Our department offers Master of Science (MSc) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) programs. Mechanical engineering deals with the design, analysis and manufacturing of all kinds of mechanical systems by applying the principles of mathematics, physics and materials science. It is one of the oldest branch of engineering with broad applications. In the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University, research is conducted in the following areas:
The objective of the graduate program is to train individuals aiming to specialize in these fields by:
The program accepts applications from candidates who have graduated from the following majors:
Mechanical Engineering
Aerospace Engineering
Energy Systems Engineering
Mechatronics Engineering
Manufacturing Engineering
Automotive Engineering
Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering
The medium of instruction in both programs is English. All students who wish to carry out their graduate studies at the department have to certify their proficiency in English.
Master (MSc) program duration is 2 years and a student can complete it within a maximum period of 3 years. The first year is considered for course taking and the last year is for Thesis studies. If it is needed, one more year can be added to the duration.
Doctorate (PhD) program duration is 4 years and a student can complete it within a maximum period of 6 years. One year is considered for course taking and three years for Dissertation studies. If it is needed, extra two years can be added to the duration. O
Official admission requirements are announced before each admission period on the website of the Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences. The requirements listed here are for information only:
Candidates should follow the call for graduate programs to be announced on aybu.edu.tr/fbe to apply to the programs. Students are accepted once a year, generally for Fall Term, rarely twice a year for both Fall and Spring Term. Candidates can see the announcement of 2024-2025 Fall Term by clicking here.
Foreign candidates should send their CV, transcript, diploma, English language certificate, and application letter to fenbilimleri@ybu.edu.tr
Students of both programs (Master's and Doctorate) must enroll in 7 courses in addition to the FBE900 Research Methods and Ethics course to graduate. Doctoral students who have taken this course during their master's studies should apply to the head of the department with a petition to be exempted from the course.
It is mandatory to take the Advanced Engineering Mathematics course or a course with similar content. Doctoral students who have taken this course during their master's studies (the course must be taken and passed less than five years ago as of the end of the semester in which the relevant course has been taken) do not have to take this course. Doctoral students who are exempt from this course must take 7 courses. A course taken in the Master's or a course with a similar content cannot be taken again in the Ph.D.
Both Doctorate and Master's programs students should also take the Seminar course during the last semester they are completing their coursework. Master’s program students must submit their Master's Thesis Proposal to the institute during the following semester until the period which will be announced by the Institute. For both Doctorate and Master's programs students must take the SPECIAL STUDIES course each semester. They should also take the MASTER's THESIS course or the PhD DISSERTATION course until graduation after they have started their thesis work. Students should decide together their supervisors on the courses which will be taken and do their enrollment by logging in at obs.aybu.edu.tr within the periods specified in the academic calendar.
