Second Cycle

To apply for a Masters` degree in Veterinary Biochemistry; Candidates must hold a Bachelor´s degree in fields determined by the department in each semester, and possess the minimum ALES score specified by the University Senate. Undergraduate diploma grade point average is required to have at least 2.25 or an equivalent GPA in the 4-point system and ALES (at least 55) base score determined by the Senate in the type of numerical score for Health Sciences. b) Must have obtained the base score to be determined by the decision of the Board of Departments (if requested) from the international foreign language exam, which is recognized as equivalent to the central foreign language exams accepted by YÖK, or from the foreign language exam held by Bursa Uludağ University School of Foreign Languages. The Senate decides on the equivalence of other foreign language documents. c) Except for the programs in which education and training is conducted entirely in a foreign language, foreign students accepted to other master´s, doctorate / arts proficiency programs are not less than C1 level from the Turkish exam conducted by ULUTÖMER or other state universities, and recommended by the head of the institute department / department and the Senate they must be successful at the level determined by Those who are not successful must attend a maximum 1 (one) year Turkish language course opened by ULUTÖMER or a center determined by the Senate and must be successful in the Turkish exam. Turkish proficiency certificate is not required for foreign applicants who have completed the Bachelor in Turkey. Foreign candidates can be admitted to the program if they receive a score of at least 55 (fifty-five) points from the YDS from one of the languages ??accepted by the Interuniversity Board, or the equivalent of this score from the international foreign language exam accepted by ÖSYM. Foreign nationals who have completed their undergraduate program in foreign countries must have a recognition certificate from YÖK. In order for a student to be evaluated in a master´s program with thesis; As the evaluation range, ALES score is 50%, Undergraduate Grade Point Average 20%, Interview grade 30%. Foreign student candidates have a 50% undergraduate GPA and 50% in the Interview grade. Candidates with a general grade of less than 65 points are considered unsuccessful.

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.

There is no qualification exam in Masters`s of Science education in Veterinary Biochemistry It is necessary to have a bachelor´s degree in order to apply for a master´s degree in the field of Veterinary Biochemistry. In order for the students to start the thesis in the master´s program, they must successfully complete all of the common and compulsory courses and elective courses that they must take in the program, and must get at least 70 out of 100 for each course.

In Masters`s of Science education in Veterinary Biochemistry, students are equipped with skills necessary to reach recent knowledge, assess the quality of science, and to generate novel concepts related to his/her field of expertise. In this programme, in addition of learning basic biochemistry principles, students will have learnt basic laboratory techniques related to his/her field of expertise and will be able to apply them.

He/she can apply for PhD programmes in related fields and can be accommodated in research institutes and R&D laboratories.

Students who have successfully completed Masters`s Science in Veterinary Biochemistry can apply for PhD programme in Veterinary Biochemistry if he/she possess qualifying scores in GPA, ALES and foreign language exams, as specified by the university senate and the department.

Exam of the courses; It can be done in written, written-oral or applied form. Exam documents and results are sent to the relevant institute within five working days via the department head. The principles regarding the determination of course success are as follows: a) In order to take the exam from the courses taken in graduate programs; 70% attendance is required for theoretical courses and 80% for applied courses. Exams are evaluated with points given out of 100. To be successful, it is necessary to get at least 70 points out of 100 in master´s programs with thesis. Letter grade and coefficient equivalents of the points 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 CC 2.00 70-74 F 0-69 b) Within the framework of the above principles In evaluating the scores out of 100 with letter grades; A student who gets AA, BA, BB, CB and CC grades in master´s programs is considered successful in that course. c) In addition to the letter grades above, the following letters can also be used: 1) Note D (Absent); It is given to students who do not fulfill the conditions and requirements of course attendance and / or course practices. The grade average of D is transferred to the calculation of the FF grade. 2) Grade G (Pass); It is given to students who successfully complete non-credit courses and thesis studies. 3) Grade K (Remaining); It is given to students who fail in their thesis with non-credit courses. d) Students who fail the exams of compulsory and elective courses, fail in absenteeism or fulfill the prerequisites of the relevant course, take the relevant course / courses in the first semester they are opened. In case of failure in the elective course, the student can choose a new course instead. d) The exam results, exam documents and protocol of the courses in the graduate programs are sent to the relevant institute through the heads of the department within five working days following the completion of the exams. e) The adjustment of the grades of the courses taken by students who benefit from national or international exchange programs such as Erasmus and Farabi is made by the decision of the head of the department and the decision of the board of directors of the institute. These grades are recorded on the transcript of the student. Course success average (1) The success of the student is determined by the semester academic grade average (YANO) and general academic grade average (GANO) calculated on the coefficients given 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 the student is enrolled. GANO is the weighted grade average calculated at the end of the semester by considering all the courses in the curriculum of the department in which the student is enrolled, starting from the beginning of the graduate program. (2) Calculated with YANO and GANO weighted grade averages. The weighted grade point average is calculated by dividing the total credits obtained by multiplying the credits of the courses taken with the weight coefficients equivalent of the letter grades taken from the courses, by the total credits. The weighted grade average is calculated as two digits after the comma. (3) Both YANO and GANO are determined by taking the grades (AA) to (FF) that the student takes from credit courses into the assessment. (4) All grades received by the student are recorded in the grade book.

In order to graduate from the Veterinary Biochemistry Master´s program with thesis, it is required to successfully complete at least eight courses with a minimum of 120 ECTS credits, a seminar course at the course stage, a Master´s Specialization Field Course, Thesis Advisory Course and thesis study to be taken each semester. In addition, BUU Graduate Education and Training Regulations must meet the publication conditions specified in the Appendix 1 of the Implementation Principles.
