Master's Programme in Physics started education in 2012 as part of Department of Physics. Language of the programme is Turkish. In 2012, graduate students were accepted to the programme for the first time, and Master's programme will be provided in various fields of physics. Academic
staff consists of three professors, one associated professor, one assistant professor and two research assistants. Master's Programme in Physics has two student laboratories and two research laboratories which have technological equipments. Therefore, there have been modern classes and laboratories for students. Master's Programme in Physics consists of five subprogrammes such as Condensed Matter, Atomic
and Molecular Physics, High Energy and Plasma Physics, Nuclear Physics
and General Physics. Research areas of Master's Programme in Physics are semiconductor devices, renewable energy technologies, liquid
crystals, dielectric spectroscopy, field effect transistors, condensed
matter optics, magnetism and structural properties of metal nano-alloys.
The
mission of the Physics Master Programme is to raise individuals who
comprehended the fundamental concepts of physics, can apply the gained
knowledge and skills in the experimental applications, choose scientific
method as a guide to themselves, in the mean time who does not ignore
the innovations and who can create value by making qualified studies in
both business and academical life.
The
vision of the Physics Master Programme is to be a department which keeps
both educational and scientific activities about physics at
international level and have a say in those activities, can follow
advanced technologies, supports the national education with educational
and research activities, and to be a leading programme which raises
graduate individuals contributing scientific and
technological researches.
Students who successfully complete the programme will be awarded an Master’s Degree in Physics.
[] Earned Level of Qualification
It is a programme that provides graduate education at master's level.
[] Admission Requirements
It is essential for the candidates of master's programme:
• To hold an undergraduate diploma.
• To have a grade of at least 55 in ALES (Academic Personnel and Graduate Education Entrance Exam) or any other exam accredited by YOK (Turkish Higher Education Institution),
• To be successful in the interview/ aptitude test.
• Exchange student applications are to be done in accordance with the admission requirements of the agreement signed between DuzceUniversity and the partner university.
• Visiting students can take the courses approved by the head of the related department.
[] Course's Contrubution To Program
Students studying master's with thesis are required:
• To take 7 courses and enroll in the Seminar course and Master’s thesis, and complete 120 ECTS. To get at least a grade of CB in order to be successful in each course of the program,
• To be successful in at least seven courses,one seminar course,thesis work and the defense of the thesis.
[] 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 master's programme in Physics is to bring up
individuals who will be aware of the big role and importance of analytical and
critical thinking, sensitive towards the social problems; therefore, they will
be able to analyze the problems also find solutions to these problems. The
programme also is aiming to bring up individuals who are interested in
researches and they will have the chance to to catch the opportunity to find
satisfactory jobs in the working fields such as universities, education and
research centers, both in private and state sectors.
