education Institutions" are applied. The exemption exam for common compulsory foreign language courses is held at the beginning of the autumn semester on the date specified in the academic calendar. No make-up exam is allowed for this exam. Common compulsory foreign language exemption exam is taken by the students of faculties/vocational schools/colleges that do not have a preparatory programme. Students who will take the exemption exam apply to the relevant unit within the period specified in the academic calendar. In addition; Students who register for the first time in departments with a foreign language preparatory programme take the placement and proficiency exam before the start of the academic year. Students are placed in one of the beginner, lower-intermediate or intermediate level groups according to the score they get in this exam, or those with a proficiency score are exempted from preparatory education. The score ranges of these groups are determined by the School Directorate. Exam results are announced in the relevant places and on the website of the School of Foreign Languages. Students enrolled in departments/programmes accepted for compulsory preparatory education who do not take the placement and proficiency exams start their education at the beginning level.

Qualification Requirements and Regulations
Students who successfully complete the compulsory and elective courses in the curriculum in our programme, complete their compulsory internships and meet the requirements specified in the Pamukkale University undergraduate education and training regulations are entitled to receive a bachelor's degree.

Access to Further Studies
Candidates who have successfully completed their undergraduate studies can study in post-graduate programs provided that they receive valid grades from ALES and have sufficient knowledge of English.

TEACHING & LEARNING METHODS
NameComments
DebateDepending on the situation, debate is a tool that allows all students, or a specific portion of the class to participate in the lesson. In this method, members of the group discuss a topic by addressing the various points of view and discuss alternative opinions about problem-solving.
DemonstrationIn this method the teacher demonstrates, an experiment, test, in front of the class. And then assists students to do so too. Students learn not only by just by looking and watching, but also by taking part and participating. This method is usually applied when teaching skills.
Problem SolvingThe name given to any doubt or ambiguity that arises is, a problem. Problems which usually have a role in human life, that have preventing or annoying aspects are solved by considering the stages of scientific methods. (a) Problems are determined. (b) The problem is identified. 
PerformanceIn this method, the teacher performs activities such as experiments and demonstrations in front of the class, students try to learn by looking and watching. This method is usually applied where there are limited facilities and in dealing with dangerous experimental situations.
Questions –AnswersThe different types of Questions used (associative, differential, assessment, requesting information, motivating, and brainstorming) although students get in to more active positions during the process; the method is teacher-centered. If possible Questions, that serve a purpose and
ProjectProject-based learning is a learning way which leads students to deal with interesting problems and to create extraordinary products at the end of this. It allows students to use their creativity and it requires them to look at events perceptively.
Technical TourIs a method that takes learning to the out of the classroom. It is a method that provides students to make direct observations and to gain information by taking them to places, such as factories, museums, libraries, various government agencies, mountains, forests, lakes, parks and gardens.
Observation Although we generally get information related to the nature through observations, the Observation method can also be used for other situations and under other conditions. We try to reach certain generalizations by thinking about our findings which we gather from our observations.
Brainstorming Brainstorming is a group work process that has been regulated to reach solutions for a problem without limitations or evaluation. The purpose of brainstorming is to make it easier for students to express themselves and to generate ideas. This technique is used as a high-level discussion
Flipped LearningIt can be defined as a pedagogical approach that centers on individual learning rather than group learning. Flipped learning is presented with videos prepared by the teacher, ensuring that the time spent face to face between the teacher and the student creates a more meaningful and rich learning environment.
