Since September 2009, students are accepted to Master of Science program of department of Biostatistics and Medical Informatics at Düzce University Health Sciences Institute.
Department of Statistics in Faculty of Science / Arts and Sciences and Faculty of Medicine graduates can apply to this program.
Regarding the minimum number of course credits to be taken in the program, Düzce University Graduate Education and Training Regulation will be based on. Program includes 14 elective courses along with 3 compulsory courses and 1 seminar presentation.
Students who do not have a Bachelor's Degree in Department of Statistics receive one semester or one year of scientific preparation courses that the Academic Board of the Department recognizes as appropriate.
• To train biostatistics specialists with a team spirit who are open to innovation, sensitive to mutual love and respect, ethical-conscious, made no decision without data and made consistent decision with little data.
• To raise the quality of education to international level
• To train graduate students who are experienced and equipped with modern knowledge and who will be able to respond the need because of the increase in methods and applications of biostatistics in today's scientific world
Students who have successfully completed the program are entitled to receive the Master of Science degree at department of Biostatistics and Medical Informatics.
This program is a graduate-level program.
It is essential for the candidates of graduate program:
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/institute/high 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 are required to prepare a Recognition Sheet. In this document, the credit transfer to be made is determined by showing the equivalents of the courses that the students will take abroad.
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. In the official transcripts of the students, there is an abbreviation of "ET" which means "courses taken at universities abroad under the ERASMUS Program and cooperation agreements" besides these courses.
