Biology

Hello, I'm Şevval ALTAY. I am a third year student at Pamukkale University, Department of Biology. Our department is located in the Faculty of Science in Pamukkale University's Kınıklı Campus. Our undergraduate education is four years, the preparatory class is optional. If you enter the department in the first 3 places, YÖK will give you 1000 TL per month. There are both theoratical and applied courses such as; General Biology, Microbiology, Animal Anatomy, Plant Anatomy, and Evolution. Our laboratories are located in blocks B, C, and D. They consist of student labs and research labs. We have 12 professors in our department, and each of them has separate research laboratories. We have 4 PhD Lecturers and 3 Research Assistants. You can work as a Biologist in public or private sector, hospitals. Also as a Research Biologist in research laboratories in the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization and TÜBİTAK, also in various R&D Projects. Also by taking the pedagogical formation program, you can be a biology teacher. The reason why I chose this department is my interest in micro and macro living things. Since this department is the basic biology department, I chose here because I would learn everything in detail, thus it would teach more to me. Another reason is Pamukkale University's expert staff and education quality. I also chose this university because of the diversity of the clubs, sports complexes, and its campus. At our university there are Erasmus, Farabi, and Mevlana programs in Turkey and abroad. All these reasons led me to Pamukkale University. Opportunities I benefited the most while studying in my department are expert academic staff, laboratories, and libraries. My goal after graduation is to pursue an academic career by doing master's and phd. My advice to candidates who will choose Pamukkale University Biology Department is to research, question, and examine. The fact that Pamukkale University has a large number of student clubs contributes to the formation of new friendships and being involved in many social activities. That's why you should choose Pamukkale University. I wish good luck to all my friends who will take the university exam.
