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 ProfileThe aim of the program is; (1) To gain the ability of using, interpreting and presenting the modern engineering techniques and the possibilities of access to modern information in engineering design and analysis. (2) To gain the qualifications of constantly open for improvement, creativeness and having responsibility and ethical values. (3) To increase the number of publications in national and international scale and to contribute to the development of science and industry with universal scientific studies on current issues. (4) To gain the ability to identify, to analyse and to solve problems of production and management. (5) To gain the ability to design and conduct experiments and to interpret the results by analysing them. According Master´s program of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering Department, the student has to take required and elective courses that are found in the related department’s postgraduate program in the first two semesters. The student has to give totally two seminars during course and dissertation stages and has to prepare a Master’s Thesis. Students whose thesis subjects are admitted by the Graduate School Administrative Board, take non-credit Special Topics course which are opened every semester by faculty members.
Occupational Profiles of GraduatesGraduates of the department can be employed as electronics and telecommunication engineers at Turkish Government agencies or private sectors. They have also the possibility of self-employment.
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.
