DEGREE PROGRAMMES

History

Geophysical Engineering Master's and Doctorate programs have been serving students at Bornova Campus between 1982 and 1999, and at Buca Tınaztepe Campus since 1999. Applied Geophysics I and II, Seismology I and II, Earthphysics I and II laboratories and Department's field equipment and seismic data processing laboratories are actively used within the scope of Master and Doctorate programs. Since Dokuz Eylul University, to which our department is affiliated, is located in one of the metropolitan cities of Turkey, our graduate students also benefit from the advantages of the metropolitan city, and this is one of the reasons why we are preferred.
