It is compulsory to have at least 70% attendance for each graduate course in a semester . Achievement is measured through in term assessment (assignments, midterm exams) and with final exams. Examinations are applied in various ways as written, oral, or both written and oral, and/or practictise. At least one midterm exam is to be given for each course. Detailed explanations regarding the assessment and evaluation in the courses take place in the course information page. Examinations are assessed through grades out of 100. Passing grade is calculated by adding the 40% of the average of midterm exam grades to the 60% of the Final or make up exam. In Ph.D. Programs passing grade is at least 75 out of 100 and 2,5 BC out of 4. Success in elective courses, special field courses, seminars and dissertation studies is indicated by using G (passed) or B (succeeded). While calculating average passing grade the courses defined as passed (G), succeeded (B) exempted (M) are not taken in to consideration. Detailed explanations regarding the equivalents of passing grades out of 100 in full mark 4 points system and letter representation system are given in the regulation announced in the website (www.fbe.atauni.edu.tr ) of Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences.

To be admitted to the Ph.D. program, candidates are required:

To have either a 5-year undergraduate diploma or Master’s Diploma in the field determined by the executive board of Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences for admition.

To have received at least 55 science points in the ALES (Academic graduate education examination).

To have obtained at least 55 points from UDS or KPDS or the equivalent of this point from an equivalent foreign language exam (TOEFL, etc)

To have obtained at least 65 points upon summing up 60% of the ALES science points and 20% of under graduate AGNO (Undergraduate Nominal Grade Average), and 20% of graduate AGNO (graduate Nominal Grade Average).

To take place among the candidates with the highest grades who are listed beginning from the highest points, considering the number of the students to be admitted.

To have completed successfully the science preparatory class in 1 year if admitted with the requirement to attendant science preparatory class.

Students from other nationalities are required to have knowledge of Turkish language at B2 level (or 70 out of 100 achievement) according to ELP (European Language Portfolio).

Students from the Chemistry Departments in other universities are also admitted providing that they meet the requirements of interuniversities students transfer.

Requirements for application and admission to the program are announced in the website (www.fbe.atauni.edu.tr) of Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences before each academic term has began.
