Profile of the Programme

Bioengineering PhD program has been started education at 2007. The oblectives of this programme are; Interdisciplinary nature of bioengineering and understanding of its interactions with different areas, the use of the basic knowledge gained during undergraduate education in bioengineering applications, learning the assumptions and the limits in scientific approaches with living organisms, creating an awareness of current bioengineering techniques. The program provides an introduction to the areas of specialization for doctoral research in bioengineering, aiming to orientate students throughout their academic and professional lives.Program contains Compulsory Course of Institute, compulsory course of Biomechanics department and elective courses in different bioengineering fields. Students may take courses from different programs and university.
