Information on the national higher education system • The basic structure of the Turkish National Education system consists of mainly four steps as pre-school education, primary education, secondary education and higher education.
Higher education is defined as all post-secondary programs with a duration of at least two years. The system consists of universities (state and foundation) and non-university institutions of higher education (police and military academies and colleges)..
Each university consists of faculties and four-year schools, offering bachelor's level programs, the latter with a vocational emphasis, and two year vocational schools offering pre-bachelor's (associate's) level programs of a strictly vocational nature.
Graduate-level programs consists of master's and doctoral programs, coordinated by graduate schools. • Access to doctoral programs requires a master degree. Doctoral programs have a duration of minimum four years which consists of completion of courses, passing doctoral qualifying examination, and preparing and defending a doctoral thesis.
Undergraduate education in aquaculture and fisheries • In Turkey, aquaculture education run within different structures based on universities: • 1.Faculties of Fisheries and Aquaculture • 2.Departments of Fisheries and Aquaculture in the Faculties of Agriculture • 3.Faculties of Marine Sciences
At Ankara University and other three public universities undergraduate courses are provided within the general higher education of agricultural engineers (4 years in length at universities); at the end of education students get a diploma with a certification in it about their specialization.
The Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture in Agricultural Faculty of Ankara University offers a degree in Agricultural Engineering with aquaculture specialisation, and follows a partly different organisational structure from the other Faculties of Fisheries & Aquaculture. • In Faculties of Fisheries and Aquaculture at various universities ‘aquacultural engineer’ title is given.
Fisheries and Aquaculture courses both in Departmental structure and faculty organisation have a general framework, with some specialised elements: Fisheries Biology, Ichthyology, Fish Diseases, Water Quality as well as Water Pollution, Aquaculture of Freshwater fishes, Marine fishes and Shellfish, Fishing Technology, Fisheries Management, Limnologia as well as oceanographia.
