The Department of Medical History and Deontology at Uludağ University Faculty of Medicine was established under the Department of Public Health by Senate decision dated March 24, 1978, and numbered 78-6. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ayşegül Demirhan Erdemir began her tenure as the department´s first faculty member upon her appointment to the Associate Professor position by the Rectorate on March 7, 1980. According to the Faculty Dean´s letter dated November 10, 1981, and numbered 11777, communicated to all faculty members, the existing units of the Faculty of Medicine were temporarily grouped into four categories (Basic Sciences and Basic Medical Sciences Group, Preclinical Group, Surgical Group, and Medical Group) pending the establishment of departments. The "Medical History and Deontology Division" was placed within the "Preclinical" group. Thus, our Department became an independent department separated from the Department of Public Health. The department´s name was changed to "Deontology" in October 1982, and subsequently to "Medical History and Ethics" by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) in 2010.
Our Department prepared its first Master´s program in 1982, and four graduate students were educated between 1984 and 1987. Following this period, there was a hiatus in education. With the addition of new faculty members to the Department, the program was renewed and reopened in the 2015-2016 academic year

Upon successful completion of the Master´s program, the title of "Master of Science" in the field of "History of Medicine and Ethics" is conferred

Third Cycle

A student applying for a Master´s program must meet the following general and specific requirements: Educational Background: Hold a Bachelor´s degree from a minimum four-year higher education program in Health Sciences, or a Bachelor´s degree in Psychology, Sociology, Philosophy, History, or Law. Academic Performance: Maintain a minimum undergraduate GPA of 2.25 on a 4.0 scale or its equivalent. Achieve the minimum Academic Personnel and Graduate Education Entrance Exam (ALES) score determined by the Senate (at least 55) in the quantitative section for Health Sciences. Statement of Purpose: Submit a composition articulating the rationale for pursuing a Master´s degree in the History of Medicine and Ethics. Language Proficiency (Foreign Language): Obtain a minimum score of 50 (fifty) from central foreign language examinations accepted by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK), internationally recognized foreign language examinations deemed equivalent, or the foreign language examination administered by Bursa Uludağ University School of Foreign Languages. Alternatively, achieve an equivalent score from an internationally recognized foreign language examination accepted by the Assessment, Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM). The Senate will determine the equivalency of other individual foreign language documents. Language Proficiency (Turkish Language - International Students): Except for programs conducted entirely in a foreign language, international students admitted to other Master´s or Doctorate/Proficiency in Art programs must demonstrate proficiency in Turkish at a level no less than C1, as determined by the ULUTÖMER or other state university Turkish examinations. The specific level of proficiency will be proposed by the department/art department and approved by the Senate. Students who do not meet this requirement must attend a Turkish language course offered by ULUTÖMER or a center designated by the Senate for a maximum of 2 (two) years and pass the Turkish language examination. International candidates who have completed their undergraduate studies in Turkey are exempt from providing a Turkish proficiency certificate. International students, other than their native language, must have a minimum score of 55 from YDS or the equivalent score from other international foreign language exams that are accepted by OSYM. International students who have completed their bachelor degree out of Turkey, have to get recognition document from YÖK. Evaluation Criteria: For Master´s programs with a thesis, the evaluation will be based on the following weighted criteria: ALES score: 50% Undergraduate GPA: 20% Interview score: 30% For international students the evaluation will be based on the following weighted criteria: Undergraduate GPA: %50 Interview score: %50 Candidates with an overall success score below 65 points will be deemed unsuccessful. Recognition of Prior Learning: The provisions of the "Regulation on the Principles of Horizontal Transfer Between Associate and Bachelor Degree Programs in Higher Education Institutions, Double Major, Minor, and Inter-Institutional Credit Transfer"1 shall apply

The provisions in “Regulation on Transfer among Associate and Undergraduate Degree Programs, Double Major, and Subspecialty and the Principals of Credit Transfer among Institutions in Higher Education Institutions” are applied.

Course exams can be conducted as written, written-oral, or practical. Exam documents and results are forwarded to the relevant institute through the department head within five business days. The principles for determining course success are as follows: a) To be eligible to take exams from courses taken in graduate programs, a minimum of 70% attendance is required for theoretical courses and 80% for practical courses. Exams are evaluated with scores given out of 100. To be considered successful, a minimum score of 75 out of 100 is required in the doctoral program. The letter grade and coefficient equivalents of scores out of 100 are as follows: Letter Grade Coefficient Score AA 4.00 90-100 BA 3.50 85-89 BB 3.00 80-84 CB 2.50 75-79 FF 0-74 b) In the evaluation of scores out of 100 with letter grades within the framework of the above principles, a student who receives AA, BA, BB, and CB grades in the doctoral program is considered to have passed that course. c) In addition to the above letter grades, the following letters may also be used: 1) The D (Absent) grade is given to students who do not fulfill the attendance and/or course application conditions and requirements. The D grade is recorded as an FF grade in the grade point average calculation. 2) The G (Pass) grade is given to students who successfully complete non-credit courses and thesis studies. 3) The K (Fail) grade is given to students who fail non-credit courses and thesis studies. ç) Students who fail compulsory and elective course exams, who are absent, or who do not fulfill the prerequisites of the relevant course take the relevant course(s) in the first semester it is offered. If a student fails an elective course, they can choose a new course instead. d) The exam results, exam documents, and protocol of the courses in graduate programs are forwarded to the relevant institute through the department heads within five business days following the completion of the exams. e) The adaptation of the grades of courses taken by students who benefit from national or international exchange programs such as Erasmus and Farabi is made by the decision of the institute´s board of directors upon the proposal of the department head. These grades are entered into the student´s transcript. Course grade point average (1) The student´s academic standing is determined by the semester grade point average (YANO) and cumulative grade point average (GANO) calculated over the coefficients given as letter grade equivalents in the table in Article 21 of this Regulation at the end of each semester. YANO is the weighted grade point average of the semester in which the student is enrolled. GANO is the weighted grade point average calculated at the end of the course period, taking into account all the courses in the curriculum of the department in which the student is enrolled from the time of entering the graduate program. (2) YANO and GANO are calculated with weighted grade point averages. The weighted grade point average is found by dividing the total obtained by multiplying the credits of the courses taken by the equivalent weight coefficients of the letter grades taken from the courses by the total credit. The weighted grade point average is calculated as two digits after the decimal point. (3) Both YANO and GANO are determined by including the grades from (AA) to (FF) taken from the student´s credit courses in the evaluation. (4) All grades received by the student are entered into the grade transcript.
