About Programme

Gazi University Chemistry Department has a long history. In 1982, it took place as a separate department within the Faculty of Arts and Sciences within the body of Gazi University. In 2011, with the separation of the Faculties of Science and Letters within the body of Gazi University, it took its place among the departments of the Faculty of Science. Gazi University Chemistry Department has 5 departments: Analytical Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physical Chemistry and Organic Chemistry.



Within our department, there are 56 academic and 1 administrative staff, including Faculty Members of 31 Professors, 6 Associate Professors, 2 Assist Professors, 4 Lecturers (Applied Units) and 13 Research Assistants. There are 12 research laboratories in our department. In addition, our unit continues its educational activities with 6 equipped laboratories, namely Analytical Chemistry Laboratory, Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory, Organic Chemistry Laboratory, Biochemistry Laboratory, Physical Chemistry Laboratory and Instrumental Analysis Laboratory.

History
After the establishment of Gazi University, one of the well-established higher education institutions in 1982, since 1983, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, and since 2011, Faculty of Sciences, Department of Chemistry has been providing education/research services to the graduate students.
The Department of Chemistry continues its education/research activities for graduate students with 5 sub-disciplines: Analytical Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physical Chemistry and Organic Chemistry.
Department of Chemistry, with its current academic staff, aims to gain an identity with scientific and social precision to graduate students who are systematically research-oriented and take into objective and innovative values account.
Qualification Awarded
Master's Degree (M.Sc.) in Chemistry
Admission Requirements
General admission requirements stated under Info on the Institution on this website are being applied to start this programme.
Higher Grade Transition
Students who successfully completed the Master's Degree programme may apply to doctoral degree programmes.
Graduation Requirements
According to Gazi University Graduate Education and Examination Regulations (Official Gazette Date: 11.06.2019 Official Gazette Number: 30798):

Occupational Profiles of Graduates
The graduates with Master's Degree in Chemistry, can work in many different industrial areas such as pharmacy, food, agricultural, health, military, petroleum, environment, automotive, plastic, paint, mining and etc. and the laboratory-based jobs. Also, the graduates can work in educational activities as an academician in chemistry related departments in universities or participate in research groups as a researcher. The students that are successfully graduated from the program can apply for the doctoral degree in chemistry or chemistry related programs.
Assessment and Grading
(1) Students take the final exam and/or the final project in addition to the mid-term exams and/or mid-term studies. Examination calendar is published on the website of the related academic department.
(2) The success of the students is evaluated with the methods and criteria which are stated on the course description forms that are declared at the beginning of semester.
(3) Students are obliged to succeed in must courses. They can reselect a failed elective course or select another elective instead.
(4) Mid-term exams and/or mid-term studies and final exam and/or the final project are evaluated over 100 raw points. Letter success grades over 100 raw points are given for seminars, thesis studies, term project courses and proficiency exams. To succeed in courses, the minimum letter success grades must be CC for Master's degree and CB for doctorate and integrated (post bachelor) doctorate.
(5) A student whose raw point is under 25 fails the course by receiving an (FF) grade directly. The success grade of a student whose raw point is 25 or above is evaluated with the grades of which coefficients and definitions are stated below considering the general status of the class, average points and statistical range. After this evaluation, it is possible for the letter success grade equivalents of raw points that are 25 and above to be (FF).
(6) Coefficients and letter success grades are evaluated as shown below:
a)
Coefficients Letter Success Grades
4.00 AA
3.50 BA
3.00 BB
2.50 CB
2.00 CC
1.50 DC
1.00 DD
0.50 FD
0.00 FF
b) The letter grades other than the ones in the clause (a) are:
1) D: Absent
2) G: Not attended
3) E: Incomplete (The E grades which are not corrected until after 3 weeks from the finalization of letter success grades are converted to FF)
(7) The CumGPA is calculated via dividing the final grades of all of the courses throughout a student's study period by the total number of credits. The obtained CumGPA is shown with two decimals after the point.
(8) While calculating both the GPAs of semesters/years and the CumGPA, the letters grades from AA to FF are based on. G and D grades are processed as FF.
(9) All grades are included in the transcripts of students.
(10) For graduation, the CumGPA must be 2.50/4.00 minimum for Master's degree with or without thesis. Despite completing all the credits, students who cannot provide the graduation conditions take new courses to do so.
(11) Students who do not provide the attendance conditions or other course requirements cannot take the final exam of the course and are regarded as absent (D).
