Major of Biomedical Engineering

Hello, my name is Haşim Özgür Tabakoğlu. I work as a faculty member at Izmir Bakırçay University Department of Biomedical Engineering. We will start accepting our first students as of the spring semester of 2020-2021 academic year. Of course, the purpose of the establishment of the Biomedical Engineering master's programme is to graduate our students in a way in which they can speak a common language with people both in the field of medicine and in the field of engineering with a vision for R&D. Our master's programmes were designed based on the Department of Biomedical Engineering as the fundamental area of research. Later we are planning to educate students who can conduct research and projects in other branches as well. Our academic staff is quite new, experienced and strong; we have one professor, 3 associate professors and 3 doctor faculty members awaiting our students. There are some standards to take into account determined by an inter-university board and the senate of our university when determining the criteria for students. All students can apply if they meet these criteria. What we pay more attention to is the studies that the students have done in the biomedical field, their goals for the future and their motivations in this regard, which I can say is the most important criterion for us. Of course, the area that the students want to focus on is also of great importance. Determining this area of focus and getting the necessary support in this regard is also a criterion for us. As I often emphasize, Biomedical Engineering is a multidisciplinary field. For that reason, we are able to accept students from medical sciences, pharmacology, dentistry as well as all departments of engineering. I actually have a message for the candidates who wish to choose us; first of all, you will be working together with an academic staff on academic studies that you have selected and planned, I want to stress on this; and you will be provided with a good environment where you can find good partnerships and produce great work. We would be happy to see you all in our Department of Biomedical Engineering.
