1. General Information

Physics department launched its education program at Anadolu University in 1982. Osmangazi University is established by law in 1993, participated in conformity with the law.

There are 5 professors, 6 associate professors, 12 assistant professors, in total, 23 faculty members, 9 research assistants and 3 administrative personnel are employed in the department. The faculty members continue to work in the field of general physics, atomic and molecular physics, nuclear physics, solid state physics and high energy and plasma physics.  In the physics department, there are 4 student laboratories and 16 research laboratories. 

Graduate students (MSc and PhD) use their research labs to conduct studies related to their dissertations. In addition to teach introductory physics lectures (Physics I, Physics II) and physics related classes at other departments of our university, the faculty members are involved in national and international projects, and they are conducted Master's and Doctoral programs.

Students with sufficient grade point average are eligible to apply for “double major” and “second major” programs at the associated departments. In addition, our students can take courses from national and foreign universities via “Erasmus”, “Farabi” and “Mevlana” student/faculty exchange programs during their education. Our department encourages undergraduate students to participate in the summer internship program in the pre-arranged institutions.

Our alumni are employed in government institutions and private sector as faculty member, researcher, research and development specialist, teacher in state and private schools (if they complete a year and half long graduate collage program). In addition, our alumni work as computer programmer and occupational health and safety specialist (after completion of a certificate program). Recently, they are also employed as instructors in school of health services programs such as opticianry, medical imaging technologies.     

 

2. Qualification

The students who have accomplished the program will have a Bachelor’s degree in physics field.

 

3. Level of Qualification

Undergraduate.

 

4. Admission and Enrollment Terms

General admission and enrollment terms are eligible for Turkish and foreign students.

 

5. Recognition of Former Education

In Turkish Higher Education Institutions, recognition of former formal education, vertical and lateral transfer and transfer between departments in the university is fulfilled within the scope of YÖK (Yüksek Öğretim Kurulu) regulations, namely “The transfer between associate degrees and undergraduate degrees, double major, lateral branch and inter-institutional credit transfer regulations in the Higher Education Institutions”. At the beginning of the each period, exemption exams for language and computer sciences courses can be taken. Students who can pass the exam will be exempted from the mentioned courses.

 

6. Competency Requirements and Terms

The students have to pass all of the courses in the program and must not have any FF, DZ or YZ grades. In this program, the students should have minimum 240 ECTS and grade points average (GPA) have to be minimum 2 over 4.

 

7. Objectives of the Program

To raise physicists who have the ethics of basic sciences and having understood the importance of country’s natural sources.  These also will have high caliber knowledge of physics and apply them into physics and technological fields by interrogating the related problems.

Industry-University cooperation will be the first item in order to solve industrial problems related to basic sciences. To make national and international research works in order to achieve these goals.

To be able to apply all the processes of physical research both theoretical and experimentally in the daily life of citizens.

To train physicist who have the sense of ethics and also know the importance of country’s natural sources and also being team workable and responsible.
