The aim of the Biomedical Engineering Master’s Program is to cultivate highly skilled professionals in the fields of medical device technologies and biomedical applications, and to enable these experts to contribute to meeting the technological needs of the medical field. In this context, an interdisciplinary education and training is offered, encompassing subfields such as medical imaging, medical signal processing, biophotonics, bioMEMS, electronics, and bioelectromagnetics. Graduates of the program will have the opportunity to engage directly in medical device development, application, and research, as well as to work and contribute in public and private organizations established for these purposes.

The program’s learning environments include not only classroom lectures but also laboratory work, research projects conducted under the guidance of advisors, and the use of advanced software (e.g., ANSOFT, CST). In this way, theoretical knowledge is reinforced through simulations, allowing students to apply fundamental course concepts in a practical manner while developing skills aligned with industry standards.

Course adjustment and exemption procedures are carried out in accordance with the Exemption and Adjustment Procedures Regulation of Istanbul Technical University.

Evaluating Student Success
The student success is evaluated considering Articles 56, 57, 58, and 59 of the Istanbul Technical University Graduate Education and Training Regulation Senate Principles.

ARTICLE 56 - Before the enrollment for the courses begins, the faculty member who offers the course informs the Program Executive Committee about the types, number and contribution percentage to the final grade of the studies within the semester, as well as requirements for a right to take the semester final exam. These requirements shall be finalized by approval of the Program Executive Committee and approval of the chair of the department, who declares them to the student and informs the Graduate School.

ARTICLE 57 - A student may appeal the final grade of a course within one week following the announcement of the grades. Appeals must be submitted to the Graduate School in writing. The relevant faculty member shall re-evaluate the student's success status and submit the result to the Graduate School within one week. Appeals not submitted within the prescribed time frame shall not be considered by the Graduate School.

ARTICLE 58 - Courses in graduate programs shall be evaluated according to the following grading system.

Grade Description	Grade	Scale
Excellent	AA	4.00
