GRADUATE PROGRAM
The graduate program aims to develop students into scientists who can pursue original and creative
research activities. This program is an important part of the research activity which aims to produce
significant scientific output on an international level. The graduate program emphasizes research in
various fields of condensed matter physics, in relation to the rapidly developing high technology
fields such as photonics, nanoscience and nanotechnology. Presently, research is in progress in the
physics of electrons in lower dimensionalities,
nanoscience, statistical mechanics, many-body physics, strongly correlated electrons, properties
of new materials, fabrication and theoretical analysis of new devices, computational physics,
ultrafast photonics, optoelectronic devices, quantum optics, ultracold atomic physics.
Master of Science in Physics
Admission: All Applicants are required to have a B.S. degree in physics,
or in a related field of science or engineering. Students with a B.S. degree in areas
other than physics may be requested to take several undergraduate courses in the field
to acquire the necessary background. 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.
