About Programme
The Department of   Environmental Sciences has been pursuing its   masters program     since its establishment in 1997.   The  education, thesis and project studies in this program are carried out by faculty members in the relevant departments within the Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences. The main aim is to make a modern and innovative scientific structure sustainable in accordance with the developments in the world and in the environment in our country.     In     recent years, more and more environmental problems have started to arise due to    the wrong and unconscious use of technology and industry in the world and in our country.  In our country, undergraduate education from various professions is given in many  universities. these young people participate in the system with education in their  fields; however, they are   often incapable of understanding the   environmental dimension of  their profession and producing jobs accordingly.  That's  where the importance of environmental sciences becomes apparent.  Because the  answer to many environmental problems often   comes from more multidisciplinary approaches to many subjects.    Likewise, Environmental Sciences is a   multidisciplinary approach and has become an increasingly important  scientific field in recent years.  As the studies    on environmental science increase, the need for units that undertake these studies scientifically within an institutional structure and in the scientific base of science    is increasing in   our country.  The chance of Gazi University is to have a scientific structure in this regard, namely, to have made the Department of Environmental Sciences work within the Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences. As a matter of fact, this   department, which was founded in 1997, has become an  even prosperous format by adding   the PhD Program years ago to the educational activities.

Assessment and Grading
Examination Regulations, Assessment and Grading
Measurement and Evaluation
(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; 3,00/4,00 minimum for doctorate or integrated (post bachelor) doctorate programmes. 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).
