| FOUNDATION & HISTORY |
 |
| The deparment has undergradute and graduate programs leading to BS, MS and PhD degrees, in additition to offering basic math courses to other faculties. | | | QUALIFICATION AWARDED | | | The students who have graduated from the Department of Mathematics are awarded with a Master of Science degree in the field of Mathematics. | | | LEVEL of QUALIFICATION: | | Qualifications Frameworks in the European Higher Education Area (QF-EHEA), Level 2
European Qualifications Framework for Lifelong Learning (EQF-LLL), Level 7 | | | MODE of STUDY | | | Full Time | | | ADMISSION & REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS | | 1 - Bachelor's Degree in acceptable fields,
2 - Sufficient score from the National Academic Staff & Graduate Education Exam (ALES),
3 - English proficiency (500 from TOEFL / 6 from IELTS) | | | OBJECTIVE of THE PROGRAMME | | | The Department of Mathematics offers graduate courses to its own graduate students and to graduate students in other departments. In the Mathematics Department the work done on theses is based on research. Depending on the topic selected, the thesis topic could involve research into algebraic geometry and number theory, commutative algebra and ring theory, differential geometry, discrete mathematics, functional analysis, group theory, harmonic analysis and probability theory, Lie theory (finite and infinite-dimensional), automorphic forms, mathematical physics, nonlinear analysis, numerical analysis, ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations, and representation theory of p-adic groups. | | | RECOGNATION of PRIOR LEARNING | | The "Directive on Recognition of Prior Learning", Senate Decision No. 340 issued on July 28, 2023, has been accepted and entered into force regarding the students registered in all programs of Karadeniz Technical University to determine the principles to be followed for the recognition, crediting, and adaptation of the achievements acquired by the students at non-university institutions.
In this Directive,
- recognition of knowledge, skills, and competencies acquired with special interest through an exemption exam to be substituted as program courses,
- recognition of workplace and internship experiences through portfolio evaluation to be substituted as program courses,
- and the crediting of certificates received from accredited institutions regarding students' special interests are covered.
Announcements of courses included in the scope of recognition of prior learning, applications, and evaluation will be made on the dates specified in the academic calendar.
Recognition of prior learning will offer numerous benefits to our students and employers. For our students, increasing professional development and mobility in the labour market, preventing repetition of education and waste of time, providing early graduation, reducing the cost of learning, encouraging learning, and increasing the student's motivation and self-confidence can be counted among the benefits of recognition of prior learning. From the employers' perspectives, it will contribute to satisfying skill or competence deficiencies in the workplace, reducing the time employees spend outside the workplace for training purposes, and thus using resources more efficiently. | | | QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS and REGULATIONS | | To be able to secure the Master of science degree in the field of Mathematics, the students are required to;
(a) have passed a total of 21 credits (60 ETCS) courses in the curiculum with a grade of at least CC,
(b) have achieved a cumulative gross point average of at least 2.00 out of 4.00,
(c) prepared a master thesis, submitted and successfully defended with a passing grade.
KTU Graduate Education Regulations | | | EXAMINATION, ASSESSMENT and GRADING REGULATIONS | | | The examination, assessment and grading regulations have been set up for the university by the University Senate and the Department of Mathematics is bound by these regulations. Each course is assessed via a midterm exam, a second mid-term exam composed of quizzes, homeworks and assignments, and a final end-of-term exam, with contributions of 30%, 20% and 50% respectively. The marking is made out of 100. Grades of 81-100 is assigned a letter grade of AA, 76-80 BA, 70-75 BB, 60-69 CB, 50-59 CC, 45-49 DC, 40-44 DD, 30-39 FD and 0-29 FF. The AA is the highest grade and has a grade credit of 4.00, BA 3.5, BB 3.0, CB 2.5, CC 2.0, DC 1.5, DD 1.0, FD 0.5 and FF 0.0. Grades of AA to CC are pass, DD to FF fail, and DC is conditional pass and requires a CGPA of at least 2.0 for that term. The details given for each course in the programme include the detailed assessment methods together with a description of the second mid-term exam. | | | GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS | | | The students who have successfully completed a minimum of 21 local credits (equivalant to 60 ECTS credits) from thought courses delivered within the graduate programme of the department and in related fields, achieved a CGPA of at least 2.00 out of 4.00 and prepared and successfully defended a thesis are given Master's Degree in MATHEMATICS. | | | OCCUPATIONAL PROFILES of GRADUATES | | | The graduates get jobs in a variety of state and private sectors, besides serving as teachers in the secondary education programs. | | | ACCESS to FURTHER STUDIES | | Qualifications Frameworks in the European Higher Education Area (QF-EHEA), Level 3
