| Cognitive Neuropsychology Master's Program, which is the first in Turkey, was created based on the developments in the branches in the world where the brain and behavior relations are examined, the interest and need in this field. Due to the subject and scope of the program, the interdisciplinary approach was taken as a basis, and the curriculum and contents were prepared accordingly. The courses that make up the program's structure cover the fields of Cognitive Psychology, Neuropsychology, Genetics, Biology, Physiology, Neurology and Biomedical Engineering. In addition, the elective courses in the program are formed in groups (modular) to include the applications in this field. For this purpose, it is aimed that students have the appropriate courses and relevant application skills for their post-graduate career plans. Thus, there are a number and variety of methods to cover each of the sub-disciplines that make up the program. In addition, students are provided with extensive laboratory facilities in the program. There are Brain and Cognition Research Laboratory, Color Perception Laboratory and Basic Molecular Biology and Genetics Laboratory that students can benefit from both during the course and the thesis period. Within the scope of the 'Field Study' course to be taken in the second year of the program, students will be able to participate in projects in the mentioned laboratories based on their career planning, or they will have the opportunity to make an applied and supervised neuropsychological evaluation in neurology clinics. |
| This is a program. |
| The admission requirements for this program consists of criteria such as the cumulative grade point average from previous studies, ALES score, and a score from an officially accepted foreign language exam. The minimum requirements of these criteria are regulated by Bahçeşehir University. Students graduated from different programs (e.g. psychology, genetic, engineering, medicine, communication etc) can apply to the program. The admission exam consists of three levels. Those students who meet the minimum criteria mentioned above proceed to the second level, the written exam. And finally, those students who pass the written exam are invited to an oral exam to be assessed in terms of their suitability to the program |
| In order to graduate, the students need to complete 120 ECTS credits. Upon completion of this program the students will be awarded a Master of Science degree. |
| Students who are accepted to register in the Cognitive Neuropsychology Master's Program complete their graduate education or get an equivalent education. Those who have completed an undergraduate degree or an equivalent foreign training and possess the requirements determined by the University Senate may apply as a candidate of Cognitive Neuropsychology Master's Program. If the candidate is from discipline other than psychology which accepted by academic council, Scientific Preparatory Program is proposed as a prerequisite before starting the graduate courses. |
| Students who graduate from the program work in education and health institutions and organizations in both the private and public sectors. |
| Students who successfully complete their master's education in this program can study in doctoral programs in their field or related fields, provided that they get a valid grade from the ALES exam and have sufficient English language knowledge. |
