Bachelor in Medicine

Medicine covers the science and practice of diagnosing, treating, and preventing human disease. The program begins with foundational sciences including anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, and pharmacology, before progressing into clinical subjects such as internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, and psychiatry. Clinical rotations in the later years give students supervised, hands-on experience with patients in hospital and clinical settings, building the practical skills required for medical practice alongside theoretical knowledge. This bachelor's program is offered at Istanbul Aydın University in İstanbul, Turkey, and is taught in English over 6 years, reflecting the extended combination of preclinical science education and clinical training required for medical education. Students move from lecture- and laboratory-based coursework in the early years to structured clinical placements across multiple hospital departments, developing skills in patient assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning under the supervision of practicing physicians. Graduates typically pursue further postgraduate specialization training before practicing as physicians in hospitals, clinics, and public health settings, across specialties ranging from general practice to surgery and internal medicine subfields. The program's length and clinical intensity reflect the demands of preparing students for medical licensure and practice. Located in İstanbul, a large city with numerous major hospitals and medical centers, students in this program have access to a broad range of clinical training environments throughout their six years of study.
