Following the granting of the first undergraduate degrees at the Middle East Technical University in 1960, Master's Programs were started in all faculties except the Faculty of Administrative Sciences. The first master's degree was given by the Mechanical Engineering Department in 1961.
In 1964, upon the recommendation of the METU Board of Trustees, the University Council decided to start doctorate programs in some departments. In 1967, one student from the Physics and Chemistry Departments received the first doctorate from METU. Until 1981, all graduate programs were carried out by the relevant departments within the faculties, and 2965 students, 2839 from the Master's programs and 126 from the Doctorate programs, graduated from the graduate programs.
Our university has always been aware of the importance of postgraduate education in raising an educated workforce of superior quality. For this purpose, the University Council decided to establish the Graduate School and be managed by a dean to increase the graduate research activities of the departments, ensure more effective use of university resources, and design interdisciplinary programs that are unusually flexible, open to change and creativity, in which multidisciplinary studies will be carried out. Prof. Dr. Polat Gürkan has been appointed as the dean of the Graduate School.
With the implementation of the YÖK law in 1982, the Graduate School was transformed into the Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences, and Prof. Dr. Kemal Gürüz was appointed.
As a mission, the Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences, since its establishment in 1981, has adopted the purpose of making METU a research university in line with our university’s objectives and its departments to focus on research more actively. It has chosen as its goal to accelerate research resources increase the number of graduate students and without lowering the level of education. In line with these goals, it has increased the project
Go to a cinema in Turkey these days and "Vali" will likely be among the films showing. It centers on an honest governor from the provinces who becomes the pawn of inscrutable powers; people around him start dropping like flies. As the movie progresses, it becomes clear that the strings in the affair are being pulled from abroad -- from the West. The nationalist film's takeaway message is that the fatherland is in grave danger -- and someone must come to the rescue.
For many Turks, this frightening scenario mirrors the realities of their country. There are those who have always felt threatened and persecuted by their enemies. And there are others who consider themselves to be powerless bystanders in a political thriller that has washed over the country -- a thriller which is getting more difficult to understand by the day.
In reality, the drama is called "Ergenekon" and it has led -- this much, at least, is clear -- to one of the biggest and most explosive criminal trials in the country's history.
There are many suspects, many recriminations, and no one knows how it will end.
Roughly 150 politicians, ex-military officials, journalists and powerful demimonde characters stand accused. State prosecutors suspect the group of being behind plans to overthrow the government. As members of a secret network, called Ergenekon, named after a mythical valley celebrated by ancient Turks, the group allegedly planned to assassinate members of the country's political and cultural elite.
The idea, as prosecutors see it, was for Turkey to sink into fear and chaos before being rescued by an army coup that would reinstate peace and order. The armed forces, after all, see themselves as protectors of the nation they inherited from Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of modern-day Turkey. The Turkish military has staged coups three times in the country's recent past: in 1969, 1971 and 1980.
Trial of the Century
The trial, currently underway at a court outside of Ista In the context of internationalization and globalization of higher education, Kemal Gürüz’s book, Higher Education and International Student Mobility in the Global Knowledge Economy, explores contributions made by international students and scholars in higher education from a historical perspective. A native of Turkey, Gürüz studied and worked for a while at Harvard University and the State University of New York in the United States. He presents the international mobility of students and scholars with in-depth historical, cultural and socio-economical perspectives. Gürüz highlights global knowledge economy, institutional patterns of higher education, enrollments, governance, and recent changes in higher education of several countries in this book.

BACKGROUND: The Ergenekon investigation was first launched in 2007 and rapidly grew to become the largest, most expensive and most controversial case in modern Turkish history. It also spawned a barrage of other judicial investigations. Some were merged with the main Ergenekon case. Others have continued as separate cases. All of the cases are characterized by the same features which recur like motifs and have become almost as distinctive as fingerprints. They include an initial anonymous tipoff, usually in the form of a letter or email, containing detailed allegations against named individuals and information on where evidence of their offences can be found. The police then raid the premises indicated, recover the “evidence” in the form of digital documents and arrest the alleged culprits, who are charged in prodigiously long indictments redolent with paranoia and cognitive dissonance. Most allege that the accused were members of a terrorist organization and had been plotting to stage or instigate a military coup. No convincing evidence has yet been produced to support any of the claims. Each case has been accompanied by a vigorous media campaign led by outlets affiliated with the followers of the exiled Islamic preacher Fethullah Gülen. Similarly, all of the investigations have been handled by a small cabal of Gülen’s followers in the police and lower echelons of the judiciary, most of them based in Istanbul. Initially, the cases primarily targeted secular Turkish nationalists and members of the Turkish military. However, in recent years, the cases have been expanded to target an improbably disparate array of suspects with widely differing political views whose only common denominator is that they are critics, opponents or rivals of the Gülen Movement. Disturbingly, there are also numerous instances where “evidence” has clearly been fabricated and planted in premises associated with the accused. Sometimes it has even been planted in the wrong premises. For
