METU STRENGTHS
Human Resources World-class faculty with Ph.D. degrees earned from most
prominent universities– majority (70%) from institutions abroad METU undergraduate students received from the top 1% of
1,800,000 applicants taking the National University Entrance Examination every year
Highly qualified body of graduate students Dedicated and well-qualified administrative staff More than 110,000 committed alumni organized under 15 national
and 21 international alumni associations
METU STRENGTHS
A Research-Intensive University Ratio of graduate students to total: 31 % Largest share of research funding from The Scientific and Technological
Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK), Ministry of Science, Technology and Industry, EU Framework Program
Research revenues accounting for over 35 % of all METU expenditures annually (including all payroll costs)
Ph.D. Degrees granted per year: 260+ (2011)
METU STRENGTHS
METU STRENGTHS
An International University More than 1,800 international degree students at Ankara and Cyprus
campuses Approximately 1,000 international applications each year All engineering programs approved by the Accreditation Board for
Engineering and Technology (from 1992 on; latest 2010) Extensive experience of collaboration with universities abroad and high
degree of participation in Erasmus and Erasmus-Mundus programs (230+ Erasmus agreements)
METU STRENGTHS
An International University Premier university in Turkey in terms of EU Framework
Program (FP) participation 51 completed and 8 ongoing FP6 projects with a budget of 178
million € 1 completed and 31 ongoing FP7 projects with a budget of 106
million €
METU researchers carrying out a wide spectrum of international research projects (FP6, FP7, COST, EUREKA, MEDA, NATO, NSF, UN, World Bank, Jean Monnet)
METU STRENGTHS
An International University
Offering joint-degree programs in collaboration with universities abroad (4 undergraduate and 18 graduate degree programs with universities in US and Europe)
METU rated among the top world universities in several rankings (Times Higher Education, Leiden, Webometrics, URAP, and others)
METU ranked as the top university in Turkey in engineering and technology, basic sciences, and social sciences (HEAACT, QS, URAP, and others)
METU STRENGTHSAn Interdisciplinary and Diverse Campus
Departments representing different disciplines located in close proximity on the same campus
Availability of “minor” and “double-major” programs, and elective courses from other disciplines
Wide spectrum of interdisciplinary graduate programs and research centers
Students and academics from all parts of Turkey and more than 80 countries
Wealth of sports, cultural, arts events as well as scientific and professional meetings (METU rated as “Turkish University with Richest Social Life” by Newsweek-Turkey magazine)
Success in all three mission components
Create Knowledge – research and developmentDisseminate Knowledge – education programsApply Knowledge – work with industry and society
METU Revolving Fund largest in the country in industry revenues
Long tradition of playing an active role in acquiring critical technologies and creation of key institutions in Turkey
METU Technopark as first science park in Turkey
METU STRENGTHS
METU Technopark 260+ R&D companies; 900,000+ sq.ft. floor area; 200 acres land area 3,000 R&D workers; 3,500 employed in total Incubation and pre-incubation centers Extensive cooperative research between the faculty and industry Support for establishment of new science parks in Turkey and Eurasia
A “Most Trusted Institution”Community outreach and social responsibility have always been part of METU mission. Creation of 30 km2 of forest area on METU Ankara Campus, an initiative
that received the “The Aga Khan Award” (1995) Student Associations leading the nation in community outreach programs METU Science and Society Initiative – Science and Technology Museum Most extensive student scholarship program in the nation Public and private sector institutions seeking counseling and consultancy
from METU as the most reliable source of information and solution partner
Independent public opinion surveys rate METU among the most trusted/relied upon institutions in the society
METU STRENGTHS
An Innovative UniversityNumerous “first”s and innovations introduced to the Turkish higher education and research area. Several examples:
First Turkish university to use English as medium of instruction First Turkish university built on a campus First Turkish university to use department, semester, and credit system First Internet Service Provider (ISP) in Turkey (still serving as the DNS
authority) Pioneering Technopark in Turkey First Campus abroad (Northern Cyprus Campus) Establishment of first University Central Lab Creation of Faculty Development Program (FDP) network
METU STRENGTHS
Faculty Development Program (FDP)
at METU
WHAT ISFaculty Development Program (FDP)?
Initiated in 2001, Faculty Development Program (FDP) is an inter-university network, with METU training faculty members for other Turkish universities
Turkish universities of FDP network sending their research assistants to METU for the duration of Ph.D. studies
After graduation from METU Ph.D. programs, assistants return to their universities to work as faculty members
Turkish State Planning Office (recently Turkish Higher Education Council) provide funds to support the FDP
WHY?Faculty Development Program (FDP)
Shortage of qualified faculty members throughout the country
Sending students abroad for Ph.D. studies seen as a costly solution with increased risk of “brain drain”
METU graduate degrees accepted as world-class both in Turkey and abroad
Increased research and teaching collaboration among the network universities
HOW?Structure of FDP
FDP UNIVERSITY
Ph.D. candidates jointly selected by METU and FDP university SPO or HEC providing funds per student
SPO* or HEC**(*) SPO: State Planning Organization
(**) HEC: Higher Education Council
METUResearch Assistant
Funding
Young faculty member
HOW?Model of FDP
1. Research assistants of FDP universities nominated for METU graduate studies by their university (at some universities appointment as research assistant contingent on acceptance by METU)
2. Candidates jointly selected by METU and FDP university, subject to selection criteria of METU
3. FDP assistants become METU personnel «on a loan» by the FDP university during their Master’s and Doctoral studies
4. During the graduate study Candidate receives support for short-term overseas visits (maximum 3
months) as well as short-term domestic visits Candidate is required to spend long-term overseas visits (6-12 months)
as part of his/her research (at a top 500 university) Candidate receives an Annual Project Support, which can be used for
equipment, expendible supplies, and software in addition travel support.
5. After graduation, he/she is appointed as academic staff (assistant professor) in the FDP university
HOW?Model of FDP
Faculty Development Program (FDP)Turkey
64 FDP universities (2011) Nearly 500 Ph.D. candidates in progress (2012) 300 graduates to date (2012)
