Education Type Tam Zamanlı
Registration Acceptance ConditionsIn order to apply to the Cardiovascular Physiology Master's Program; a) Faculties of Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Veterinary Medicine, Sports Sciences; Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation, Nursing, Physical Education and Sports Schools; Biology Department of Faculties of Science / Science-Literature; Physical Education and Sports Department of Faculties of Education; Nursing, Emergency Aid and Disaster Management Department of Faculties of Health Sciences and Health Sciences / Health Schools; Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics; Department of Genetics, and must have at least 55 standard points in the numerical score type from ALES, which is centrally conducted by ÖSYM, or must be successful in internationally recognized exams whose success base scores are determined by the Senate by accepting the equivalence of the ALES result. b) In the admission of students to graduate programs, the success grade is calculated by adding 20% of the undergraduate graduation weighted grade point average, 50% of the standard score obtained from ALES and 30% of the score obtained as a result of the interview conducted by the jury established by the institute board of directors for each department. In order for a candidate to be considered successful, the grade must be at least 65. Students are accepted as many students as the quota announced by ranking from the highest score to the lowest.
Recognition of Prior LearningA student who has successfully completed at least one semester in a comparable master programme at another accredited institution is eligible as a lateral transfer. Lateral transfers are generally admitted after being evaluated on a case by case basis and upon the decision of the administration of the Department and the Graduate School. 
Degree Requirements and Rules to take a minimum of 7 courses with a minimum of 21 local credits.
to succeed in all the courses with a letter grade of at least CC/S
to prepare and defend a master's dissertation
to have a Cumulative Grade Point Average of at least 2.00/4.00 with a minimum of 120 ECTS credits.
Program ProfileThe Master’s Program in Cardiovascular Physiology admitted its first students in the Fall Semester of the 2011-2012 academic year, and as of 2018, seven students have graduated. The program is conducted by one professor, two associate professors, and two assistant professors. The medium of instruction is Turkish. The curriculum includes compulsory and elective courses related to cardiovascular physiology. The first and second semesters consist of mandatory and elective courses, while the third and fourth semesters are dedicated to thesis research.
Occupational Profiles of GraduatesGraduates can be employed as research assistants or lecturers in medical faculties, schools of health sciences, and vocational schools of health services.
Access To Upper DegreeUpon successful completion of their master programme, the students are encouraged to embark on further academic studies on the graduate level (doctoral programme) on condition of having received the required score in ALES exam, possessing sufficient knowledge of English or another foreign language, and being successful in the entrance examination.
Exams, Assessment and Grading

For a student to have successfully completed the master programme, the GPA should be at least 65.
