General Description

History

The Department of Molecular Medicine was founded in 2018 with the approval of High Council of Education (YOK) as a multidisciplinary department. The academic faculty are from the departments of Medical Pathology, Basic Oncology, Medical Genetics as well as Molecular Biology and Genetics, Dokuz Eylul, Altınbas and Acıbadem Universities as well as Harvard University. The duration of training is totally eight half years and should be finished in maximum 12 half years. . The language of programme is Turkish. The academic staff includes 10 full, 5 associate and 1 assistant professors.

Qualification Awarded

Doctorate Degree in Molecular Pathology, PhD

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)

A 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.

Qualification Requirements and Regulations

The programme is 4 years long, each year is two half years and each half year is 16 weeks. 240 ECTS is required. The PhD programme is composed of at least 21 credits including 7 courses, seminers, thesis studies and field study.

Profile of the Programme

The objectives of this programme are to educate pathology specialsts to achieve advanced knowledge of basic and laboratory information in molecular pathology, to train students in molecular pathology laboratory skills as well as skills necessary for performing independent research; to train them in methods of information acquisition, project writing, management, and writing articles.
