| FOUNDATION & HISTORY |
 |
| Mining Engineering Department, which started education-teaching activities in 1991, has started to give Master of Science Degree within the Institute of Science and Technology since 2001. The department has been continuing its Master of Science Degree facilities (education-teaching and R&D) under the Institute of Science and Technology with a strong and dynamic academic staff. | | | QUALIFICATION AWARDED | | | The students who have graduated from the Department of Mining Engineering are awarded with a Master of Science degree in the field of Mining. | | | LEVEL of QUALIFICATION: | | Qualifications Frameworks in the European Higher Education Area (QF-EHEA), Level 2
European Qualifications Framework for Lifelong Learning (EQF-LLL), Level 7 | | | MODE of STUDY | | | Full Time | | | ADMISSION & REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS | | 1 - To have Bachelor's Degree from the acceptable fields,
2 - To have sufficient score organized by Measurement, Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM),
3 - To have sufficient language skills | | | OBJECTIVE of THE PROGRAMME | | | Established in a region where engineering problems and metallic mineral deposits occur widely, Department of Mining Engineering carries out a curriculum to educate students to get a Master of Science degree in mining engineering who can take a role in mining and processing of natural resources, deal with rock mechanics and natural stone technology, recognise the natural events such as landslides, search for their causes and produce solutions for them. This enables the department to educate students who have the competency to work individually or in groups to identify mining problems, find solutions for them and apply them with an ethical responsibility. | | | RECOGNATION of PRIOR LEARNING | | The "Directive on Recognition of Prior Learning", Senate Decision No. 340 issued on July 28, 2023, has been accepted and entered into force regarding the students registered in all programs of Karadeniz Technical University to determine the principles to be followed for the recognition, crediting, and adaptation of the achievements acquired by the students at non-university institutions.
In this Directive,
- recognition of knowledge, skills, and competencies acquired with special interest through an exemption exam to be substituted as program courses,
- recognition of workplace and internship experiences through portfolio evaluation to be substituted as program courses,
- and the crediting of certificates received from accredited institutions regarding students' special interests are covered.
Announcements of courses included in the scope of recognition of prior learning, applications, and evaluation will be made on the dates specified in the academic calendar.
Recognition of prior learning will offer numerous benefits to our students and employers. For our students, increasing professional development and mobility in the labour market, preventing repetition of education and waste of time, providing early graduation, reducing the cost of learning, encouraging learning, and increasing the student's motivation and self-confidence can be counted among the benefits of recognition of prior learning. From the employers' perspectives, it will contribute to satisfying skill or competence deficiencies in the workplace, reducing the time employees spend outside the workplace for training purposes, and thus using resources more efficiently. | | | QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS and REGULATIONS | | To obtain a Master's degree in Mining Engineering the students are required to; a) have a total 21 credits courses in the curiculum with a grade of at least CC, b) have achieved a cumulative gross point average of at least 2.00 out of 4.00, c) prepare a seminar on the Master thesis and/or different subject, present and successfully defended with a passing grade, d) be successful by taking Scientific Research and Publication Ethics course, (e) prepare a master thesis, submitted and successfully defended with a passing grade.
KTU Graduate Education Regulations | | | EXAMINATION, ASSESSMENT and GRADING REGULATIONS | | | Students are required to take one mid-term, one semester work and one final exam for each course they have registered except for the Seminar and Master Thesis. The semester work can be conducted as project, homework or quizzes. The final grade of the courses consists of mid-term exam, semester work and final exam grades (30%, 20% and 50% respectively). The final grade of the courses is calculated over 100 points. The letter grade of courses over 100 points is as follows; AA (90-100), BA (85-89), BB (80-84), CB (75-79), CC (70-74), DC (60-69), DD (50-59), FD (40-49), FF (01-39). Additionally, the students who take the non-credit courses and have completed their thesis studies are given a grade (G) indicating the successfully pass. | | | GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS | | | The students who have successfully completed a minimum of 21 local credits from thought courses delivered within the graduate programme of the department and in related fields in addition to Seminar, and Scientific Research and Publication Ethics courses, achieved a cumulative gross point average of at least 2.00 out of 4.00 and prepared and successfully defended a thesis are given Master's Degree in MINING ENGINEERING. | | | OCCUPATIONAL PROFILES of GRADUATES | | | The gaduates who have a Master of Science degre in Mining Engineering, can work in public and private sectors. The main state companies where they can work include Turkish Coal, ETI Mine Works, the State Water Works, General Directorate of Motorways, Mineral Research and Exploration Institute, Turkish Petroleum and municipalities. Currently, majority of the graduates find jobs in private sector engaged mainly in surface and underground companies as well construction companies working on tunnels, roadworks and dams. There are also cases where the graduates setup up their own jobs mainly in mining supervision, mine planning, etc. | | | ACCESS to FURTHER STUDIES | | Qualifications Frameworks in the European Higher Education Area (QF-EHEA), Level 3
European Qualifications Framework for Lifelong Learning (EQF-LLL), Level 8 | | | CONTACT INFORMATION | | | | | DEPARTMENTAL FACILITIES : | | | Mining Engineering Department carries out education-teaching and R & D activities in a roughly 3000 square meters area that can be divided into 4 functional parts. These areas consist of staff offices, technologically equipped classrooms, seminar rooms, course study hall and Labs belonging to the each sub-divions, computer labs for both undergraduate and graduate students. Our department is among the most modern Mining Engineering departments in our country which meets the objectives of the Mining Engineering Program providing a Master of Science degree with these facilities offered to the students. |
