History : Manisa Celal Bayar University Faculty of Medicine Department of Histology and Embryology Department was established in 1996 and graduate education started in 1996-1997 academic year.
Qualification Awarded : Master’s Degree in Histology and Embryology is awarded to the graduates who successfully complete all courses in the curriculum
Level of Qualification (Short Cycle , First Cycle , Second Cycle, Third Cycle) : Second Cycle
Specific Admission Requirements : In order to be able to enroll in this program, candidates must take at least 55 points from the numerical score of the Academic Postgraduate Placement Examination (ALES) conducted centrally by the Measurement Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM). The principles for accepting foreign students are determined by the Senate.

In order to be successful in the foreign language, candidates must take at least 40 points from YDS or equivalent points from any of the foreign language exams validated by the Inter-University Council. Those who apply to the programs for which the preparatory class is required for graduate education and those who succeed in the preparatory class in undergraduate education are not required.

In the master's program entrance exam, the grade of achievement must be at least 65 points. The success grade is the sum of 50% of the relevant ALES score, 30% of the undergraduate achievement grade and 20% of the interview grade. Success scores of students who do not enter the interview are not calculated.

Candidates whose achievement score is 65 or higher in the master's program are ranked according to their scores starting from the highest. Candidates in the quota receive a definitive registration for the programs they apply to.

Specific Arrangements For Recognition Of Prior Learning (Formal, Non-Formal and Informal) : Students enrolled in the department may request to be exempted from the courses they have achieved in equivalent programs of higher education institutions that they have studied previously. To do this, they must submit the approved transcript and course content to the relevant unit within one week after the registration week with a petition.
Qualification Requirements and Regulations : To be successful in at least eight courses, one seminar course and thesis study with a total of twenty-four (24) credits, to complete at least 120 ECTS credits in a maximum of six semesters, including not less than 60 ECTS credits in a school year, including seminar courses and thesis studies.
Profile of The Programme : Teaching and research activities are carried out by three MD professors, and one MD associate professor. We have 110 scientific research manuscripts published in Science Scientific Indexes. 3 medical specialists, 27 graduate students have graduated. In our department we have six labarotories which include light microscopy-cutting, histochemistry-imunohistochemistry, cell culture, frozen section, molecular histology laboratories and cell-based research and treatment unit. Histological specimens which are used in students' practical lessons are prepared in the light microscopy labarotory. In histochemical, immunohistochemical and cell culture labarotories, scientific researches are carried out sponsored by TUBİTAK, DPT and Scientific Research Departmet of Celal Bayar University . In the cell-based research and treatment unit,scientific researches at molecular level are carried out. Manisa Celal Bayar University Faculty of Medicine Department of Histology and Embryology Department of Health Sciences Graduate School of Health aims to provide qualified education in the framework of the postgraduate education program and to provide the students with the knowledge, attitudes and attitudes appropriate to the requirements of the branch according to the universal science criteria, enabling them to use theoretical and practical knowledge equipped with skills, ethical values that give importance to the degree of masters, doctoral or specialist students can be able to raise. The graduate education curriculum is prepared in accordance with the training programs of the institutes and all students are aimed to be scientists who follow the current scientific developments, have the ability to reach new knowledge in the name of self-development, take part in research planning and do. In this direction, besides employing teaching staff at universities, it is aimed to educate graduate and specialist students who will work in assistant treatment laboratories (embryology, andrology) and stem cell and cellular treatment centers in the frame of legal rules.
Occupational Profiles of Graduates With Examples : Academic, light and electron microscopy tissue study laboratories, embryology laboratories
Access to Further Studies : Graduates who have successfully completed the master's program must obtain a valid score from the ALES exam and provide English language proficiency To apply to doctoral programs in their own fields or in multidisciplinary fields and are accepted if they are successful in the examination.
Examination Regulations, Assessment and Grading : Exams consist of midterm, final and makeup exams. Other than the exams quizzes, projects, homeworks and other activities that the instructor deems appropriate can be carried out. The number of these activities and the contribution to the course grades are stated in the course plan by the teaching staff. Examinations can be done in written, oral, written and oral or practical. All exams are evaluated over 100 points and converted to letter grades by the system. Success grade is calculated by taking the percentages of midterm exams and other activities determined by the instructor provided that it exceeds 50% of the contribution of the final exam. The student must receive at least a CC letter grade in a lesson to be successful.
Graduation Requirements : To be successful in the Master's program student must take a minimum of totally 24 credits in at least eight courses, one seminar course and thesis study And must complete at least 120 ECTS credits in maximum six semesters, including not less than 60 ECTS credits in a school year, including seminar courses and thesis work.

Facilities : Our department has 4 laboratories. In the light microscope laboratory there is an Olympus microscope used for research and education purposes. The practical courses of the graduate students are carried out by microscope. In this laboratory, there are 2 pieces of Leica microtome to get sections from paraffin blocks and ultramicrotome to get electron microscopic sections. Paraffin tissue processing, histochemical and immunohistochemical staining procedures are applied in histochemistry and immunohistochemistry laboratory. Histology preparations to be shown to students in practical courses are being prepared in this laboratory and researches are being carried out. There is a cryomicrotome to get frozen sections from the tissue in the frozen section laboratory. In the cell culture laboratory, many stem cell, embryonic stem cell and cancer studies supported by TÜBİTAK, DPT and the University Scientific Research Projects Unit are carried out and many studies are carried out jointly with the clinical departments at the thesis or research level. In the cell-based research and treatment unit and molecular histology laboratory, the Muse cell analysis system and the luminoskan microplate luminometer are used for studies at the level of molecular research.
