Profile of The Programme
Students, holding Master’s degree in Basic Sciences or Engineering, are able to specify and apply probable solutions for a problem by suggesting thesis and hypothesis while being equipped with profound knowledge in their field of expertise. PhD programme cover various courses offered with an interdisciplinary approach in accordance with the field of interests. Students are provided with the opportunity to conduct applied research activities thanks to the updated laboratories equipped with high standard infrastructures. The primary objectives of the Programme are to raise individuals who respect the ethical values, adopt the principle of scientific and social equality and work for the development of society in all areas. Doctorate students are expected to gain the ability to conduct independent research in the related field, to interpret scientific events from a broad and deep perspective, and to reach new syntheses. In addition, the research results obtained under the doctoral study is expected to be published in scientific journals for the benefit of Turkey´s economy and the world of science.
