Biomedical Engineering is the application of engineering principles and design concepts to the medicine and biology. Main purpose of this area is to develop treatment, follow-up and diagnostic methods, design and produce tools to solve problems in healthcare by performing a bridge duty between engineering and medicine.
Our mission is to train qualified and tended to teamwork, research and development engineers that can develop new methods for diagnosis and treatment in biomedical field by using their skills also know how to reach the knowledge and can produce new technologies via knowledge that they reached.
Our vision is to be a department that focuses on training engineers which are sophisticated in competing national and international level in Biomedical Engineering field, aiming to improve and develop in health sector and being lifelong learners.
Students who successfully completed the programme will be awarded an Bachelor's Degree in Biomedical Engineering.
[] Earned Level of Qualification
It is a programme that provides undergraduate (first cycle) education.
[] Admission Requirements
The admission of students to the programmes is made according to the Student Selection and Placement Centre (OSYM – University entrance exam) within the framework set by the regulations of Higher Education Council (HEC). After students inform the Student Selection and Placement Centre about what programmes they want to study at, students are placed in the related programmes according to their scores they got from the exam.
Foreign students are admitted to the related programmes with the scores of internationally acceptable exams such as SAT, ACT or are admitted to the related programmes with their high school graduation grades (Undergraduate and Graduate Programmes for Foreign Students Admission Guidelines).
The admission of students of General Academic Exchange Protocol to the related programmes are done within the framework of the bilateral agreements (ERASMUS, FARABI, etc) signed between Duzce University and the partner universities. Guest students may enrol into the courses in this programme, if the related academic unit approves. Sufficient language knowledge is required to monitor the programme.
[] Course's Contrubution To Program
To complete the available courses in the program (a total of 240 ECTS) successfully, the students have to get at least 50 points out of 100 and required to achieve 2.50 on a 4.00 weighted grade point average. To graduate from the programs students should get at least DD in all of the courses provided. Students are also required to complete the compulsory practice in the specified time.
[] Recognition of Prior Learning
Students enrolled in DU might be exempted from certain courses within the framework of certain regulations. A student can be exempted from a certain course provided related course content previously received from another institution complies with that of DU, which is subject to approval and verification by the Board of faculty/graduate school/school.
Recognition of Education Abroad
DU recognises academic terms and courses studied by a student that has been involved in an exchange programme for one or two terms at the universities with which a partnership was established.
Students that are selected to avail themselves of Student Mobility for Studies under ERASMUS are obliged to draw up an education agreement with relevant ERASMUS Unit Coordination prior to the mobility term. The education agreement demonstrates the courses to be studied at the partner university the student intends to go, as well as appropriate ECTS credits.
In addition to this, students shall be asked to issue a Recognition Sheet, which refers to the equivalent of foreign courses in DU, so that the credit transfer is planned and approved.
At the end of the exchange term, the courses studied abroad are recorded and demonstrated in the transcript, together with the original course codes and names and ECTS credits. Pursuant to ERASMUS Programme and Collaboration Agreements concluded thereunto, official transcripts will quote, an abbreviation signal of ET, European Transfer, for the courses studied abroad.
[] Description of Program
Biomedical Engineering department began teaching and education in 2015-2016 academic year as normal teaching (preparatory class elective). Our undergraduate program that is managed as 4 year and 8 semester gives education in a trending field among interdisciplinary engineering fields. Total number of registered students are 265 including preparatory class for 2019-2020 teaching fall semester. In department four assistant professor, one teaching assistant Dr. and two research assistants are working active.

Biomedical Engineers can work every level in healthcare sector. They can become expert in design, production, marketing, research and development and calibration topics. They have widely job opportunities in hospitals, prothesis production companies, pharmaceutical industry, disposable medical products.
[] The Upper Stage of a Transition
After graduation in undergraduate level, master of science in engineering or PhD degree can be earned by doing master of science or PhD via providing necessary exams and qualification.
Our graduates,
can have positive contributions to the competitive conditions of organizations in manufacturing, design and research-development activities.
can design systems and medical products being used in diagnosis and treatment and provide the necessary integration between them.
have a successful career in industry and research foundations and/or academic institutions and can show the continuous development in terms of vocational.
will be able to use the engineering knowledges accordance with the requirements of the community, to help the development of current and future technologies, to do team work and communicate, to provide to be beneficial to the community of the results of the studies in terms of social and ethical.
[] Examinations, Assessment and Grading
For each course, the method of assessment and grading is defined "Course Information Form" in details. Click for more information about regulations.
[] Graduation Requirements
To graduate from Biomedical Engineering department, total amount of national credits that should be completed is 164 that 42 of them is from selective courses. Total amount of ECTS credit is 240 that for every semester it should be 30. Education time for Biomedical Engineering is 4 years. Mid-term exam, homework, project etc. activities and final exams are included during 14 week course period for every semester. Also, students must complete a 25-day training in industry for graduation. Training is a pre-requisite for graduation and any credit was not assigned to it. Experience by training and necessary work load was considered in related courses, application and studying workload into program.
