| FOUNDATION & HISTORY |
 |
| The Department of Metalurgy and Material Engineering was established and started accepting students in June, 2014 at the Institute of Natural and Applied Sciences in Karadeniz Technical University | | | QUALIFICATION AWARDED | | | Third Cycle Degree | | | LEVEL of QUALIFICATION: | | Qualifications Frameworks in the European Higher Education Area (QF-EHEA), Level 3
European Qualifications Framework for Lifelong Learning (EQF-LLL), Level 8
| | | MODE of STUDY | | | Full Time | | | ADMISSION & REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS | | | 1 - Master'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 | | | meets the expectations of design process and characterisation departments in extractive matalurgy and advanced materia manufacturing sectors such as biomaterial nanocomposites, thin films elecronical materials and advanced seramics and provide basic information related to the these sectors. The graduate curriculum emphasizes communication, problem-solving and technical skills. | | | 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 Doctor of Philosophy Degree (Ph.D) in the field of Fiber and paper Technology, 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 3.00 out of 4.00, (c) prepared a doctora, submitted and successfully defended with a passing grade
