History : Manisa Celal Bayar University, Institute of Natural and Applied Science, Mathematics Division has been founded in 1993-1994 and has started graduate study in 1998-1999.
Qualification Awarded : Master of Science Degree in Mathematics
Level of Qualification (Short Cycle , First Cycle , Second Cycle, Third Cycle) : Second Cycle
Specific Admission Requirements : Candidates must have a Bachelor of Science’s diploma and a score of not less than 55 points in the applied program from the Academic Postgraduate Education Entrance Exam (ALES) to apply to the Master of Science program.

Candidates must have at least 40 points from the Public Personnel Foreign Language Proficiency Examination (YDS) or the exam centrally organized by the Manisa Celal Bayar University Foreign Language Department or an equivalent scores from any of the foreign language exam accepted by the University Council. The above requirement is not required for the candidates who apply to the programs for which preparatory class is obligated or who succeed in the preparatory class in the undergraduate education.

Achievement score in Master of Science programs is at less 65 points. Achievement score is the sum of the 50% of the ALES exam, 30% of the Bachelor of Science diploma score and 20% of interview. The score of candidates who do not enter interview are not calculated.

Candidates who have a point of 65 or higher achievement score are listed according to their scores starting from the highest in Master of Science programs. Candidates in the quote receive a definitive registration right in the applied program.

Specific Arrangements For Recognition Of Prior Learning (Formal, Non-Formal and Informal) : Students enrolled to the Master of Science program may request exemption from the courses they have achieved in the equivalent programs at any of the other higher education institution. For the exemption from the courses they have achieved prior, they should submit their transcript and course contents to the relevant department within the next week of enrollment week.

The rules for recognition of formal prior learning are well defined. A student who is currently enrolled in a Master's Degree programme in the same discipline at another institution and has successfully completed at least one semester, upon submitting all required documents before the deadline, may transfer to the Master's Programme at Celal Bayar University upon the recommendation of the department administration and with the approval of the Administrative Committee of the Graduate School. The decision taken will also include eligibility for exemption from some course requirements of the graduate program. Students who transfer from another university must be successful in the Celal Bayar University English Proficiency Exam or in an equivalent English examination. Recognition of prior non-formal and in-formal learning is at the beginning stage in Turkish Higher Education Institutions. Celal Bayar University is not an exception to this.
Qualification Requirements and Regulations : To complete the Master of Science programs successfully, students must join at less eight courses in condition totally not less than twenty four national credits and a seminar and successful at preparation of thesis study; and complete at less 60 ECTS credits in an education-training year, totally 120 ECTS credits including seminar course and thesis study in a maximum six semesters.
Profile of The Programme : Mathematics Division includes five disciplines which are Analysis and the Theory of Functions, Algebra and Number Thoery, Geometry, Topology, and Applied Mathematics.

The main purpose of Mathematics Division is to raise well supported mathematicians who gained the ability to think mathematically and are able to use that skill to solve encountered daily life problems, who scrutinize, question, who are able to express what they think well, who follow the current developments in their areas, who are enterprising, who are self-confident, who produce information and are able to transfer that information to others.
Occupational Profiles of Graduates With Examples : The mathematics graduates are employed in public and private sector and many areas related to their profession. Students who succeed in the exams of ALES and YDS can apply for Research assistant or Lecturer in Universities.
Access to Further Studies : Graduates who successfully completed the Master's Degree may apply to doctorate (third cycle) programmes in the same or in related disciplines.
Examination Regulations, Assessment and Grading : Exams are composed of mid-term, final and make-up exams. Other than exams, quiz, project, homework and other activates that the lecturer may consider appropriate can be applied. The number of these activities and the contribution to the achievement score are stated in the course plan by the lecturer. All exams can be applied as written, oral or both written and oral or practical. All exams are evaluated over 100 pointe and converted into letter grades by the system. Achievement score is calculated by taking not less than 50% of final exam and the percentage determined by lecturer of mid-term exam and other activates. Letter point limits are determined by the lecturer. The student must take at least a CC letter grade to be consider a successful for a course.
Graduation Requirements : To complete the Master of Science programs successfully, students must join at less eight courses in condition totally not less than twenty four national credits and a seminar and successful at preparation of thesis study; and complete at less 60 ECTS credits in an education-training year, totally 120 ECTS credits including seminar course and thesis study in a maximum six semesters.
