• Citizens of the Turkish Republic applying for Master's programs with a thesis requirement must possess a minimum score of 55 from ALES or an equivalent score from other exams like GMAT or GRE as specified by the Senate. ALES score is not required for admission of TC students who receive all their undergraduate education abroad.

Graduation Requirements

• A master's program with a thesis option means that by using scientific analysis methods, a student accesses knowledge and feedback, interprets and analyses it.
• A master's program with a thesis is based on a minimum of 21 credit hours with ten courses to be taken, including the seminar and a master's thesis to be written. The course and thesis of the seminar are non-credit courses, and the student is graded either as successful or unsuccessful.

• Following the completion of all the courses listed in the curriculum, and upon reaching a minimum CGPA of 3.00, each student’s performance is evaluated at the end of the fourth semester. On the recommendation of the thesis supervisor and the approval of the graduate study committee and department/program director, the period of studies can be extended for two more semesters for the completion of the thesis. The relevant form is filled in and the Institute Directorate is informed, accordingly. Students who become unsuccessful in thesis work or who fail to attend the thesis defense until the end of the specified period are dismissed from the Institute.

Diploma

Students graduating from the program are awarded an M.S. degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering.
