BIOENGINEERING (ENGLISH, PHD)


Profile of the Program

The PhD Program in Bioengineering aims to train experts capable of conducting advanced research in health, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, biomaterials, and medical devices by integrating engineering and life sciences. The program supports students in developing independent research skills, producing scientific publications, and engaging in interdisciplinary collaboration.

Qualification Awarded

The students who successfully complete the program are awarded the degree of Bachelor of Bioengineering

Level of Qualification

This is a program.

Specific Admission Requirements

In order to apply to the doctoral program, candidates must have a thesis-based master's degree and must have an ALES score of no less than 55 points in the score type of the program they are applying for, as determined by the Institute Board recommendation and Senate decision. In addition to the ALES score, a written scientific assessment exam and/or an additional interview result and a master's grade point average may also be evaluated for the acceptance of those who will apply to the doctoral program. Matters related to this evaluation, application conditions and other matters regarding student admission are announced to candidates through appropriate means upon the recommendation of the Institute Board of Directors and the rules determined by the Senate.

Qualification Requirements and Regulations

The students graduating from this program are awarded the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph. D.) degree in Bioengineering.

Recognition of Prior Learning

Students who will continue their education at Bahçeşehir University may be exempted from the courses they took at their previous educational institution within the framework of certain regulations. If the content of the course taken is compatible with the content of the course given at BAU and is approved by the institute directorate, the student may be exempted from this course.

Occupational Profiles of Graduates

PhD graduates in Bioengineering can work as expert researchers, project leaders, or academics in universities, R&D centers, and the healthcare-biotechnology industry.

Access to Further Studies

Students who successfully complete the program can apply for post-doctoral studies according to their areas of expertise.
