DEGREE PROGRAMMES

History

This program has been initiated under YÖK/World Bank Project in 2002 2003 academic year. This two year program is composed of four semesters, each 14 weeks duration. In these two years, academic courses, laboratories and also industry based learning are educated. Chemistry Technology Program provides education as secondary education as well as formal education.

It is aimed to supply the needs of the technician in the present and future. Thus, the chemical technician as a member of industrial chemical team is expected to have much more knowledge and predictions than skilled workers.
The main role of a chemistry technician is to assist the chemists and chemical engineers in the operation of industrial processes and laboratories applications. Therefore, it is aimed to educate the technicians who have extensive knowledge of basic chemical principles and ability to control and operate advanced technical equipments.

Profile of the Programme

Chemistry Technology program has been initiated under YÖK/World Bank Project in 2002-2003 academic year. The curriculum has designed to introduce the students to the fundamental concepts of chemistry and industrial chemistry as well as applicable hands on practice and experiments. In the Program, while courses are taught by the lecturers in the classes of the vocational high school, laboratories applications are performed by a chemist or chemistry engineer in the laboratories of the program. Also, the students complete their practice lessons to perform their eight weeks industrial based learning in the second class (40 days compulsory). Both formal and evening education are given in Turkish in the program. 65 students at first grade (formal education) and 65 students at first grade (evening education) as total 130 students are educated in the program. A Professor, an Associate Professor and two Lecturers are currently working in the program. Chemistry technology program has two laboratories named as general chemistry laboratory and instrumental analysis laboratory in the vocational school. In these laboratories, chemistry applications are done sufficiently by apparatus and devices which were supplied by YÖK/World Bank Project.

Key Learning Outcomes

Occupational Profiles of Graduates with Examples

Chemistry technician can work both in the chemical industries and other industries which require chemical processes, quality control, chemical analysis and researches. The industries (painting, detergent, cosmetics, paper, refinery and petrochemical, plastic, glass and food industries etc.) used chemistry for production, quality control and researches are presented more extensive job opportunities.

Access to Further Studies

According to the "Regulation on the Continuation of Undergraduate Education for Open Education Associate Degree Programs' and Vocational Schools' Graduates", the Vocational School Graduates, who wish to continue to the Undergraduate Degree, may register to the relevant departments by entering and succeeding the Vertical Transfer Examination (DGS).

Graduate students may apply to Bachelors programmes to the relavant fields of study such as Chemistry, Process, Polymer, Materials and Environmental Engineering Departments of the Faculty of Engineering and Chemistry, Biochemistry and Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Departments of the Faculty of Science.
