Our department was established on November 19, 2008, within the Kamil Özdağ Faculty of Science. The Mathematics Department admitted its first students in the 2011–2012 academic year and graduated its first class in the 2014–2015 academic year. In addition to undergraduate education, the department has offered master’s programs since 2016 and doctoral programs since 2018.

 

 

Learning Objectives of Our Program:

LO1: Acquiring the theoretical and practical knowledge necessary for academic work and developing the skills to apply this knowledge,

LO2: Developing skills in analytical thinking, critical analysis, interdisciplinary work, establishing connections between events, multifaceted thinking, and drawing conclusions,

LO3: To enhance the ability to use contemporary technological tools and equipment,

LO4: To develop the ability to communicate effectively in writing and orally, work in teams, and generate original ideas,

LO5: To instill ethical values and foster a sense of social responsibility.

 

Our department has a total of 15 academic staff members, including 5 Professors, 5 Associate Professors, 3 Assistant Professors, and 2 Research Assistants. Our department offers a 4-year undergraduate program, and the language of instruction is Turkish.

 

 

Our department consists of six sub-disciplines:

• Algebra and Number Theory

• Analysis and Function Theory

• Topology

• Foundations of Mathematics and Mathematical Logic

• Geometry

• Applied Mathematics

 

Students with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.00 out of 4.00 and who rank in the top 20% of their class in the Mathematics program are eligible to pursue a Double Major (in Computer Engineering or Electrical and Electronics Engineering) in addition to their Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics. Students with a minimum GPA of 2.5 and no missing or failed courses in the Mathematics program curriculum up to the semester of application have the opportunity to pursue a Minor (in Computer Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, or the Business Administration Department) alongside their Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics. The Mathematics Department also has bilateral agreements with many universities in Europe for student exchange under the Erasmus Program. The department also provides education to international students enrolled in both undergraduate and graduate programs.

 

As part of our efforts to enhance the quality of our program, we regularly conduct surveys for our students, including a new student survey, a student satisfaction survey, course evaluations, a student-advisor evaluation survey, a survey assessing program outcomes and educational objectives, an alumni satisfaction survey, and surveys targeting internal and external stakeholders; reports on the results of these surveys are prepared. Regarding exams and course grades, the relevant articles of the Karamanoğlu Mehmetbey University Associate and Bachelor’s Degree Education and Teaching Examination Regulations are applied.

 

Graduates of our department earn a Bachelor’s Degree in MATHEMATICS. To be admitted to the Mathematics Department, applicants must have graduated from high school and achieved the required score in the relevant category of the university entrance exams. To earn a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics, students must complete 240 ECTS credits and achieve a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.00 on a 4.0 scale (see Karamanoğlu Mehmetbey University Associate and Bachelor’s Degree Education, Teaching, and Examination Regulations). The assessment and evaluation methods applied for each course are defined in the “Course Syllabus” included in the course information package.

 

Students who successfully complete their undergraduate studies may continue their graduate education provided they achieve a sufficient score on the ALES exam and demonstrate proficiency in a foreign language. Our graduates have a wide range of career opportunities in both the public and private sectors; they can find employment in fields such as academic research, information systems, banking and finance, and the service sector. Additionally, graduates who have completed their teacher training and achieved a sufficient score on the KPSS Education Sciences exam may find employment as Mathematics Teachers within the Ministry of National Education (M.E.B.).
