The Graduate Program in Mechatronics provides an in-depth knowledge in the fundamentals, design, analysis and operation of mechatronic systems. The student body that the program aims at consists of the graduates of Engineering and Physics programs and graduates of Mechatronics, Electrical, Electronics and Mechanical Education Departments of Faculty of Technical Education, who are currently employed in the automation-control industry or have a personal interest in the field and wish to apply for professional positions in industry. Courses take place between 19:00-21:50 on weekdays and between 10:00-12:50 and 14:00-16:50 on Saturdays.

 

For the completion of the program, the students will be required to take 30 credits of coursework. Students can finish the program in either 3 or 4 semesters by taking 4 core module, 6 elective module courses and one project course. At least one elective course from each course pool (Mechanical Systems, Electronics/Control and Industrial Informatics Course pools) has to be taken.

All graduate students are encouraged to participate in funded research projects where they are supported as full-time research assistants. Additionally, 21 graduate students are employed as full-time teaching and research assistants (Arastirma Gorevlisi kadrosu). In particular, all PhD candidates are either supported as research assistants in research projects, or employed as full-time teaching and research assistants (Arastirma Gorevlisi kadrosu). Research projects are funded by TUBITAK, TUBA, BAP, EU Framework Programmes and industry. The applicants are advised to contact faculty and/or visit the research labs' web pages to check the currently active projects and open positions.

 

In addition to the funding opportunities provided by the department, applicants can also consider applying for TUBITAK scholarships. These scholarships provide monthly stipends to support students throughout their graduate studies. Turkish applicants can apply to the TUBITAK 2211 program, whereas international students are eligible for the TUBITAK 2215 program.
