Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences - Dean's Message

With the vision of becoming a leader in our country's technological development and one of the world's distinguished faculties, Bahçeşehir University Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences, on the one hand,

• conducts research and project development activities aimed at generating knowledge that will enhance the welfare and happiness of humanity, transforming it into products and disseminating it, while, on the other hand,

• providing education at universal standards in order to educate entrepreneurial, leading engineers and scientists with high ethical values and the 21st-century competencies required, in particular, by the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

All departments within our Faculty provide instruction entirely in English, and the preparation of course curricula and content takes into account both the current and future needs of society. Our programs also aim to enable our graduates to work anywhere in the globalized world. To help our students graduate fully prepared for their professional careers, we offer a curriculum integrated with practice that also allows them to benefit from our university's international opportunities, and we implement various models of close collaboration with industry. In this context, we have CO-OP agreements with more than 2,000 companies.

Across all of our departments, every opportunity and environment is created for students to develop their innovation and creativity, critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, and communication and collaboration skills. Our Faculty makes extensive use of Distance Education Technologies, ensuring that students can access information independent of time and place and maintain continuous interaction with faculty members.

In line with Bahçeşehir University's contemporary educational philosophy, student and faculty exchange programs and joint scientific studies are conducted with distinguished universities in the United States, Europe and the Far East. In this way, we aim to broaden our students' horizons, give them access to cultural richness, and prepare them to contribute to society as individuals who can use effective communication techniques.

In addition, many of our undergraduate programs have received internationally recognized MÜDEK accreditation, while the evaluation process for the others is ongoing. If you also aspire to become leading, research-oriented, innovative and entrepreneurial engineers and scientists with 21st-century competencies, I look forward to welcoming you to our Faculty.
