Learning Outcomes of the Course : Knows ethical guidelines to follow in a research.
Solves a specific problem in a scientifically sound, thorough and precise manner in the course of a given period of time.
Knows how to deal with the data sets or information gathered to reach a solution for the problem being tackled and how to present the thoughts and findings in a convincing way.

Mode of Delivery : Face-to-Face

Prerequisites and Co-Prerequisites : None

Recommended Optional Programme Components : None

Aim(s) of Course : To enable students with the ability to conduct a research independently in a selected area; to teach how to perform a scientific, ethic, accurate and detailed study for the solution of specific problems in a definite time; to teach how to discuss and publish the findings in a convincing manner.

Course Contents : The Master Thesis consists of a report based on an independent piece of research to be completed following the completion of the thought courses. The thesis is based on a pre-defined set of problems and lead by a supervisor in the same academic unit. The supervision ensures that the student gets advice regarding literature, approaches towards solving the problems being dealt with, the acquisition and treatment of data, and ethical guidelines in research. The final exam consists of the thesis and an oral exam.

Language of Instruction : Turkish

Work Place : Classroom at the Department of Geological Engineering
