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

Successful students who have completed at least one semester in the graduate program of a higher education institution, from within or outside the University, can be admitted to the institutes through horizontal transfer. Students who successfully complete the postgraduate entrance exams may be exempted from the courses they have taken during their education in other institutes deemed appropriate by the institute administrative board upon the proposal of the department. However, the total credit of the exempted courses cannot be more than 1/3 of the credit required to complete the relevant program.

Profile of the Programme

Cancer Epidemiology is a process that develops from basic laboratory research that develops new therapies for the treatment of cancer and requires an interdisciplinary structure that is constantly expanding and intertwined. In addition to the development of new therapies, the yet unresolved foundations of cancer are among the reasons that force a new approach in this field. In addition to a new medical approach, it is also an important rapidly developing field of biomedical research due to its focus on therapy. PURPOSE OF THE PROGRAM: A small number of clinical studies in the field of oncology, which are competent in the field of clinical research, Medical, Pharmaceutical, Biotechnology, Biomedical Industry R&D Laboratories, R&D To train PhD scientists and R&D personnel who can take charge in Institutes and Universities, follow international scientific and technological developments, are open to innovation, and are compatible with teamwork in result-oriented studies, and to train competent managers and personnel who will ensure national development in the medical device and pharmaceutical sector. It is planned to open the program to form a team that will answer the questions of what, how much, where, which is one of the most important problems of our country, specific to cancer. In addition, Epidemiology in the project of 2000 doctoral scholarship students in 100 fields opened by YÖK to train scientists with doctorate in priority areas. is a priority program.
