General Information
The purpose of the Interdisciplinary Bio Engineering Thesis Master's Program;
Bioengineering is an engineering discipline that combines the principles of science and engineering sciences to understand and produce solutions to problems encountered in areas related to living life such as medicine, veterinary, food and environmental sciences and offers them to the service of living life. This branch of science; In addition to many basic and applied branches of engineering such as mass and heat transfer, kinetics, biocatalysis, biomechanics, separation and purification techniques, bioreactor design, surface science, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and polymer chemistry; It aims to create a bridge between research and knowledge in basic and applied sciences such as genetics, molecular biology, protein chemistry, metabolism, cell physiology and biochemistry, cytology, bioelectricity, neurobiology, immunology, pharmacology and to produce original solutions to the problems of today's society in different dimensions and sectors.
The admission requirements for the Interdisciplinary Bio Engineering Thesis Master's Program will be as follows:
Candidates who will apply to the proposed Bio Engineering Thesis Master's Program must have a bachelor's degree from the Biology department of the Faculty of Science, the Faculty of Pharmacy, the Faculty of Dentistry, the Faculty of Medicine, and the Bioengineering, Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Food Engineering, Fiber and Polymer Engineering, and Textile Engineering departments of the Faculty of Engineering.
They must have received a score from the Academic Personnel and Graduate Education Entrance Exam (ALES) announced by the Higher Education Council, not less than the ALES standard score, as determined by the relevant Institute Department (EABD), Institute Board and Senate.
They must have a minimum undergraduate graduation grade point average, foreign language score and meet other criteria to be announced by the Institute Department (EABD), Institute Board and Senate.
Graduate student quotas are divided into two as general and international quotas. General quotas are open to Turkish and foreign candidates who meet the admission requirements; international quotas are open to foreign nationals who meet the admission requirements or to Turkish citizens who have completed their entire undergraduate education abroad. In addition, horizontal transfer quotas may be reserved for both types of quotas. General and international quotas and admission requirements are specified separately in the announcement. Senate decisions are applied for applications to doctoral programs with a ten-semester undergraduate degree graduation in institutes and/or programs
Student acceptance and evaluation
(1) The conditions and evaluation principles for candidates applying to the Interdisciplinary Bio Engineering Thesis Master's Program are as follows:
a) In order to apply to the thesis master's program, candidates must have a bachelor's degree deemed appropriate by the relevant department/main art branch in terms of education, and must have at least 55 ALES points from the score type of the program they are applying for or the standard score determined by YÖK for national or international exams that are accepted as equivalent to ALES. However, ALES points are not required for student acceptance to the departments and main art branches of fine arts faculties and conservatory in institutes.
b) In the registration of candidates whose applications for a master's degree are accepted, candidates with a score above 50 are ranked according to the sum of 60% of the ALES score, 20% of the undergraduate GPA and 20% of the foreign language score. YDS or national or international foreign language exams accepted as equivalent by YÖK are valid as foreign language scores. The score contributions of candidates without a foreign language score are taken as zero. In the event of a tie, priority is given to those with higher ALES and undergraduate GPA scores. In all evaluations, fractional grades are rounded to the last three digits after the decimal point.
c) In applications to the thesis-based master's program, the relevant department or branch of science may require a science exam and/or interview. In such a case, the application evaluation is carried out as follows:
1) Candidates with a score above 50 points, with a sum of 50% of the ALES score, 20% of the undergraduate GPA, 10% of the score received in the science exam or interview and 20% of the foreign language score are ranked.
2) In case of a science exam and an interview, the average of the grade received in the science exam and the grade received in the interview is taken into account.
3) In student acceptance, the interview is conducted by a jury consisting of three or five faculty members, one of whom is the department/branch/program head in the relevant program, and who will be determined by the relevant institute board of directors. The jury head is the department/branch/program head in the relevant program. In the interview, the candidate's basic knowledge in the field and his/her interest and orientation level in academic work are evaluated.
As a result of this evaluation, the written/test method can be used in addition to the oral stage in terms of the interview score to be determined out of 100. Candidates who do not take the interview and/or science exam will be excluded from the evaluation and will not be accepted to the program. In all evaluations, fractional grades are rounded to three digits after the decimal point.
Application results are announced on the relevant institute's web page on the internet. Registrations are made by the Student Affairs Unit on the dates announced on the institute's web page.
