It’s not always easy to find information about how to adjust as a transfer student to a new school environment. As a transfer student herself Derya decided that she would do her own study on the adjustment process for transfer students. Here’s what she found.

“Transfer shock refers to the tendency of students transferring from one institution of higher education to another to experience a temporary dip in grade point average during the first or second semester at the new institution as defined by Hills (1965). A subsequent recovery in grade point average is also common. Researchers since Hills (1965) tend to agree that transfer shock does exist in some form, although there is not unanimous agreement concerning the severity or manifestation of the phenomenon. Some researchers have proposed reasons for transfer shock and suggested possible solutions. Given the number of studies that have been done, why is the term 'transfer shock' still relevant after forty years?”

The motto of our polytechnic university is “Learn by Doing”, so be prepared to do a lot of hands-on learning!
