Head : Prof. Dr. Ersin YüCEL
DOCTORATE DEGREE (PH.D)
The Department was established in 1982 as a Biology Department under Faculty of Sciences and Literatures. In 1993, the department was reestablished with the same name under Faculty of Sciences after the segregation of Osmangazi University from Anadolu University. The department is located at the Yunusemre Campus and occupies a covered area of 4000 m2. Currently, 5 Professors, 2 Associate Professors, 11 Assistant Professors and 10 Assistants are working in the department. The decisions related with the department are made by the department council which is composed of all faculty members of the department. The department is governed by one chairman and two deputy chairmen. One of the deputy chairmen takes care of technical activities of the department while the other deputy chairman assists chairman in academic activities in the department.
The principal education philosophy of the Department has been to provide a sound professional training which has been consistent with the current scientific and technological state of the art background supported by practice through laboratory applications in biology discipline. The department is in collaboration with several international universities, research laboratories and the centers. The laboratories of the department are equipped with all the modern research equipment and facilities needed to do scientific research with both traditional and high technology methods.
Teaching is by lectures, laboratory and field classes. Regular attendance at all types of class is essential to enable students not only to learn about biology but also to develop their own skills in experimentation, thinking and communicating as well as their thoughts in writing and in discussion.
