Interdisciplinary Artificial Intelligence Master´s Program was launched and started education in the Fall Semester of 2021-2022. The program has been designed with an interdisciplinary content and is the first master´s program of its kind opened in Turkey in this field. In addition to fundamental courses in the field of Artificial Intelligence, it also includes courses from Master´s programs in Computer Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Electronic Engineering.

Upon successful completion of the Artificial Intelligence Master´s Program and fulfillment of program requirements, a Master´s degree in Artificial Intelligence is conferred.

Second Cycle

To be eligible to apply for the Master´s program, candidates must have a minimum score of 55 or higher on the ALES (Academic Personnel and Graduate Education Entrance Exam) or an equivalent exam, as determined by the Senate. For Master´s applications, a foreign language proficiency score is not required; however, in cases where candidates have equal scores, those with a higher English proficiency score will be given preference. The program is interdisciplinary and accepts students with a bachelor´s degree in Computer Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Mechatronic Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Automotive Engineering.

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.

Students who are enrolled in the graduate programs of the Department or other related Departments must have a minimum of eight courses, including at least one seminar course, from the courses available in the graduate programs, with a total of at least 120 ECTS credits, including a seminar course and a thesis study, provided that one academic semester is not less than 60 ECTS credits. Upon successful defense of the thesis before a jury consisting of faculty members, students are awarded a Master´s degree in Artificial Intelligence Engineering. To be considered successful in courses, excluding seminars, a weighted average grade of at least 70 out of 100 must be achieved. Additionally, the student must fulfill the publication or scientific activity requirement determined by the Senate to be eligible for graduation.

The Artificial Intelligence Master´s program offers interdisciplinary education, featuring a faculty team composed of 7 instructors from various departments. In addition to the core faculty members of the Artificial Intelligence Master´s program, external instructors from different academic disciplines also contribute by teaching courses and providing academic guidance to the students.
