GRADUATE PROGRAM
The graduate program in neuroscience is an interdisciplinary program designed to provide students
with a broad background and training in the neuroscience field. Our mission is to provide students
with the instruction, research experience, and mentoring they need to become leaders in research
and education. Students will take a variety of courses that focus on both systems neuroscience
and cellular and molecular neuroscience, as well as courses that are offered from different
departments including Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, Molecular
Biology and Genetics, Physics and Psychology among others. Areas of research include systems
neuroscience, cellular and molecular neuroscience, developmental neuroscience, cognitive
neuroscience, social neuroscience, behavioral neuroscience, neuroengineering,
neuroeconomics, neuroprosthetics and neurogenomics.
Master of Science in Neuroscience
Admission: All applicants are required to have a bachelor’s degree in science or engineering or
psychology or medicine or a related field. Evaluation of applicants is based on their ALES
(Akademik Personel ve Lisansüstü Eğitimi Giriş Sınavı -
Academic Personnel and Postgraduate Education Entrance Examination) scores, past academic records,
reference letters and an interview. Applicants who are not Turkish citizens and Turkish citizen
applicants who are residents of another country may take GRE instead of ALES. All non-native
speakers of English are required to submit a proof of satisfactory knowledge of English.
Degree Requirements: In addition to at least 21 credit units of course work, the M.S.
degree candidate must prepare and successfully defend a thesis. Expected duration to complete
the M.S. program is four semesters; the maximum duration is six semesters.
