Student Support Projects (ÖDEP)

ÖDEP 1: These are projects supported to create R&D cultures for students interested in project studies, to encourage them in research activities, and to motivate them for research. The project upper limit is determined by the BAP Commission.

ÖDEP 2: These are projects supported to encourage students who will participate in national/international student project competitions accepted by the BAP Commission. The project upper limit is determined by the BAP Commission.

ÖDEP 3: These are projects supported to encourage student projects that have been entitled to support within the scope of the TÜBİTAK university students research projects support program. Up to 30% of the support amount provided by TÜBİTAK is supported by BAP.

With these increases, MAKÜ aims to produce projects that can compete at national and international levels in the field of R&D and innovation. Our university especially draws attention in the scientific world with TÜBİTAK-supported research and technopark projects.

MAKÜ, A Rising Value Worldwide

MAKÜ's ranking in the 601+ worldwide and among the top 39 universities in Turkey in 2025 once again demonstrates the university's emphasis on scientific research.
