About Programme
|
Neuroscience is a multidisciplinary area for different specialties towork together on mind, brain and nervous system and includes related basic and clinical concepts. It aims to understand and investigate function of mind and healthy brain functioning, in addition to pathological changes associated with neurological and psychiatric diseases, to model clinical disorders and search for new treatment modalities. Neuroscience PhD program was first founded in 1997-1998 term in Gazi University. This program is going on by contribution of a multidisciplinary team involved in brain dynamics in Gazi University.
In Neuroscience laboratory of Neuropsyhiatry Centre and Motor control Laboratories, research facilities are used primarily for experimental and clinical electrophysiological studies, detailed pain and mood related behavior research and immunohistochemistry studies. In addition, faculty members of our department work in the establishment of "Neuroscience and Neurotechnology Center of Excellence NÖROM (https://noro-m.org)". Doctoral program students can also benefit from the facilities of this center. Also our school programme has been assessed in line with the NENS eligibility criteria, has become part of NENS, and now listed on the NENS Programme Directory: https://www.fens.org/Training/NENS/NENS-Programme-Directory/Neuroscience-Doctoral-Program/

History
Neuroscience is the collaborative field of different disciplines dealing with the mind, brain and nervous system, and it is a discipline that includes related basic and clinical concepts. It aims to understand the normal functioning of the mind, to analyze healthy brain functions, to understand neurological and psychiatric diseases, to make clinical models and to reveal new treatment options. Neuroscience PhD program at Gazi University started for the first time in 1997-1998 academic year. It is carried out with the participation of faculty members from different disciplines who are interested in brain dynamics in the Faculty of Medicine.
By using the research facilities in the neuroscience laboratory and motor control laboratories of the Neuropsychiatry Center, mainly electrophysiology, pain and mood-related behavioral and immunohistochemical studies as well as clinical electrophysiology studies are carried out.
In addition, faculty members of our department are working in the establishment of "Neuroscience and Neurotechnology Center of Excellence NÖROM (https://noro-m.org)". Doctoral program students can also benefit from the facilities of this center.
In addition, our PhD program has been accepted according to the NENS criteria and is included in the NENS Program list: https://www.fens.org/Training/NENS/NENS-Programme-Directory/Neuroscience-Doctoral-Program/

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).
