General Description

History

Department of Biomechanics was established at 2003 as a multidisciplinary department of Institute of Health Science by approval of The Council of Higher Education. Our academic personel are from engineering (mechanical, elektrics and electronics, mechatronics, material and metalurgical,chemistry engineering) and clinical (orthopadics) departments. Bioengineering PhD program in colloboration with Izmir Institute of Technology has been started education at 2007. The language of program is English.

Qualification Awarded

Biomechanics Doktorate

Level of Qualification

Third Cycle (Doctorate Degree)

Specific Admission Requirements

Second Cycle Degree in the same or in related disciplines. Acceptable score on ALES (Academic Personnel and Graduate Education Entrance Exam) or Equivalent GRE, GMAT score. Acceptable score on Language Proficiency Tests. Acceptable weighted score based on the first or second cycle (with thesis) cumulative grade point average (GPA) and ALES score. However, ALES requirement is waived for the graduates of doctorate /arts proficiency/medical residency/ dental residency/ veterinary residency/ pharmaceutical residency programs as well as for the admissions to the graduate programs offered by the Conservatory and the departments of Fine Arts Faculty, where students are admitted only by the Artistic Aptitude Test. Final admission is based on the evaluation of the related academic unit committee. International student admission requirements are decided by the Graduate School Executive Committee.

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

successful student who has completed at least one semester at any postgraduate programme may be admitted to an institute at the University by lateral transfer. Requirements for admission of students by lateral transfer are determined by the Board of Directors of the Institute.Students who have matriculated after they have successfully passed the postgraduate entrance exam may be exempted from the courses they have already taken in other institutes upon the proposal of the relevant department and the approval of the Board of Directors of the Institute. However, the total credits of the exempted courses cannot exceed 1/3 of the credits required to finish the relevant programme.

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.
