About

Bahçeşehir University Faculty of Dentistry educates world-class dentists who understand that oral and dental health is an important part of general health; who can work independently; who have acquired critical thinking competence and problem-solving skills; who possess the universal "access to information" and "use of information" abilities required by the information age for the protection of oral and dental health; who are inquisitive, dynamic and sensitive to the country's problems; who are successful in their profession and in the business world; who are open to competition; who embrace our artistic, cultural and historical values; and who are sensitive to public health and provide high-level healthcare services.

As the Dentistry (English) Undergraduate Program of the Bahçeşehir Faculty of Dentistry, we will make a difference among other Dentistry Undergraduate Programs with our Extended Curriculum, built on a "holistic patient treatment approach" that recognizes oral health as an integral part of general health, and incorporating "Digital-Aesthetic-Implant Dentistry" practices that have emerged as a result of current technological developments.

In line with this aim, the Bahçeşehir University Undergraduate Faculty of Dentistry Program Outcomes have been developed by matching the TYYÇ (Turkish Higher Education Qualifications Framework) Bachelor's Level and Health Field Bachelor's Qualifications with the competencies of the key National Core Curriculum for Undergraduate Dental Education (DUÇEP - 2016 Version 3.0).

Students who successfully complete the first two years of the dentistry program are awarded an "Associate Degree Diploma", and students who complete the five-year faculty of dentistry are awarded a "Master's Degree Diploma in Dentistry" and the title of "Dentist".
