Program tanımlarıThis is the nation’s first joint program that involves many departments from Izmir Institute of Technology and Dokuz Eylül University Health Science Institute . It is required that each student has to be co-advised by faculty members from both institutions. There are plenty of courses to take from both instututes.
In order to be admitted to this program, applicants must hold a masters degree from a related area or an MD degree. A thesis is required for the PhD degree. Continuous registration is required for all graduate students until the thesis is approved unless special permission from the Graduate School of Engineering and Sciences (IZTECH) and Health Science Institute (DEU) is obtained. The required course load is 21 credits for Ph. D. Mandatory courses are required for Ph. D. Degree. Minimum number of courses with credit is 7. Thesis (BENG 600, non-credit), Seminar (BENG 598, non-credit) and the qualification exam are required to take obtain Ph. D. Degree. An additional 3 credit course are required to take from elective mandatory course list.
Students from engineering background are required to take one engineering coded elective course and 2 science coded elective courses from the elective course list. Students from science background are required to take one science coded elective course and 2 engineering coded elective courses from the elective course list.
If students took the mandatory courses or their equivalent during their MSc, they could take elective courses according to their background.
Scientific Preparation Program for Graduate Education in Bioengineering
