MS in Biosecurity

The interdisciplinary Biosecurity program is a model of research and training, which focuses on critical issues in health, science, and security intersections. Courses include the scientific foundations of biosecurity, the technologies used in this field and possibilities for future use, practices to prevent and illuminate bioterrorist attacks, national and international regulations, as well as providing information and skills to assess the risks posed by bio attacks on public health and safety, creating strategies that will prepare large masses against biological attacks and deal with stress and fear.

Students accepted into the program can be given scientific preparatory courses at the undergraduate and/or graduate level if necessary, depending on the undergraduate areas. Apart from scientific preparation, students are required to take courses that correspond to at least 60 ECTS credits during the 2 consecutive semesters of the course. Then 2 semesters are divided into 60 ECTS worth of thesis. The duration of the master's program with thesis is four semesters for each semester, regardless of whether they are registered or not, starting from the semester in which the courses related to the program they are enrolled in, excluding the time spent in scientific preparation, and the program is completed in six semesters at most. In non-thesis programs, it is at least two semesters, at most three semesters. The language of learning is Turkish.
