Automotive Engineering (Without Thesis)
General Description
Automotive Engineering Department was established in 2010 and was started to give education on master of science degree in 2011. The Automotive Engineering Department is a pioneer department for Turkey, as being one of the first of its kind in Turkey. The Department offers two programs to qualified students for further education and research at advanced level, leading to the degree of MSc in Automotive Engineering. The Graduate Programs are MSc with thesis and non-thesis programs in Automotive Engineering. Non-thesis program is a MSc without thesis program with the support of Politecnico di Torino (PdT) Italy. The program is held in Uludağ University and taught in English also with the participation of lecturers from Politecnico di Torino through video conference and seminars. It is the first MSc without thesis program in Automotive Engineering in Turkey, supported by another institution abroad, Politecnico di Torino (PdT) Italy. 40 students enrolled in M.Sc. without thesis program in automotive engineering.
The department´s education is based on 36 credits (90 ECTS-European Credit Transfer System). The Master of Science Degree in Automotive Engineering Program is awarded to the graduates who have succesfully completed all courses, a seminar and a project succesfully.
