ADMISSION AND REGISTRATION CONDITIONS
They must have a bachelor's degree in the relevant field or in the fields determined by the administrative board of the institute with the recommendation of the department/art major. They must have the ALES standard score to be determined by the Senate provided that it is not less than 55 standard points from the score type of the program applied for ALES, a central exam conducted by OSYM or they must receive an equivalent score from an exam regarded as equivalent to ALES by the Interuniversity Board.
A valid ALES certificate for foreign students who graduated from an undergraduate or graduate program in Turkey, a Turkish proficiency certificate from TÖMER and an equivalence certificate of a diploma accepted by YÖK for foreign students who graduated from an undergraduate or graduate program abroad are required. Those who do not have a Turkish proficiency certificate from TÖMER study at ERU TÖMER after the admission and registration processes and can start their master's degree after receiving a Turkish proficiency certificate.
Applications are evaluated by the administrative board of the institute according to the following principles and successful candidates are determined by considering the announced quotas.
a) In applications, all grades of the candidate to be evaluated are turned into an evaluation out of 100. In the calculation of transformation from a different system to a 100 point grading system in those whose graduation averages are in 100 point system along with the ones in a different system (4.00, 3.00 grading systems etc.) and only those in the different grading system (4.00, 3.00 grading systems etc.), 100 point grading system transformation table of the Higher Education Council is taken as a basis.
b) In the evaluation of student admission to master's programs with thesis, 50% of the ALES score, 30% of the undergraduate grade point average and 20% of the foreign language score are summed up if there is no interview in the entrance exam. In the departments where the interview exam is made, 50% of the ALES score, 15% of the undergraduate grade point average, 15% of the foreign language score and 20% of the interview exam are summed up. The total score must be at least 50. The foreign language score of the candidates who do not have a foreign language certificate from YDS or an exam accepted by the Interuniversity Board is calculated as zero. Candidates above 50 points are placed in the relevant programs according to the quotas announced in an order from the highest score. In case of the equality of points, the candidate with a high ALES score is preferred. The candidate who does not take the interview exam is considered unsuccessful.

ACCESSING TO HIGHER DEGREE PROGRAMS
Candidates who have successfully completed their master's degree education can study in doctoral programs provided that they get sufficient grades from the ALES exam and have enough English language knowledge.
MEASUREMENT AND EVALUATION
In order to be considered successful in a course in the Civil Engineering Master's Degree Program, students enrolled in the program must get at least a CC grade.
GRADUATION CONDITIONS
A student enrolled in the program is required to take a minimum of 60 ECTS and maximum 180 ECTS. Courses equivalent to 60 ECTS, including at least 7 courses (one of which is about research with scientific methods, and publication ethics) and a seminar course and must be successful in these courses. Provided that a maximum of two courses to be taken by the student in the Master's Degree Program have not been taken during the undergraduate education, they can also be selected from the undergraduate or master’s degree courses offered in other higher education institutions.
Students who successfully defend their thesis in a field related to their subject in front of a selected jury are awarded a master's degree in CIVIL ENGINEERING.
EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
Civil engineers can work as a designer (project engineer) or site engineer (field engineer or supervisor) in public institutions and private organizations. Both as a designer and a field engineer, they can work in available institutions and organizations in such wide range of fields as housing, business centers, high-rise buildings, industrial structures, tower and transmission lines and facilities, highways and railway lines, water structures, dams, coastal and port structures, retaining structures, ground improvements, etc. or they can become a company owner by establishing their own company if they want.
