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. There are 10 students in the MSc with thesis and 40 students in MSc without thesis program, total of 50 graduate students in M.Sc. programs are enrolled in the department.

The department´s education is based on at least 120 ECTS - European Credit Transfer System). The Master of Science Degree in Automotive Engineering Program is awarded to the graduates who have successfully completed all courses in the curriculum, seminars and defend a thesis sucessfully.

Second Cycle

Science degree in Bachelor and ALES (numeric) score which is determined by the Senate of Uludag University is required. Students must have minimum score determined by Senate in UDS, TOEFL, TOEFL or equivalent examinations accepted by YÖK, or foreign language exam which is conducted by the School of Foreign Languages in one of foreign languages in English. Uludağ University Senate decides the Equivalence of other foreign language documents. For foreign candidates, Turkish competency given by TOMER and ALES exam results or GRE, GMAT and other exams which are by YOK in international level.

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.

The graduate program students throughout their education, a total of 120 ECTS, not less than a minimum of eight courses, a seminar and thesis work must succeed. The students of Automotive Engineering Master Program who meet the relevant requirements are awarded MSc degree. The course concerned in this note is to be successful, must be at least 70 out of 100.
