Genetik ve Biyomühendislik

For Genetik ve Biyomühendislik, tuition fees are 5,000 USD per year.

Genetics and Bioengineering combines molecular biology, genetics, and engineering principles to study living organisms at the cellular and molecular level and to apply that knowledge to practical problems in medicine, agriculture, and industry. Coursework typically covers cell biology, biochemistry, molecular genetics, microbiology, bioinformatics, and laboratory techniques such as DNA sequencing and genetic engineering methods, alongside foundational mathematics and general engineering subjects. Students learn to design experiments, analyze biological data, and work with recombinant DNA technology, gene editing tools, and cell culture systems. The field prepares graduates for roles in biotechnology companies, pharmaceutical research, agricultural biotechnology, diagnostic laboratories, and academic research, as well as further graduate study in genetics, molecular biology, or biomedical engineering. Because the discipline sits at the intersection of biology and engineering, students also gain exposure to bioprocessing, biomaterials, and the regulatory frameworks that govern biotechnology products. This program is offered as a 4 year bachelor's degree taught in English at Istanbul Okan University, located in Istanbul, Turkey. Students in the program study within the university's faculty structure and benefit from instruction delivered entirely in English, which supports both international study and later work in globally oriented biotechnology and life-sciences settings. Over the four years, the curriculum moves from general science foundations toward specialized genetics and bioengineering coursework and applied laboratory work, giving graduates a combination of theoretical grounding and practical laboratory skill relevant to research and industry positions in Turkey and internationally.
