Doctoral
			Program Outcomes
Course Code	Metu Credit	ECTS	To ably perform written and oral communication at European Language Portfolio level B2 since the language of education is English.	To be able to analyze complex problems from a constructively critical viewpoint in Chemical Oceanography, Marine-atmospheric chemistry, and climatological/anthropogenic mediated impacts of marine ecosystems, and therefore become leading scientist candidates within their research field.	To be able to produce an original thesis and at least one scientific publication in citation index journals thereby contributing to broadening the knowledge on Chemical Oceanography, Marine-atmospheric Chemistry, its interactions and nutrient cycling.	To be able to write original project proposals and conduct independent research which contribute to improvements in the field of Chemical Oceanography (chemistry/interactions, monitoring and modelling of climatological/anthropogenic mediated impacts of marine ecosystems) and Marine-atmospheric/Marine ecosystems related research.	To possess occupational and ethical responsibility regarding Chemical Oceanography and Marine Chemistry, riverine-atmospheric inputs, the effects of climatological/anthropogenic pressures on marine ecosystems.	To not be solely specialized in their own field of expertise but also to have a very proficient knowledge of the physical and biogeochemical characteristics of Turkish Seas.
