| History | | Department of Biology which is the part of Graduate School of Natural and Applied at Bozok University has been offering education since 2008. | | Qualification Awarded | | Master Degree | | Level of Qualification (Short Cycle , First Cycle , Second Cycle, Third Cycle) | | Second Cycle | | Specific Admission Requirements | | Admission to masters programs is based on applicants' academic success in the undergraduate program, the score they got in the Graduate Study Admission Examination (ALES), GRE general or GMAT, their level of English language proficiency, and the evaluation of other criteria required and announced by the relevant department adminstration. For admission into a graduate study program, applicants must hold a Bachelor's degree, and the minimum ALES exam score determined by the department administration not being less than 70 in the score type required by the program applied. Not being less than 50%, to what ratio the ALES score will be taken into consideration will be determined by the department administration.

Mainly they may find jobs at Universities, Private and State Hospitals, Ministries (Forestry, Environment, Agriculture, Health), Institutions, Teacher (if holding teaching certificates, TUBITAK, DPT, DSI, private companies related to food, drug, R&D and municipilaties. | | Access to Further Studies | | Master degree owners with 70 National Academic and Graduate Entry Examination (ALES) and 60 language score (UDS, KPDS or equivalent) may apply to PhD program score may apply to PhD program. The master programs are designed to lead PhD degrees in any branch of biology. | | Examination Regulations, Assessment and Grading | | The examination, assessment and grading regulations have been set up for the university by the University Senate and the Department of Biology is bound by these regulations. Each course is assessed via a midterm exam and a final end-of-term exam, with contributions of 40% and 60% respectively. The marking is made out of 100. Grades of 81-100 is assigned a letter grade of AA, 76-80 BA, 70-75 BB, 60-69 CB, 50-59 CC, 45-49 DC, 40-44 DD, 30-39 FD and 0-29 FF. The AA is the highest grade and has a grade credit of 4.00, BA 3.5, BB 3.0, CB 2.5, CC 2.0, DC 1.5, DD 1.0, FD 0.5 and FF 0.0. Grades of AA to CC are pass, DD to FF fail, and DC is conditional pass and requires a CGPA of at least 2.0 for that term. The details given for each course in the programme include the detailed assessment methods together with a description of the second mid-term exam. Each student must register for each course at the beginning of the each semester and attend at least 70% of the each lecture and 80% of each laboratory work in each semester in order to have the right to take the final exam of each theoretical/laboratory course. The midterm examinations and the final examination are done in the pre-scheduled times. | | Graduation Requirements | | A masters program with thesis is comprised of at least 8 courses, not being less than 24 credits, a seminar course and thesis studies. The maximum period to complete course work in a masters program with thesis is 4 semesters. However, with the approval of their advisors, students can in subsequent semesters take additional departmental courses (under NI status) with or without credits.
The name of the Department program completed will appear on the Master's Diploma. If the student has completed the Master's program in the same field with his undergraduate degree, the profession is also mentioned on the diploma. | | Mode of Study (Full-Time, Part-Time, E-Learning ) | | Full-Time | | Address, Programme Director or Equivalent | | Postal Adress: Bozok University, Faculty of Science and Arts, Department of Biology, 66200, Yozgat
