If you are successful in the proficiency exam, you must submit the Doctoral Thesis Proposal Report to the members of the thesis monitoring committee no later than six months before the thesis proposal exam date, which is prepared in accordance with the form and content specified on our access page.

At the end of this period, the decision to accept or reject is notified to the Institute by the head of the department.

Q2- What happens if I do not attend the thesis proposal defense meeting?

In a situation where the student fails to defend the thesis within an unspecified period without a valid excuse, the completion of the thesis will be rejected as a failure. In the following period, the thesis proposal must be defended again in the same thesis monitoring committee. The student whose thesis is rejected in this defense will be dismissed from the University.

The student whose thesis is rejected in this defense will be dismissed from the University.
