Phd Qualifying Exam

Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering Doctorate Qualifying Exam Application Principles

 

This document determines the method of implementation of the proficiency exam specified in Article 43 of the Isparta University of Applied Sciences Graduate Education Education Regulation.

The proficiency exam is carried out to measure whether the student has scientific thinking skills, the level of assimilation of scientific methods, basic topics and concepts for conducting independent research, and in-depth knowledge of the subjects related to the department in which he/she is doing his/her doctorate.

The qualification exam is held in two parts: written and oral. The student who is successful in the written exam is taken to the oral exam. The student who fails any of the written or oral exams is deemed to have failed the proficiency exam.

* Written Examination

In the doctoral qualification written exam, a total of 5 questions are asked, 1 from each of the courses in the 1st group given below and 1 from the 2nd group courses upon the proposal of the advisor faculty member. The student must answer 4 out of 5 questions. All questions are worth 25 points, and if a score of 75 or more is obtained, the student is considered successful in the doctoral qualification written exam.
