General Description

History
The Institute of Science was established by the decision that was approved on the date, 01.03.2006 in compliance with the additional article 69 of the law no. 5467 and published in the official journal dated 17.03.2006, numbered 26111. It is currently affiliated to Ordu University. Student admissions were proposed to the council of higher education for the Department of Mathematics within the scope of The Institute of Science and started in the academic year 2008-2009.
Qualification Awarded
Students who successively complete the program will be awarded with a postgraduate diploma in the field of MATHEMATICS.
Level of Qualification
Second Cycle
Specific Admission Requirements
1. Having a bachelor’s degree in acceptable programs 2. Scoring enough and required marks in academic personnel and postgraduate education entrance exam. (ALES)
Specific Arrangements For Recognition Of Prior Learning (Formal, Non-Formal and Informal)
The recognition of prior learning process is still at an early stage in the institutions of higher education in Turkey. Therefore, the recognition of prior learning is not literally initiated in all programs of Ordu University.
Qualification Requirements and Regulations
In order to obtain a Master degree in Mathematics (or to gain the title of mathematician ), students are required; 1. to complete at least 24 credits of offered courses 2. to pass all courses taken with at least a letter grade of CC. 3. to take a seminar course and present it successively 4. to write a Master’s thesis and defend it successively to the thesis committee (or jury)
Profile of The Programme
The Department of Mathematics was established in 2006, within the scope of The Institute of Science. The Department has 13 academic staffs in total consisting of 1 Professor, 2 Associate Professors, 6 Assistants Professor, and 4 Research Assistants. The program was started for the first time with 4 students in the academic year 2008-2009. For each semester (fall and spring), only a certain number of students (specified by relevant boards) are allowed to apply to the program. The department provides education, training and research in the fields Calculus, Algebra, Geometry, Topology and Applied Mathematics as they are all considered the key areas of mathematics. Besides, the department staffs concurrently give opportunities to the students from other departments who want to take our postgraduate courses. Our vision is to train and support staff who have a voice in Mathematics both in national and international level, who perform works and studies contributing to science and technology with their research in pure and applied mathematics, who continue self-improving, and who have appropriate social leadership skills.
Occupational Profiles of Graduates With Examples
Students who graduate from the Department of Mathematics find the opportunity to work as a teacher in public or private secondary educational institutions and also they can work as a computer operator, a researcher and a planner in various public and private enterprises. Successful graduates may have a chance of working as a research assistant in universities and gain an opportunity of applying PhD programs of universities in Turkey or in other foreign countries. Furthermore, teachers affiliated to the Ministry of National Education will gain specialist teacher title after compilation of their master.
Access to Further Studies
Candidates who successfully complete Master program, and satisfy the conditions of getting a valid mark from the academic personnel and postgraduate education entrance exam and having enough knowledge of English language can apply for PhD programs.
Examination Regulations, Assessment and Grading
Students are subjected to take at least a midterm exam and a final exam for all courses. The contribution of the midterm exam and the final exam to Final grade is 40% and 60%, respectively. All exams are graded out of 100 points. Students are required to score at least 50 from final exam. Grades are expressed with 4 point grading system. Students who get any of the letter grades of AA, BA, BB, CB, and CC are deemed to be successful for that course. A student having the letter grade of DC will be considered as successful for related course if his/her average grade of the relevant term (corresponding GPA) is 2.00 or more.
Graduation Requirements
Students must complete three compulsory courses which are seminar, specialized field topics and thesis. Out of these courses, students must complete 60 ECTS of other courses and get the final average grade at least 2.00 on the scale of 4.00.
