Degree earned as a result of the doctoral program: 'Doctor' in Environmental Engineering

 

Admission requirements for the doctoral program: Applicants with a master's degree must score at least 55 points from the standard ALES and YDS (ÜDS related to the field) or equivalent exams in the program's score type and have a master's graduation grade point average of 75/100. Evaluation: It is calculated by taking 50% of the ALES grade, 20% of the master's graduation grade, 20% of the YDS or equivalent exam score, and 10% of the scientific evaluation exam. Candidates scoring 70 and above are ranked and the main and reserve lists are determined. In case of a tie, priority is given to the candidate with the higher undergraduate graduation grade. The candidate must take the scientific evaluation written and oral exams to be held by the relevant program/department head. Candidates who do not take one of the exams are considered unsuccessful.
