Gastronomy and Kitchen Arts Department

Hi, I am Muhammed Burak Kaya, a student at Topkapı University in Istanbul. I'm a third-year student in the Department of Gastronomy and Culinary Arts. The Department of Gastronomy and Culinary Arts provides courses such as Professional Culinary Practices, Plate Styling and Photography, Menu Planning and Management. In our department, we have kitchens and Pastry Workshops that we use for applied courses. We have to complete compulsory internship to graduate from our department. We can do our internships in the 3rd or 4th grade. After graduation, we can work as a Kitchen Chef or Pastry Chef in private or public institutions. I chose this department because I like to try out different flavors in the kitchen, match different flavors and because of my passion for cooking. I chose this department for its academic program, academic staff and kitchen supplies. We meet with famous businessmen and famous chefs in various organizations . As it is with every campus of our university, we have libraries and study areas in Şişli Campus as well. After graduating, I want to improve my skills and become a good chef focusing on the far east cuisine. I recommend Istanbul Topkapı University to students who are interested in Gastronomy and Culinary Arts and to the students who want to improve their skills. I wish all the best to the candidates. We welcome you all to Istanbul Topkapı University.
