Ph.D. Programme in Physics started education in 2014 as part of Department of Physics. Language of the programme is Turkish. In 2015, Ph.D. students were accepted to the programme for the first time, and Ph.D. programme will be provided in various fields of physics. Academic staff consists three professors, one associated professor, one asistant professor and two research assistants. Ph.D. Programme in Physics has two students laboratories and two research laboratories which have technological equipments. Therefore, there have been modern classes and laboratories for students. Ph. D.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 Ph.D Programme in Physics are Semiconductor Devices, Renewable Energy Technologies, Liquid Crystals, Dielectric Spestroscopy, Field Effect Transistors, Condensed Matter Optics, Magnetism and Structural Properties of Metal Nanoalloys.
The mission of Ph.D. Programme in Physics 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 Ph.D. Programme in 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 PhD in Physics.

To get at least a grade of BB in order to be successful in each course of the program, for students who apply direct Ph.D. after bachelors.
[] 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 Ph.D. 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 and research centers, both in private and state sectors.
