Faculty of Dentistry

Hello. I am Prof. Dr. Hakan ARSLAN, the Dean of the Faculty of Dentistry at Istanbul Medeniyet University. Our faculty is located in the Tuzla Orhanlı Campus, away from the hustle and bustle of Istanbul, amidst nature. Our faculty is one of the three state universities in Istanbul, which is a significant aspect. We provide our services in one of the state universities in Istanbul. In our faculty, we offer preclinical, phantom, seminar rooms, and lecture halls, as well as patient education in our clinics. We also provide services to our patients. The courses offered in our faculty are generally divided into basic medical sciences and dentistry courses. From the third year onwards, our students start seeing patients in the clinics. Before attending to patients in the clinics, our students develop their manual dexterity through various simulations in preclinical and phantom laboratories. From the third year, second semester onwards, our students serve as observers in the clinics. In the fourth and fifth years, they begin treating patients in the clinics. We support international education opportunities for our students. Our correspondence regarding ERASMUS with foreign universities is ongoing. Academic mobility has also been facilitated. In previous years, we have organized national or international online events that our students could benefit from free of charge. Graduates from our faculty can pursue specialization training by taking the entrance exam for specialization in dentistry. Additionally, students who choose not to take the Dental Specialization Education Exam (DUS) can obtain various job opportunities in the public or private sectors. Our students may face difficulties in developing their manual dexterity skills. In relation to this, our faculty members provide individual attention to our students in the preclinical and phantom laboratories. As our faculty is newly established, it has excellent equipment. Our student colleagues can receive all kinds of education here. Dentistry is a highly preferred profession in recent years. Our faculty is one of the three state universities in Istanbul. Therefore, our student colleagues will not have any difficulties in finding patients. In this regard, our students can feel very comfortable when choosing us. Istanbul Medeniyet University is located in our beloved city, Istanbul, which is known for its artistic, cultural, and social advantages. Don't be intimidated by the size of Istanbul. I believe that you will develop yourself greatly here. Dear young students, it would make us very happy to have you as part of Istanbul Medeniyet University Faculty of Dentistry. We are waiting for all of you.
