The information and program qualifications related to the Geomatics Engineering Master of Science Program, under the Department of Geomatics Engineering of the Graduate School, are summarized below.
Information About The Program
Department of Geomatics Engineering has initiated the graduate level education programs (M.Sc. and Ph.D.) under the ITU Institute of Science and Technology in 1982.
In 1982-2002, the graduate program was called “Geodesy and Photogrammetry Engineering Program “.
In 2002-2003 academic year, as parallel to the technologic developments and extended requirements, this program has been restructured as “Geomatics Engineering Program”.
The objectives of the Geomatics Engineering Graduate Program base on providing advanced level education to the engineers of this century for improving their scientific knowledge and skills on the concepts, principles, and methods on their future specializations and professional careers in Geomatics discipline.

Measurement and Evaluation
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.
