The Child Development Thesis-Based Master's Program is a graduate program that scientifically examines the developmental processes of children from birth to adolescence and evaluates the individual, familial, and environmental factors that influence these processes. The program aims to train professionals with in-depth knowledge of child development, research skills, developed scientific thinking skills, and commitment to ethical values.
As part of the program, students receive theoretical and practical training in areas such as developmental psychology, neurodevelopment, early intervention, family education, children with special needs, play and creative activities, and developmental assessment methods. They also develop their research skills through scientific research methods and statistics courses, and contribute to the field through their thesis work.
The Child Development Thesis-Based Master's Program is open to university graduates in fields such as child development, psychology, preschool teaching, guidance, and psychological counseling. Graduates can work as specialists, researchers, or educators in academic institutions, public and private sector organizations, child development centers, early childhood education institutions, and research and consulting centers.
This program boasts a strong academic foundation that aims to contribute to the healthy development of children through the production of scientific knowledge, focusing on child and family well-being.
Our Child Development Thesis Master's Program has begun accepting students as of the 2023-2024 Spring semester and is conducting active learning processes.
