Graduates who successfully complete all the requirements of the program are entitled to receive a master's degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering.

The admission to the Master's Program in Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Istanbul Sabahattin Zaim University is conducted in accordance with the provisions of the university's Graduate Education Regulations. 

Admission Requirements for the Program: 

• Graduation from one of the following departments: Electrical Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Energy Systems Engineering, Control Engineering, Control and Automation Engineering, Telecommunication (Communication) Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or Computer Engineering.  

• Candidates applying outside the specified fields must complete a Scientific Preparation Program.  

• A minimum score of 55 in the quantitative section of ALES (not required for international applicants), 

• A minimum undergraduate CGPA of 2.50 out of 4.00. 

• A minimum score of 70 on the Foreign Language Proficiency Exam (YDS) or the Higher Education Institution Foreign Language Exam (YÖKDİL) or an equivalent score in a foreign language proficiency exam recognized by ÖSYM (as per Article 6, Chapter 2 of the Higher Education Council Regulations), or a minimum score of 80 on the IZU Foreign Language Exam (YDY). 

• These scores may be revised upon the department chair's recommendation and approval by the institute board. 

• Applicants who completed their undergraduate education in the relevant foreign language are considered to have fulfilled the language requirement. 

Evaluation Criteria for Thesis Master's Program Applications: 

For admission to thesis-based master's programs, applicants are evaluated based on their ALES scores, undergraduate GPA, and results of the scientific evaluation exam. The overall evaluation score is calculated as follows: 

• 40% of the ALES score,  

• 25% of the undergraduate GPA,  

• 35% of the scientific evaluation exam score.  

Applicants are ranked based on their overall evaluation scores. In case of a tie, the applicant with the higher ALES score is admitted. The institute board determines the specific criteria for application and evaluation based on the department chair's recommendation. However, the institute may admit students to thesis-based master's programs solely based on their ALES scores. 

Exemption may be granted based on the decision of the exemption commission for courses taken at another university at the graduate level.

The employment area of ​​graduates is quite wide. They can be employed in many areas such as defense industry, wired and wireless communications, robotics and automation, modeling and prototype development, biomedical, high energy systems, power electronics, electromechanics, antenna and microwave, remote sensing, hardware designs and applications, satellite and optical communications, computer networks and electronic circuits, smart systems, and system designs.

Candidates who graduate from the Electrical-Electronic Engineering Master's Program with a Thesis have the opportunity for further education in related fields of Electrical-Electronic Engineering at all universities.
