Program Information
The Biomedical Engineering Master of Science program was established in 2014 to educate creative and qualified PhD candidates and biomedical engineers (with MSc certificate), who can define the human body as a comprehensive system using engineering methods and take part in the development of more effective diagnosis and treatment strategies. As of 2025, 3 Professors, 1 Associate professor, 4 Assistant professors, and 1 research assistant are working full-time in the department. Our Master of Science program is carefully crafted and updated periodically according to international standards to meet the requirements of both PhD requirements and graduate work environments.
1. To provide international level graduate education and to train biomedical engineers and future PhD candidates who can successfully take part in design, production, application and R&D studies in industrial and research institutions, who are creative, have a systematic approach to problem solving, are prone to teamwork, are environmentally sensitive, have social, economic and professional ethical awareness, responsibility and leadership qualities.
2. To contribute to scientific knowledge accumulation and produce solutions to the problems of national industry by conducting research that provides information and technology production.
Students who successfully complete this program are awarded a Master's Degree in Biomedical Engineering.
The Biomedical Engineering program is a Master's degree program, classified as Level 7 in the Turkish Higher Education Qualifications Framework (TYYÇ).
To graduate from the Biomedical Engineering Master of Science Program, students have to achieve a minimum of 3. 00 out of 4. 00 Grade Point Average and has to pass all of the courses in the curriculum with a minimum of CC/G grade (TOBB ETU Graduate Education Rules And Regulations, Article 9, Article 10). A minimum of 120 ECTS credits have to be earned for graduation. In addition, the students have to complete the mandatory seminar education and Master of Science thesis within a specified period, following well-defined specifications (TOBB ETU Graduate Education Rules And Regulations, Article 9).
Candidates, having Bachelors Degree, can apply the Biomedical Engineering Master of Science Program fulfilling the minimum requirements set by the Graduate School of Natural & Applied Sciences (ALES for the MS with/without thesis and proficiency in English language). The acceptance depends on the results of the scientific evaluation and the interviews made and the quotas announced by the Institute of Natural & Applied Sciences (TOBB ETU Graduate Education Rules And Regulations, Article 5).
Acceptance of the students, from other departments or universities, to the biomedical engineering Master of Science program is carried out by taking into consideration the provisions of the relevant legislations of the YÖK and within the framework of the principles and quotas determined by the TOBB ETÜ Senate (TOBB ETU Graduate Education - Examination Regulation, Article 32). The courses, in which students have received and completed from any previous higher education institution, can be accepted if it is related with the field of study and with the proposal of the advisor, the recommendation of the related department, and the approval of the Institute's Board of Directors.
Examinations and evaluations are carried out according to article 34 of TOBB ETÜ Graduate Education - Examination Regulation. At the beginning of each semester, teaching staff announce the type of exams (e. g. quizes, midterms, final exam), homeworks, practice and other studies in which the students are responsible and their weightings in the semester grades. The dates of the final examinations and the places where the exams are to be held are determined by the Rectorate. At the end students are graded based on the partial grades from those listed above.
