Graduates of a master program in chemistry obtain a diploma with the title of ‘‘Doctor in Chemistry’’ and may go on his/her career either as a faculty member in universities to conduct independent scientific activities or find a job in industry depending on their field of specialty.
Doctorate
To be admitted to the Ph.D. program, candidates are required: 1.To have either a 5-year undergraduate diploma or Master’s Diploma in the field determined by the executive board of Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences for admition. 2- To have received at least 55 science points in the ALES (Academic graduate education examination). 3- To have obtained at least 55 points from UDS or KPDS or the equivalent of this point from an equivalent foreign language exam (TOEFL, etc) 4- To have obtained at least 65 points upon summing up 60% of the ALES science points and 20% of under graduate AGNO (Undergraduate Nominal Grade Average), and 20% of graduate AGNO (graduate Nominal Grade Average). 5-To take place among the candidates with the highest grades who are listed beginning from the highest points, considering the number of the students to be admitted. 6- To have completed successfully the science preparatory class in 1 year if admitted with the requirement to attendant science preparatory class. 7- Students from other nationalities are required to have knowledge of Turkish language at B2 level (or 70 out of 100 achievement) according to ELP (European Language Portfolio). 8- Students from the Chemistry Departments in other universities are also admitted providing that they meet the requirements of interuniversities students transfer. 9- Requirements for application and admission to the program are announced in the website (www.fbe.atauni.edu.tr) of Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences before each academic term has began.
Students who have done their M.Sc degrees in Chemistry or Chemistry Education programs can be directly admitted to the department. However, the students who have received their Bachelor degrees from other fields can be accepted to the program only after taking required preparation courses in one academic year (two semesters).
In order to receive a PhD degree in Chemistry field, students have to successfully complete compulsory and elective courses, give a seminar about their thesis subjects, and present and defend a review or original research thesis.
The main aim is to make it possible for students acquiring the right to enroll Chemistry Ph.D. program to become experts as Ph.Doctors in their fields by adding new and more advanced knowledge they already received while studying for graduate and undergraduate level. It is also aimed to provide better research opportunities for the graduate holding Ph.D. degree in the field of Chemistry and being able to conduct studies in new field of science, and tooffer them the chance to make independent researches and to have academic competence.
The department focuses on training Chemistry science Ph.D. skilled in their field being at the knowledge level of contemporary science and following recent developments in the field of chemistry. In addition to this it is aimed to provide the opportunity to obtain knowledge related to Chemistry from various sources, to use it, to improve it and to establish links with other field of research.
It is compulsory to have at least 70% attendance for each graduate course in a semester . Achievement is measured through in term assessment (assignments, midterm exams) and with final exams. Examinations are applied in various ways as written, oral, or both written and oral, and/or practictise. At least one midterm exam is to be given for each course. Detailed explanations regarding the assessment and evaluation in the courses take place in the course information page. Examinations are assessed through grades out of 100. Passing grade is calculated by adding the 40% of the average of midterm exam grades to the 60% of the Final or make up exam. In Ph.D. Programs passing grade is at least 75 out of 100 and 2,5 BC out of 4. Success in elective courses, special field courses, seminars and dissertation studies is indicated by using G (passed) or B (succeeded). While calculating average passing grade the courses defined as passed (G), succeeded (B) exempted (M) are not taken in to consideration. Detailed explanations regarding the equivalents of passing grades out of 100 in full mark 4 points system and letter representation system are given in the regulation announced in the website (www.fbe.atauni.edu.tr ) of Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences.
1- To have taken and passed at least 24 credit hours (8 courses) achieving with minimum BC 75 points (out of 100). 2- To succeeded in the competence exam. 3- To have obtained approval of thesis observation committee of the Ph.D. Thesis proposal. 4- To have prepared a Ph.D. Thesis in the field of Chemistry and to have succeeded in dissertation defense. 5- To have done achieved academic activities at least in the range of 180-240 ECTS units.
