Program Description
In recent years, scientific studies in the fields of optics, electronics, materials science, and software technology have led to the development of new-generation defense technology products. In our country, the defense industry continues to develop every year through scientific studies conducted by both the public and private sectors. To further advance, there is a need to increase the number of skilled human resources who research and utilize advanced technologies. The Defense Technologies Master's Program aims to train researchers who can carry out national and international collaborations, keep up with the latest developments in defense technologies, possess the necessary design, manufacturing, analysis, and synthesis skills, generate innovative ideas, and direct R&D projects.
Established to achieve these objectives, the Master's Program in Defense Technologies conducts its studies with an interdisciplinary approach. Our program offers a wide range of courses that bring together various disciplines enabling research in materials science, electrical and electronic technologies, control systems, submarine technologies, optics, and lasers.
Our graduates have a wide range of career opportunities, including working as design engineers, research and development engineers, systems engineers, test engineers, and quality control engineers in many sectors such as machinery, electrical, electronics, computer, software, and communications, primarily in industrial organizations. Program graduates can also work in public and private institutions and organizations such as the Ministry of National Defense and the Defense Industry Presidency.
Program Structure
The Defense Technologies thesis-based master's program consists of a total of 21 credits, 7 courses, a seminar course, and a thesis study. The seminar course and thesis study are not credited and are graded as either successful or unsuccessful. The duration of the thesis-based master's program is a minimum of four and a maximum of six semesters. The duration calculation does not include the scientific preparation program. Semesters in which the student is not enrolled are included in the maximum duration.
