Program TypeMaster Degree With a Thesis Program
Level of Degree EarnedGraduate (Master’s Degree).
Degree EarnedPost graduate diploma is given to the graduates who successfully complete the post graduate study at the concerning department depending upon the graduate school of natural and applied sciences.
Education TypeTam zamanlı
Registration Acceptance Conditions(1) Candidates who apply for admission to a master programme should hold a valid bachelor’s degree and, except the applicants to the Department of Music, a minimum score of 55 from the Selection Examination for Academic Personnel and Graduate Studies (ALES) administered by the Student Selection and Placement Centre (ÖSYM). Instead of ALES score, candidates may choose to submit the scores of other internationally accepted examinations whose validity and equivalency are determined by the University Senate. (2) The final admission score is determined as the total sum of %10 of the undergraduate GPA, %50 of ALES score and %40 of the grade received in the entrance examination which is conducted by a jury determined by and representing the Department. The final admission score should be at least 65. The number of accepted students is decided prior to the admission and the successful applicants are shortlisted according to the scores starting with the highest ones.   
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 ProfileMaster of Engineering students specialize in one of seven programs: -Structure -Construction material -Hydraulics -Mechanical -Transportation -Construction management -Geotechnical
Occupational Profiles of GraduatesCivil Enginneers are involved in monitoring and guiding as well as devising and desining the building of roads, bridges, airports, tunnels, dams, water and sewage systems and other structures. They can work for local organisations and for private sectors. They can work in researching and teaching jobs.
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.
