General Description

History

Biomedical Technologies is an interdisciplinary program, which offers joint training with Ege University, opened under the Institute of Natural and Applied Sciences of DEU. Meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board of Higher Education (dated 01.13.2011) examined and decided to open the Master's Degree program with thesis. Students who will graduate from this program will be highly trained in Biomedical Engineering (especially Biomedical Instrumentation and Biomedical Signal Processing in particular).

Qualification Awarded

M.Sc. in Biomedical Technologies

Level of Qualification

Second Cycle (Master's Degree)

Specific Admission Requirements

First Cycle Degree in the same or in related disciplines, Transcript, 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 cycle cumulative grade point average (GPA) and ALES score. The exceptions to the requirements of ALES and Foreign Language Proficiency scores is announced by the Graduate School. However, ALES requirement is waived for the admissions to the second cycle graduate programs offered by the Conservatory and the departments of Fine Arts Faculty, where students are admitted only by the Artistic Aptitude Test as well as for the graduates of doctorate /arts proficiency/medical residency/ dental residency/ veterinary residency/ pharmaceutical residency programs. 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)

According to the Regulations of Dokuz Eylül University for Graduate Schools, students may be accepted for graduate transfer with the approval of the Department Directorate and decision of the Board of Directors of the Graduate School in case the student fulfills the graduate transfer regulations decided by the General Council of the Graduate School. Previously taken courses at another graduate programme with a successful grade may be recognized by the related programmes with the written request of the students including course contents and the transcript, and by the recommendation of the Department Directorates and by the decision of the Board of Directors. The courses taken by the outgoing Exchange students may have the recognition at the school either as compulsory or elective by the decision of the Board of Directors.

Profile of the Programme

The Master's program in Biomedical Technology, together with the diverse fields it cover, aims to perform research and development, as well as training activities in the field of Biomedical Engineering, in order to help close gaps of our country in skilled personnel. Purpose of this direction is to provide, a high quality higher education on biomedical sciences and related technology disciplines to the students considering a career in the field of biomedical technologies. A total of 13 academicians from different disciplines such as Computer Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Bioengineering (Ege University) and Medicine Faculty Biophysics departments are participating in the program.
Biomedical Laboratory serves for development of biomedical systems, processing of signals measured from biological systems (i.e. EEG, ECG), and processing of pre-acquired medical images (such as MRI, CAT, X-ray imaging systems) for diagnostic purposes. Computer Lab: Computer applications of lectures are performed in this laboratory. Each student can use a computer on his/her own with internet access. Basic Electrical Lab: Hardware implementations of lectures can be performed.
Percentage of Courses Taught in English: 100%
