General Description

History

Chemistry Department was established in 1998 as a Department of Faculty of Arts and Sciences which turned out later the Faculty of Science in 2008. Chemistry Department consists of Analytical, Biochemistry, Inorganic, Organic and Physical Chemistry as main scientific branches. Department of Chemistry offers one year English Preparatory School.
Graduate study is also available in Chemistry both at Masters and PhD level by the coordination of Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences. The students who complete two years educational program and a thesis receive their Master of Science (M. Sc.) in chemistry degree. After the master's program, a four-year doctoral education program with thesis will also be offered. The mission of the Chemistry Department is to produce well trained, creative, researcher, analytical thinker and practitioner personnel who have scientific thinking in the direction of the requirements and the development of both chemistry and industry. In addition, it is to be able to use the earned knowledge in the solutions of problems of national, regional industry organizations and to do research and publications in various fields of chemistry such as plastics, drug, dye, petroleum chemistry, metal, textile, ceramic, cement, detergent-soap, food, cosmetic, glass and packages-paper industries. The vision of the Chemistry Department is to improve organizational ties with the world of chemical science and chemical technology in national and international fields and to create a competitive environment for bringing chemistry education and research to a level equivalent to worlds and Europeans highly qualified universities.

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)

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.

Qualification Requirements and Regulations

4 years, 2 semesters per year, 16 weeks per semester, 240 ECTS in total.

Profile of the Programme

The Department contains five subdivisions; analytical, bio-, inorganic, physical and organic chemistry. The Chemistry graduate program s includes one-year English language preparation period followed by 2 years for M.Sc. and four years for Ph. D. works. Chemistry graduate degrees programs are designed to provide the students the high academicals levels of chemistry. The first year courses mainly consist of general graduate level selective chemistry courses and one compulsory mathematic course. The elective courses include analytical, bio-, inorganic, organic and physical chemistry main areas. After these courses, M.Sc and Ph.D. thesis also include laboratory studies to provide technical skills necessary to enter their career as chemists. It was mainly aimed to give the students an analytical approach for solving any problem and handling complex information as well as the laboratory experience. The program consists of a total of twenty two academicians .

Occupational Profiles of Graduates with Examples

Our graduates are qualified to work in food analysis, water-waste water analysis and environmental analysis, biochemistry laboratories, research-development centers, hospitals and also in quality certification education and environmental advisory companies. It is also possible to work in the area of work safety experts. Alumni of the Chemistry Department also serve as researchers, practitioners and consultants in production quality control departments and in development of production methods (R & D) in various industry organizations. Job opportunities for them in the research units of public and private organizations are very high.

Access to Further Studies

May apply to post doctorate programmes.

In addition to the compulsory courses of the programme, students register to elective courses appropriate for their thesis topic, on the consent of their supervisor. If necessary, on the consent of their supervisor, they can also register to courses from other programmes (from DEU or other universities). It is obligatory to register MAT5101 Applied Mathematics (3 0 0) or MAT5102 Numerical and Approximate Methods (3 0 0) or MAT5151 Methods of Applied Mathematics (3 0 0) with approval of the supervisor. In the case of one of these courses taken during the M.Sc. education, these are not obligatory. The registration must be noticed to the Institute during course registration period by the supervisor.
