GRADUATE EDUCATION INSTITUTE - Civil Engineering - Doctor of Philosophy in Civil Engineering



General Description
History
In accordance with the Presidential Decree published in the Official Gazette on 05/07/2019, Bayburt University's Institutes of Social Sciences and Science were merged under the name of the Graduate Education Institute. Bayburt University has established an appropriate education model that includes interdisciplinary master's and doctoral education, which represents a first in the region. With the start of the 2021-2022 academic year, all graduate activities are now carried out under the Institute of Graduate Studies.
Qualification Awarded
Students who successfully complete the required courses in the graduate programmes of the department or other related departments and successfully defend their doctoral thesis are awarded a doctoral diploma in Civil Engineering.
Level of Qualification (Short Cycle , First Cycle , Second Cycle, Third Cycle)
Third Cycle
Specific Admission Requirements
In order to apply to the PhD program, candidates must have a bachelor degree or a master degree with thesis. Candidates applying with a master degree must have at least 55 ALES score in the score type of the program. In the admission of students to the doctoral program, candidates must score at least 55 points from YDS or a score equivalent to this score from an exam accepted as equivalent by OSYM. These candidates must have an undergraduate grade point average of at least 3 out of 4 or an equivalent score. In addition, candidates are included in the placement ranking of the program provided that the sum of 60% of the ALES score, 30% of the undergraduate graduation grade and 10% of the interview grade is at least 90 points out of 100.
Specific Arrangements For Recognition Of Prior Learning (Formal, Non-Formal and Informal)
It is also required to have a master degree or bachelor degree from the Civil Engineering department or acceptable fields determined by the relevant regulation and to have the required score from the graduate entrance exam (ALES) and valid foreign language exams (YDS, YÖKDİL, etc.).
