[] About Program

Düzce University's Department of Physiology was established in 1992 within the Faculty of Medicine of Abant Izzet Baysal University. Our Faculty of Medicine continued its education and training under the newly established Düzce University with the law numbered 5467 in 2006. Since its establishment, our department has been conducting postgraduate (master's) education programs in the field of Medical Physiology.

The Physiology Master's Programme is carried out within Düzce University's Institute of Health Sciences and within the framework of relevant regulations. The aim of the Medical Physiology Master's program is to train science experts in the field of medical physiology who have a certain knowledge and skill accumulation, who have gained the ability to conduct scientific research, access information, evaluate and interpret information, and possess the ethical and social qualities of universal scientists. In addition to coursework, seminars, and practical studies, students pursuing a master's degree prepare a thesis. The duration of the master's program is 2 years.

Graduates of the Physiology Master's Programme can take part in academic staff positions in the Departments of Physiology of the Faculties of Medicine at all universities. They can carry out projects in the field of health in public institutions or the private sector. They can also continue their studies in various universities or research units abroad, like some of our graduates.

In our department, studies on cardiovascular system physiology, blood physiology, smooth muscle physiology, endocrine system physiology, electrophysiology, neurophysiology, and gastrointestinal system physiology are carried out.

The language of graduate education programs is Turkish.
