Faculty of Dentistry

Hi, I'm Semanur Coşkun. I am a third year student at the Faculty of Dentistry at Yildirim Beyazit University in Ankara. Our faculty started educational activities in 2016. We complete 5 years of education and our language of education is Turkish. We have a total of 8 departments in the faculty. Since we take basic medical science courses in the 1st and 2nd semester, we use their respective laboratories. We have our laboratories classes such as Anatomy, Physiology and Histology in the 15th of July Martyrs Building on the Etlik Campus. In the 3rd and 4th semesters, we use Phantom Simulation Clinics in the Ovacık Campus for our theoretical and practical courses. After graduating from the faculty of dentistry, we can open our own private clinic. We are able to work in Oral and Dental Health centers within the Ministry of Health. After DSE (Dentistry Specialization Exam), we can work as an academician in universities. The main reason why I chose my department is my interest and curiosity in the dentistry profession and the desire to be useful to people. The reason why I chose Ankara Yildirim Beyazit University is that it is a student-oriented public university in Ankara. I was also very attracted to the fact that it offered a double major program and the possibility for a transfer. I also heard that the technological infrastructure, laboratories and the academic staff are very good. I use the laboratories and libraries to improve my professional knowledge. In addition, we can improve our social skills through the sports facilities or student clubs within our school. I want to take the DSE exam after graduation. Because my goal is to be an academician, for this, my first step needs to be a specialization exam. I recommend to students who choose Ankara Yildirim Beyazit University that there are many international students and different cultures here to get acquainted with; don't miss it. I wish success to students who will choose Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University, Faculty of Dentistry.
