GRADUATE PROGRAM
The aim of the program is to develop students into mathematicians who can pursue original and creative research.
The program emphasizes research in pure and applied mathematics. At present, research in the graduate program is focused
on algebra, algebraic number theory, algebraic geometry, algebraic topology, analytic number theory, complex analysis,
functional analysis, non-linear differential equations and general relativity.
Master of Science in Mathematics
Admission: All applicants are required to have a B.S. degree in mathematics, or in a
related field of science or engineering. Students with a B.S. degree in areas other than
mathematics may be requested to take several undergraduate courses in the field to
acquire 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.

Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematics
Admission: Allapplicants are require to have B.S. degree in mathematics,
or in a related field of science or engineering. Evaluation of applicants is
based on their ALES
(Akademik Personel ve Lisansüstü Eğitimi Giriş Sınavı -
