Mathematics Graduate ProgramThe Graduate Program of the Department of Mathematics at Bilkent University is among the leading mathematics research programs in Turkey. The normal duration of the program is two years for the M.S. degree and four years for the Ph.D. degree. The M.S. and Ph.D. programs produce leading research mathematicians. Throughout both programs, there is a strong emphasis on supervised research towards a thesis. To provide a solid foundation for subsequent professional work, each program includes 7 courses based on lectures to small elite classes. Curriculum International students: The language of education is exclusively English. For life on campus, and to some extent beyond, English is entirely adequate. Introductory classes in Turkish are available but optional. Scholarships: Financial support is available for qualified full-time students for the normal duration of their studies, subject to satisfactory standing. The support typically includes tuition waiver, a monthly stipend, accommodation discount, private health insurance, and office space. The stipend amounts currently range from 34,000 TL for M.S. students to 52,000 TL plus meal card for Ph.D. students having passed the qualifying exam. Location: Bilkent University is located on a pleasant campus outside of Ankara, the capital of Turkey. Ankara, being in the center of Anatolia, is well-situated for coach visits to many locations of historic or cultural interest: http://www.ankara.com, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ankara, http://wikitravel.org/en/Ankara, Application Process: First check the application requirements here: http://mfbe.bilkent.edu.tr. When you are ready, you can submit your application online: Online Application Form Submitted documentation must include: statement of purpose, university transcript, at least two recommendation letters, GRE or ALES scores, proof of English proficiency. Turkish nationals must supply ALES scores; international applicants are to supply GRE scores. Application Deadline: 04 November 2024 – (Monday - 23:59)
Applicants passing the first round of evaluations will be sent an invitation for the interviews. We regret that we cannot respond to individual queries due to the large number of applications. Visas for International Students: The duration of the visa application process varies from country to country. In some cases, the process may take up to 8 weeks, so accepted students are advised to apply for visa as early as possible.
