Health is the most fundamental human right and an indispensable element of the sustainable development of societies. Guided by this awareness, the Faculty of Health Sciences is committed to generating scientific knowledge, educating highly qualified professionals, and contributing meaningfully to public health.
In our faculty, education is carried out in both Turkish and English in the Departments of Nutrition and Dietetics, Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, and Nursing, while it is conducted in Turkish only in the Departments of Child Development and Health Management.
Our faculty provides our students with a strong academic foundation while enabling them to comprehend the holistic nature of healthcare services. With its expert academic staff, up‑to‑date curricula, and extensive practical training opportunities, our departments aim to educate students with professional competence, ethical responsibility and social awareness.
Education in our faculty is designed not only to impart knowledge but also to foster critical thinking, problem‑solving, teamwork, communication skills, and a culture of lifelong learning. To ensure that our students are equipped to compete at both national and international levels, we place contemporary educational technologies, scientific research, and community service practices at the core of our educational approach.
Through projects aimed at strengthening public health, clinical practices, fieldwork, and scientific research, we contribute both to the development of our students and to the advancement of our country’s healthcare system. With a vision of cultivating ethical, human‑centered, innovative, and solution‑oriented health professionals, our faculty reflects Istanbul Okan University’s innovative and entrepreneurial spirit within the field of health sciences.
