Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics

Hello my name is Halil Uyguner and I am a third year student in the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics. Our department examines living things in molecular arrangements. It was established with the aim of gaining knowledge about the living things with which human beings share the same environment. The first grade curriculum covers basic science courses—namely Physics, Chemistry and Biology, to provide a scientific background. In subsequent years there are compulsory and elective courses in Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Basic Genetics and Biotechnology. In the third year, the compulsory internship program enables us to develop in many fields and to increase our technical skills. In addition, in fourth year courses such as the Seminar and the Graduation Project, we are able to work together with the academics at our university. Accordingly, our department shines a light on our futures. Our university laboratories are technologically well-equipped which allows us to form a scientific infrastructure. The information we obtain in theory is applied in our laboratories. Students who graduate from this department can develop themselves in R&D and in academic fields as well as working in the pharmaceutical sector, molecular identification units and IVF units. The main reason I choose this department is my interest in biology. Molecular biology and genetics is a science that constantly renews itself. I chose this department because I want to improve myself and I trust the technical capacity of Erzurum Technical University. After completing my undergraduate studies, I am thinking about progressing academically by completing my master's degree. Our university, which is most definitely sufficient technically, also has the library and living center where students can socialize. We wish every success to those candidates taking the university exam. We would be happy to see you at Erzurum Technical University.
