The Graduate Thesis and Course Performance Awards, aiming to reward the outstanding achievements of more than 7,000 graduate students, and to support their academic motivation at our five institutes actively continuing their education life within our university, were presented.
The Thesis Awards, which are given based on the performance of our students in the 2018-2019 academic year, aim to encourage our graduate students to carry out qualified studies that will contribute to science culture, theory and application fields within the scope of their thesis studies, and thus increase the quality and strength of research in our country under the leadership of METU. Course Performance Awards aim to encourage our students to complete their education period with outstanding success and to increase their success level in the classes.
