About the Programme

HISTORY

To be able to find solutions to recent problems and developing current solution techniques is only possible with having a strong mathematical background and analytical thinking. Besides, technological developments and science world requires to have advanced level of mathematics. Accordingly, theoretical mathematics has been improving a great pace along with applied mathematics. As a result of these developments, mathematics has about a hundred subfields recently.  The Mathematics Master Program at Düzce University has been aware of these realities and has adapted the curriculum which consists of both pure and applied mathematics courses since 2009-2010 academic year.

Our graduate alumni may continue on their academic career at eminent foreign or domestic universities. Some of the fields which the Mathematics Master Program alumni may concentrate on their professional life are being an academician, mathematical modeling and healthcare systems optimization, environmental issues, climate and cosmology, molecular dynamic, bioinformatics, encryption for credit card security, security in banking operations, safety in communication, modeling of airplanes, design of integrated circuit, investment planning and risk analysis.

MISSION

The objective of the graduate program in Mathematics is to bring up individuals who will foresee and  solve the problems in advance, have a point of view and a capacity of seeing relations between mathematical thinking and normal life, doing research, care about solutions and evaluating the results, represent our country at international platforms well. 

VISION

The aim of the program is to bring up eminent mathematicians who can make a contribution  at national and international platforms and represent our country well abroad.

[] 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
The objective of the graduate program in Mathematics is to bring up individuals who will be aware of the problems in mathematics, have a critical point of view and a capacity of doing research, caring about solutions and evaluating the results. Therefore, they will not only have a chance to take effective roles in setting up the future but also will be able to catch the opportunity to find satisfactory jobs in the working fields such as universities, education and research centers, companies which need mathematics and computing  both in private and state sectors.
