Sustainable Urban Infrastructure Engineering Progr

DEPARTMENT OF SUSTAINABLE URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE ENGINEERING

Program Information

About the Program

The Master's Program in Sustainable Urban Infrastructure Engineering is interdisciplinary, focusing on urban infrastructure engineering and sustainability concepts. The program aims to educate research-oriented postgraduate students who can provide sustainable engineering solutions to the problems caused by the rapidly increasing urban population. These students should have the knowledge and skills to address problems from the perspectives of different disciplines. Faculty members from Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, Industrial Engineering, and Electrical-Electronics Engineering support the program.

Program Objectives

1. Graduates work as specialists, technical staff, or managers in urban infrastructure engineering fields within private sector companies or public institutions, both domestically and internationally.

2. Graduates continue their doctoral education in departments related to urban infrastructure in universities, both domestically and internationally, and take on academic positions.

3. As innovative and research-oriented individuals, graduates contribute to society in line with national or global technological needs, participating in national or international projects and initiatives related to urban infrastructure systems and their sustainability.

Degree Awarded: Master's Degree

Duration and Credits: 2 years, 120 ECTS

Level of Qualification: Master’s Degree, EQF-LLL: Level 7, QF-EHEA: Level 2

Admission Requirements

Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree and present acceptable results from central foreign language exams (YDS, YÖKDİL) recognized by YÖK, or an equivalent score from international exams (TOEFL) accepted by ÖSYM. The score must meet the program's requirements as determined by the Senate. Additionally, applicants must achieve the minimum ALES score or its equivalent as determined by the Senate. Applicants must also pass the required oral interview for the master’s program they are applying to. International students must meet the university's specific requirements.

Recognition of Prior Learning

• Course Exemption: Courses previously taken must have been taught in English, and the overall GPA must be at least 3.00 out of 4.00, with approval from the relevant university board.
• Transfer Admission: Students who have completed at least one semester in a graduate program at another university, with a GPA of at least 3.00 out of 4.00 and having completed at least two courses, can apply for transfer admission. The conditions for acceptance through transfer are determined by the Senate.

Graduation Requirements

Students must successfully complete 7 courses, a seminar, and ethics courses, achieve a minimum GPA of 3.00, complete 120 ECTS credits, and pass the thesis defense examination. Additionally, students must submit three bound copies of their thesis and other required documents to the institute within one month of the thesis defense date. If the thesis is approved in terms of format, the student earns a master's diploma.
