Program Overview
Graduate education in Computational Science and Engineering (CMSE) at Koç University is offered through an interdisciplinary program among the Departments of the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Engineering. In this program graduate students are trained on modern computational science techniques and their applications to solve scientific and engineering problems. New technological problems and associated research challenges heavily depend on computational modeling and problem solving. Because of the availability of powerful and inexpensive computers model-based computational experimentation is now a standard approach to analysis and design of complex systems where real experiments can be expensive or infeasible. Graduates of the CMSE Program should be capable of formulating solutions to computational problems through the use of multidisciplinary knowledge gained from a combination of classroom and laboratory experiences in basic sciences and engineering. Individuals with B.S. degrees in biology, chemistry, physics, and related engineering disciplines should apply for graduate study in the CMSE Program.
Qualification Awarded
Master of Science with Thesis in Computational Science and Engineering
Admission Requirements
- All the applicants should apply through ONLINE APPLICATION PROGRAM.
- Personal and Educational Background Information (CV)
- Recommendation Letters (2 for MSc, 3 for Ph.D) (3 for MS in Molecular Biology and Genetics)
- TOEFL Internet Based: Minimum Score 80 (Exams taken in Türkiye must be carried out at the State Universities.)TOEFL or YDS/e-YDS/YOKDIL Requirement (for those whose native language is not English)
- YDS/e-YDS/YOKDIL: 80
- ALES scores
- GRE scores (required from Foreign students; optional for Turkish students)
- Official transcripts from all the universities attended
- Statement of Purpose
Exchange Opportunities
The number of exchange program partners has increased rapidly over the years and the number of partner institutions has exceeded 100.
