Faculty of Health Sciences

I'm Canan HECER. I am the Dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences at Istanbul Esenyurt University. I'm a veterinarian. At the same time, I am one of the faculty members of the nutrition and dietetics department of our faculty. There are 5 departments in our faculty. We have a nutrition and dietetics department, a child development department, a physiotherapy department, a social work department and a nursing department that we opened this year. The facilities of each of our departments are very nice. Our laboratories are well-equipped. We have 4 laboratories in our nutrition and dietetics department, such as the food chemistry and food microbiology labs. Apart from this, our laboratories are active in the nursing department and child development departments. We carry out social responsibility projects. We partake in these responsibility projects with our students. For example, we are starting a project together with Esenyurt Municipality Women and Family Services and our students will take an active part in every step of it, along with every department of our faculty. We attach great importance to the contribution of students to science. For this reason, we notify students of all kinds of projects, be it TÜBİTAK (Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey) projects or BAP Projects (Scientific Research Projects). We attach importance to national and international congresses. We will have our second student congress, which we plan to organize in May. In this student congress, our students will present the work they have done in their graduation projects. Apart from this, we also carry out other sorts of projects with them. Students are active in the international projects we prepare. Our faculty's ERASMUS ties are also great. Many of our students go to other countries with the ERASMUS programs. Students who will choose us will never be bored here. We have a well-equipped faculty staff, and our laboratory and international benefits are very good. We have student clubs in each of our faculties. With student clubs, students can partake in activities they want and we support them to the end. Being together will make us happy. I wish success to all our students who will take the exam.
