General Description

History

The Department of Molecular Medicine was founded in 2009 as a multidisciplinary department under the umbrella of the Graduate School of Health Sciences, with the legal approval from the High Council of Education in Ankara. Faculty members from various departments of basic sciences (Biochemistry, Medical Biology, Pathology, Histology-Embryology, Pharmacology, Basic Oncology) and clinical sciences (Paediatrics and Internal Medicine) take part in this department. MSc training in Molecular Medicine has been started in the academic year 2009-2010. The programme lasts two years including two semesters of courses and two semesters of thesis work. The programme language is Turkish.

Profile of the Programme

The department of Molecular Medicine has started its graduate training in the year 2009-2010. The objectives of this programme are to educate individuals having a good 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 thier thesis, to teach them how to analyse, make a synthesis, and evaluate, to train them in data searching and in scientific methodology and in effective scientific communication. Students can choose electives from other departments as well as from other universities.
