Bachelor in Medicine

Medicine prepares students for the practice of diagnosing, treating, and preventing disease through an extensive curriculum spanning basic science and clinical training. Early coursework covers anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, microbiology, and pharmacology, giving students the biomedical foundation needed to understand human health and disease mechanisms. As the program progresses, students move into clinical rotations across specialties including internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, and psychiatry, gaining supervised, hands-on experience in hospital and clinical settings. The discipline requires a long period of concentrated study, reflecting the depth of scientific knowledge and clinical skill needed for safe and effective patient care. Alongside scientific training, students develop skills in clinical examination, diagnostic reasoning, patient communication, and medical ethics, which are essential to responsible medical practice. Graduates go on to postgraduate training and licensing procedures required to practice medicine, often choosing a specialty such as surgery, internal medicine, or pediatrics through further residency training. Others pursue academic or research paths within biomedical science, or roles connected to public health systems. This bachelor's program runs for 6 years and is taught in English at Üsküdar University, located in İstanbul, Turkey. The extended six-year structure allows the program to cover preclinical science thoroughly before transitioning into supervised clinical practice within hospital settings. English-medium instruction supports engagement with international medical research and clinical guidelines used throughout the field. Located in İstanbul, the program benefits from a large network of hospitals and clinical facilities that support the practical training component of medical education.
