PhD students are required to take 10 courses including MM 799 Seminar and MM
797 Preparation for the PhD Qualifying Exam courses having a total of minimum 120
ECTS credits.
The program has two compulsory (must) courses (except MM 799 and MM 797):
MM 701 Applied Numerical Analysis
MM 703 Analytical Methods in Engineering II
PhD program compulsory courses (MM 701 and MM 703) must be taken from the
department. These courses or their equivalents cannot be taken from another department
at Hacettepe University or another university.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Graduate courses are organized and taught in pairs; every MS course (6XX) has a
PhD level (7XX) equivalent (except MM 642, MM 662, MM 645 and MM 697) with
the same content, instructor, date and place given. MS students are required to
register for 6XX and PhD students are required to register for 7XX courses due to
the difference in the ECTS credits of the courses.
Paired (equivalent) MS and PhD courses are:
MM 602/MM 701
MM 604/MM 703
MM 606/MM 707
MM 609/MM 708
MM 612/MM 711

MM 692/MM 793
MM 695/MM 794
You are not allowed to take the PhD level equivalent of a MS course if
you have taken the course in your MS program (the only exceptions are
the MS courses MM 602 and MM 604)
The student must receive a minimum of 60/100 to advance to the 2nd part of the
qualification process. The general exams are held twice a year. If a student fails the
general exam twice, he/she will be required to take 3 undergraduate courses and pass all
of them with a minimum grade of B3 before he/she is allowed to take the exam for the third
time.
In the 2nd part, a formal qualification exam committee is formed and the committee
administers a written and an oral exam according to the regulations of Graduate School of
Science and Engineering (Fen Bilimleri Enstits).
Journal Paper Requirement for Thesis Defense
According to the departmental regulation, each doctoral candidate must have a paper
(from his/her thesis work) published or accepted with minor revision by a SCI-Expanded
journal before defending his/her thesis.
