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 ProfileThe program aims at producing Environmental Engineers who are highly skilled and able to;1. Use fundamental sciences and engineering knowledge in Environmental Engineering and identify, analyze, and discuss the results. 2. Design Environmental products and/or systems by considering economical, technological and environmental limits. 3. Improve her/his personality and job skills sustainably, and reach to the knowledge along with technology, targeting to be successful in industry, R&D projects and/or academia by having the awareness of ethical values. 4. Work in multidisciplinary areas and have communication ability, tend to adapt him/her to working in a group, have mission and responsibility on social and industry necessities.In the education curriculum of Environmental Engineering department, fundamental science and engineering courses and the courses intended to have Environmental engineering knowledge and ability are given in the first four semester. In respect of 5th semester, elective courses are added into the curriculum that can be chosen by the students to improve themselves in specific Environmental engineering areas. In respect of 7th semester, in order to gain practical experineces, Sector Integrated Education programme is included.
Occupational Profiles of GraduatesEnvironmental Engineers may provide consultancy services for Environmental Risk Assesment and Environmental Impact Assesment projects. Additionally, treatment plant operation, raw material and energy recovery in production are main fields that Environmental Engineers may participate. 
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.
