INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE
- FIELD CROPS
- Master's Degree
General Description
|
|
History | The Department of Field Crops started to accept students in 2002, under the framework of Institution of Science, Karadeniz Technical University of Trabzon. The Faculty of Agriculture joined into newly founded Ordu University in 2006, with its all belongings, and therefore graduate education has being carried out within Institution of Science of Ordu University since then. The Fiedl Crops Department currently has 3 main divisions namely; Cereals and Food Legumes, Industrial Crops and Pasture and Fodder Crops | Qualification Awarded | Upon succesful completion of the program, the students are awarded with a Graduate Diploma in Field Crops | Level of Qualification | Second Cycle | Specific Admission Requirements | -1. An undergraduate diploma from acceptable fields 2 - Satisfactory score (at least 55) on Graduate Study Examination (ALES). In students acceptance to the program, the final passing grade of a student is calculated with the sum of 50% of ALES, 20% of undergradute grade average, 20% of writting examination and 10% of Foreign Language Examination (YDS).

To be awarded with a Graduate Diploma in Field Crops, the students are required to; 1. pass at leats 8 courses with 24 credit hours available in the curriculum, with a CC grade at least, 2. prepare and present a seminar successfully, 3. prepare a graduate thesis, defense it against the jury and submit the thesis to the Institute . | Profile of The Programme | In the Department, education-training and research activities are currently carried out within three main divisions namely Cereals and Food Legumes, Industrial crops and Pasture and Forage Crops. The main objective of the program is to provide the students with advanced level of theotical and practical knowledge and experience and to improve their ability to carry out scientific research individually or within a research team.
| Occupational Profiles of Graduates With Examples | The students graduated with a master's degree from the program, can primarily work as technical staff, researcher, field crops specialist, planner and officer in agricultural provincial directorates and research institutes of the Ministry of Agriculture. They can also serve in public and private foundations such as agricultural cooperatives and producer unions, agriculture-based industrial sectors (sugar, flour, feed and oil factories), seed sector and agricultural chemistry, the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, municipalities and universities. They participate in national and international firms working in seed industry, plant breeding and agricultural consultancy.
