Profile of the Program

The aim of the program is to train students as research engineers who have basic knowledge on subjects such as science, human anatomy and physiology, mathematics, system modeling and analysis, materials, electronics, control, and computers; theoretical and practical skills to design, produce and operate medical products and devices; and an understanding of professional responsibility.

Qualification Awarded

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

Level of Qualification

This is a Bachelor’s Degree (First Cycle) program.

Specific Admission Requirements

Admission is through university entrance examinations (YGS-LYS) prepared in the framework of the regulations set by Higher Education Council of Turkey (YÖK). International students are admitted according to the score of one of the international exams they take such as SAT,ACT etc. or according to their high school diploma score. Exchange student admission is made according to the requirements determined by bilateral agreements signed by BAU and the partner university. Visiting students can enroll for the courses offered in this program upon the confirmation of the related academic unit. Additionally, they need to prove their English language level since the medium of instruction at BAU is English.

Qualification Requirements and Regulations

En az 2.00/4.00 Genel Not Ortalaması. Tüm derslerden geçer (NA, F, I, U ya da W dışında) not.

Recognition of Prior Learning

Full-time students admitted to the program may be exempted from a course taken previously in another institution provided its equivalence to the course offered at BAU is approved by the department.

Occupational Profiles of Graduates

The graduates will have a chance of pursuing a professional career at hospitals and clinics, medical research centers, universities, medical and pharmaceutical companies, and IT departments of healthcare centers.

Access to Further Studies

The students graduating from this program may apply to second cycle (Master's degree) programmes.
