Location of Bilkent University
The Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics provides undergraduate and graduate courses in basic and applied areas of molecular biology and genetics. The undergraduate program offers B.S. degree in Molecular Biology and Genetics and the graduate program leads to M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Molecular Biology and Genetics.
The department is equipped with modern facilities for gene analysis, cell biology, protein chemistry, recombinant DNA technology and animal experiments. The education is research oriented. The undergraduate program concentrates initially on basic knowledge in life sciences and related fields, followed by a specialized training in molecular biology and genetics.
Research laboratories of the department are used for graduate student training and for the senior projects for undergraduate students. The main research activities of the department are on molecular genetics, molecular biology, molecular cell biology, molecular virology, molecular immunology, structure-function relationship of proteins and new biotechnologies.
Contents
The graduate programs are organized to provide an excellent training in basic and applied research areas of molecular biology and genetics.
The main research activities of the department are on molecular genetics (genetic predisposition to cancer, tumor suppressor genes, gene-disease associations), molecular biology (regulation of transcription, differential expression), molecular cell biology (cell cycle, apoptosis, signal transduction), molecular virology (hepatitis B and hepatitis C viruses), structure-function relationship of proteins and new biotechnologies (recombinant proteins, monoclonal antibodies).
In addition to at least 24 credit units of course work, the M.S. degree candidate must prepare and successfully defend a thesis. The normal duration of M.S. study is 4 semesters. However, this duration may be extended for up to two more semesters subject to the approval of the Graduate Institute.
IELTS
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test.
Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test.
Take testRequirements
Applicants are required to have a B.S. degree in molecular biology and genetics, biology, or a related field. Students with a B.S. degree in chemistry, chemical engineering, physics or a related field may also apply.
However, such students may be requested to take several undergraduate courses in molecular biology and genetics to acquire necessary background in the field. All applicants must be fluent in written and oral English.
Evaluation of applicants is based on ALES scores, past academic record, reference letters and their performance in the entrance examination given at Bilkent University at the end of Spring Semester each year. Applicants from foreign countries who cannot take ALES and entrance exam will be evaluated based on past academic record, reference letters and GRE scores.
