General Description
|
|
| History | | The Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics started to provide education in 2016 with the change of the name and content of the Department of Biology, which started its educational life in the fall semester of the 2008/2009 academic year. In our department, students are trained in the branches of Botanic, General Biology, Hydrobiology, Molecular Biology, and Zoology. Graduate students are admitted to the quotas announced by the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics at the beginning of the fall and spring semesters each year in accordance with the admission and registration requirements determined by the Institute of Science. | | Qualification Awarded | | Master of Science | | Level of Qualification | | Second Cycle | | Specific Admission Requirements | | The applicants will be accepted with writing science exams prepared by the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics for the Master's program. Before the beginning of each semester, a number of students to be admitted to Master’s programs and the qualifications of the applicants will be announced. Also, this includes application requirements and deadline, writing science exam date and place. Moreover, the applicants who hold a Bachelor's Degree and willing to enroll in the Master's program may apply to the Directorate of the Graduate School with the documents: Sufficient score (at least 55 out of 100) from the Academic Staff and Graduate Study Education Exam (ALES) conducted by Student Selection and Placement Center (OSYM) or GRE Graduate Record Examination (GRE) score or Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) score equivalent to ALES score of 55. Equivalence of diploma obtained from out of the country must be approved by the Council of Higher Education (YOK). All applicants can apply for a Master's program with a document of ALES or equivalent, bachelor's diploma, transcript and also if applicants have a YDS (Foreign Language Examination conducted by OSYM) or equivalent exam score such as TOEFL or IELTS (not mandatory this document ) until the deadline. The assessment for admission to Master’s program is based on 50% of ALES, 20% of academic success in the undergraduate program (cumulative grade point average (CGPA)), 20% of writing science exam grade and 10% of YDS (Foreign Language Examination conducted by OSYM) or equivalent exam score such as TOEFL or IELTS (not mandatory this document). The required minimum writing science exam grade is 50 out of 100. The candidates having an assessed score of 60 at least are accepted into the Master's program.
| | Specific Arrangements For Recognition Of Prior Learning (Formal, Non-Formal and Informal) | | A student who is currently enrolled in a Master's Degree program in the same discipline at another institution and has successfully completed at least one semester, upon submitting all required documents (minimum GPA 75/100) before the deadline, may transfer to the Master's program at Ordu University upon the recommendation of the department administration and with the approval of the Administrative Committee of the Graduate School. A student who wants to transfer to the Master's program at Ordu University can apply with own transcript, student certificate and petition at least three weeks before the start date of the semester. Before the commencement of each semester, this application will be examined and decided prompt transfer of the student's eligibility by the Institute Board of Directors. Course credits that are appropriate or not to transfer the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics for the Master program at Ordu University will be decided by a supervisor, the Board of Department and the Institute Board of Directors at Ordu University. | | Qualification Requirements and Regulations | | Taking into account their commendations of a supervisor, Ordu University Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics master courses may be taken from the department or different departments. Students choose the approval of courses offered by the institute and designated by the decision of the department. The program consists of a minimum of eight courses delivered within the graduate program of the department and in related fields, one seminar course, and thesis, with a minimum of 24 local credits. The seminar course and thesis are non-credit and graded on a pass/fail basis. A student who has completed work on the thesis within the time period must write a thesis, using the data collected, according to the specifications of the Graduate School Thesis Writing Guide. The thesis must be defended in front of a jury. The Master's thesis jury is appointed on the recommendations of the relevant Department Chairperson and with the approval of the Administrative Committee of the Graduate School. A majority vote by the jury members determines the outcome of the thesis or examination. To correct or change a thesis found incomplete and/or inadequate by the jury, the jury must specify in its report that such corrections are necessary. A student may be given, by a decision of the Administrative Committee of the Graduate School, up to three months to complete the corrections. If a student successfully defends the thesis, he/she must press the thesis as a book. | | Profile of The Programme | | The purpose of the Master's program with thesis, which is carried out in Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics at Ordu University; to improve the scientific research ability of students who will receive graduate education in molecular biology and genetics and increase their knowledge, to gain the ability to access, evaluate and interpret information. In addition, master’s thesis studies are successfully carried out in the research laboratories of the department under the consultancy of faculty members who have sufficient knowledge and skills. | | Occupational Profiles of Graduates With Examples | | Graduates from this Master's program can perform different tasks in molecular-based diagnostic laboratories in private and public hospitals, IVF units in hospitals, research laboratories in hospitals, molecular-based research laboratories in the fields of agriculture and veterinary medicine, R&D units in the food and pharmaceutical industry, quality control and environmental protection units, studies to identify and protect biodiversity, research laboratories, GMO diagnostic laboratories, biomedical companies and biotechnology companies. | | Access to Further Studies | | Graduates who have successfully completed the Master's program in the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics at Ordu University can apply to doctorate programs in both their fields and in multidisciplinary fields, provided that they get a valid grade from the ALES exam and provide sufficient English language proficiency. | | Examination Regulations, Assessment and Grading | | In the Ordu University Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics graduate program, the student must attend the courses and get a passing grade from the midterm and final exams to be done by the faculty member. The success grade of a graduate course is the sum of 40% of the midterm exam and 60% of the final or final exam grade. The grade must be at least 70 in order for the student to be successful in the related course. Seminar courses and thesis work are non-credit and evaluated as successful or unsuccessful. After completing the master thesis, the student takes the thesis exam. The master's thesis exam consists of the presentation of the thesis work and the question and answer section that follows. After the completion of the thesis exam, the jury decides on the thesis mostly with acceptance, rejection or correction. Students who pass the thesis exam are entitled to receive a master's degree.
| | Graduation Requirements | | Candidates who will graduate from the Ordu University Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics graduate program must have completed at least eight courses, a seminar and thesis, provided that it is not less than 24 credits in total. A student in a Master's program with a thesis must write the results obtained regarding the thesis in accordance with the thesis writing rules of the relevant institute and verbally defend his thesis in front of the jury. After the completion of the thesis exam, the jury makes the decision of acceptance, rejection or correction with an absolute majority. The student, who has been decided to correct his thesis, will re-defend his thesis in front of the same jury within three months at the latest and must succeed if he succeeds.
