General Description

History

The Department of Molecular Medicine was founded in 2009 with the approval of High Council of Education (YOK) as a multidisciplinary department. The academic faculty of the department is composed of faculty members from basic medical sciences (Biochemistry, Medical Biology, Pathology, Histology-Embryology, Pharmacology, Basic Oncology) and clinical sciences (Paediatrics and Internal Medicine). The PhD programme of Molecular Medicine has been started in the 2009-2010 academic year. The duration of training is totally four years. The language of programme is Turkish.

Qualification Awarded

Doctorate Degree in Molecular Medicine, PhD

Level of Qualification

Third Cycle (Doctorate Degree)

Specific Admission Requirements

Second Cycle (Master's Degree) diploma. Minimum GPA 80/100 or 3/4, minimum score of 60 from the National Central Graduate Education Entrance Examination (ALES) in the related fields, or 50 in graduate medical residency examination (TUS) minimum score of 60 from the Foreign Language Exams (YDS) or the equivalent exams scores obtained fromTOEFL//etc, and being successful at the science examination of the Institute in the related fields (minimum score of 75).Transcript.

Specific Arrangements for Recognition of Prior Learning (Formal, Non-Formal and Informal)

A successful student who has completed at least one semester at any postgraduate programme may be admitted to an institute at the University by lateral transfer. Requirements for admission of students by lateral transfer are determined by the Board of Directors of the Institute.Students who have matriculated after they have successfully passed the postgraduate entrance exam may be exempted from the courses they have already taken in other institutes upon the proposal of the relevant department and the approval of the Board of Directors of the Institute. However, the total credits of the exempted courses cannot exceed 1/3 of the credits required to finish the relevant programme.

Profile of the Programme

The department of Molecular Medicine started graduate training in 2009. The objectives of this programme are to educate individuals having an advanced maitrise of basic and up-dated theoretical and laboratory information in molecular medicine and closely related fields, to train students in basic laboratory skills as well as those skills necessary for performing independent research: to train them in advanced data searching, project writing, project management, international scientific communication, and writing of scientific articles.
