About Programme
Physics department was established for educational activities (with 1 Assoc. Prof., 4 asistant proffessor and 3 research assistant) with decree law no.41 dated 20 June 1982 and Law no. 2809 dated 30 March 1982 which accepted the decree law with changes. However, our faculity? s name was changed to Science Faculity with the Council of Ministry desicion at 2011. Since then, our department as a Science Faculity Physics depertment has been carrying out its activities with 6 sub-branches which are named as Statistical Physics, Atomic and Molecular Physics, General Physics, Condensed Matter Physics, Mathematical Physics and Nuclear Physics areas and 60 instructors(29 Professors, 14 Assoc. Prof., 12 Research Asisstant, 5 Lecturer).
PROG. Director
Prof.Dr. Bülent KUTLU
History
The Physics Department, which was established in 1982, continues to operate with Undergraduate and Postgraduate Programs (Master's and Doctorate). Our department has eight departments: General Physics, Atomic and Molecular Physics, Statistical Physics, Mathematical Physics, Nuclear Physics, Condensed Matter Physics, Plasma Physics, and High Energy and Particle Physics.
Qualification Awarded
Bachelor''s Degree in PHYSICS
Admission Requirements
General admission requirements stated under Info on the Institution on this website are being applied to start this programme.
Higher Grade Transition
Graduated students can apply to graduate programs (master's degree, doctorate).
Graduation Requirements
The diploma which is bachelor´s degree in physics is given to the students who completes all theoretical and experimental courses and take 240 AKTS credits.
Occupational Profiles of Graduates
Higher education students can work as a teacher, can join to teacher formation program, physics graduates underpin and work in the departments of engineering research and development laboratories in various fields of industry, and they can provide useful services. Our graduates can work as a physicist in some places such as Mineral Research and Exploration Institute of Machinery and Chemical Industry Corporation, the State Hydraulic Works, Turkey Scientific and Technical Research Council, Atomic Energy Authority, Private Entities Calibration Centers, Hospitals and Private Hospitals School of Medicine Oncology Center, Nuclear Medicine Center, Physical Therapy Centers and public and Similar private sector research sectors.
Assessment and Grading
Measurement and Evaluation
For each course taken, students are given a letter success grade at the end of the semester/year.
This grade is given by the instructor of the course.
While evaluating the letter grade, a student?s success at classes, mid-terms/final examinations and attendance to classes are considered. The calculation of the letter grade is determined by the approval of the related academic unit and the Senate.
The success grade of a student is calculated over 100 points. This grade is called raw success point.
A student whose raw success point is under 25.00 is directly given an FF grade and the student fails the course. The success grade of a student whose raw success point is 25.00 and above is evaluated by using the methods determined by the board decisions of the Educational Commission of the University and the Senate; with the letter grades of which coefficients and explanations are mentioned below. After this evaluation, it is also possible that the raw success points 25.00 and above may become FF letter grades.
Coefficients and letter success grades are evaluated as shown below:
AA (4.00), BA (3.50), BB (3.00), CB (2.50), CC (2.00), DC (1.50), DD (1.00), FD (0.50), FF (0.00).
The letter grades other than the ones in the clause ?a? are:
D: Did not Attend the Course
G: Did not Attend the Exam
E: Incomplete (The E grades which are not corrected until after 3 weeks from the finalization of letter success grades are converted to FF)
VZ: Withdrawn
A student whose letter success grade is (AA), (BA), (BB), (CB), (CC), (DC) or (DD) is considered as succeeded the course. However, the CumGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) of the student must be at least 2,00 for graduation.
