| Registration Acceptance Conditions | In order to apply to the Tumor Biology and Immunology PhD program, candidates must; a) Be a graduate of the Faculty of Medicine or a graduate of the Departmental Master's program of the Faculty of Medicine, Veterinary Medicine or Pharmacy; have a master's degree in Medical Biology, Biotechnology, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Molecular Medicine, Immunology, Genetics, Basic Oncology or have a specialist authority in a laboratory branch according to the principles regulated by the Ministry of Health and have at least 55 standard points in the numerical score type from ALES or be successful in internationally accepted exams whose equivalence is accepted by the Senate instead of the ALES result and whose success base points are determined, and those who apply with a bachelor's degree must have at least 80 standard points in the numerical score type from ALES. Those who apply to the PhD program with a bachelor's degree must have a bachelor's graduation grade point average of at least 3 out of 4 or an equivalent score. b) In order to apply to the PhD program in basic medical sciences; medical school graduates must have a bachelor's degree and a minimum of 50 basic medical score or a minimum of 70 standard score in the numerical score type from ALES or be successful in internationally accepted exams whose equivalence is accepted by the Senate instead of the ALES result and whose success base scores are determined. The Basic Medical score is obtained by multiplying the standard score obtained from the (TUS) Basic Medical Sciences Test Part I by 0.7 and the standard score obtained from the Clinical Medical Sciences Test by 0.3 and adding them together. c) In order to apply to the doctoral program, a minimum score of 55 from YDS or an equivalent score from an exam accepted by the Interuniversity Board is required, and for foreign students, a minimum score of 55 from YDS or an equivalent score from an exam accepted by the Interuniversity Board in a language other than their mother tongue, such as English, French or German, is required, and the Senate is authorized to increase the aforementioned minimum scores according to the characteristics of the programs to be entered. Achievement grade in student admission to doctoral programs; The undergraduate degree is calculated by adding 20% of the undergraduate weighted GPA for applicants with a bachelor's degree, 50% of the standard score from ALES, and 30% of the score obtained as a result of the interview conducted by the jury established by the institute's board of directors for each department. In order for a candidate to be considered successful, the success grade must be at least 70. Students are accepted as many as the announced quota by ranking from the highest score to the lowest. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Recognition of Prior Learning | Successful students who have completed at least one semester in another department of the relevant university or institute of technology or in a postgraduate program of another higher education institution may apply for the horizontal transfer quota announced in the relevant department. Horizontal transfer is possible with the approval of the relevant department head and the decision of the institute's board of directors. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Program Profile | The Tumor Biology and Immunology PhD Program accepted its first students in the Fall Semester of the 2017-2018 Academic Year. Education and research activities in the program continue with 1 professor, 2 associate professors and 6 assistant professors. The language of instruction is Turkish. The program includes compulsory and elective courses related to the field of Tumor Biology and Immunology. Compulsory and elective courses related to the field are taken in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th semesters; thesis work related to the field is carried out in the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th semesters. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Occupational Profiles of Graduates | Graduates can become researchers and academicians in the basic medical departments of science faculties and medical faculties; they can take part in diagnosis and treatment processes, especially in areas related to cancer, they can conduct scientific studies in these areas and participate in studies. They can find jobs in the private sector in the pharmaceutical sector, biomedical companies and companies working in the field of biotechnology. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Access To Upper Degree | Graduates who successfully complete their doctoral education can receive further training in the same or similar fields at relevant centers in Turkey and abroad, particularly in order to conduct research and development studies and develop products; it is expected that this training will be more application-oriented in the field of biotechnology. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
