INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE
- FIELD CROPS
- Doctorate Degree
General Description
|
|
History | The Department of Field Crops started to accept graduate 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. In 2010, a doctorate program initiated to give education and training in Field 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 Doctorate Diploma in Field Crops | Level of Qualification | Third Cycle | Specific Admission Requirements | 1. A graduate diploma from acceptable fields 2 - Satisfactory score (at least 55) on Graduate Study Examination (ALES). 3. Satisfactory score (at least 55) on Foreing Language (YDS). In students acceptance to the program, the final passing grade of a student is calculated with the sum of 50% of ALES, 30% of undergradute grade average and 20% of writting examination. For a candidate, to be sccesfull, he/she has to score at least 65 as a final passing grade. | Specific Arrangements For Recognition Of Prior Learning (Formal, Non-Formal and Informal) | The students who successfully completed at least one semester at the same or equevalent programs and provide student admission requirements are accepted to the Master's Program at Ordu University.

To be awarded with a Doctorate Diploma in Field Crops, the students are required to; 1. pass at leats 8 courses with 28 credit hours (120 ECTS) available in the curriculum, with a CC grade at least, 2. prepare and present a seminar successfully, 3. prepare a Doctorate 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. Furthermore, they can set up, drive and manage her/his private agricultural enterprise. | Access to Further Studies | There is no any further studies for a doctorate degree | Examination Regulations, Assessment and Grading | The students are subjected to at least a midterm and a final exam in all courses they enrolled.

E-mail: ozbay_dede@hotmail.com | Facilities | Alongside comprehensive education and teaching activities to train qualified agricultural engineers, research projects intended for developing resolutions encountered in cultivation of field crops of economical importance in the Black Sea Region are primarily carried out in the department. The Department employs 2 professors, 2 associated professors, 2 assistant professors and 6 research assistants. In the department, research projects are mainly focused on cereals, edible grain legumes, oil, sugar and starch crops, meadow-range management and improvement, fodder crops, medicinal and aromatic plants, field crops ecology, plant physiology, plant breeding, seed production and technology. There are two plant analysis laboratories and one greenhouse available for researches. |
