Master of Science Program

The primary objective of the graduate program is to train specialists and/or theoreticians (required for research and teaching) in geodesy, capable of creative and original thinking and disseminating new ideas and concepts in related activities in Turkey. Graduate program leading to the Master of Science degrees in Geodesy normally involves two years of graduate work and includes,
a) A minimum number of 24 credits of course work to be completed in two successive semesters,
b) A thesis to be completed in the following two semesters.

The objectives of the courses offered are to provide the student with the necessary knowledge

and skills for such geodetic activities as

- treatment of the existing national geodetic control networks,

- geodetic applications gobal, regional and local geodynamic programs (especially in earthquake studies), and

- detection and monitoring of deformations of very large structures.
