Bachelor in Nursing

Nursing is the discipline concerned with the care of individuals and communities across the lifespan, combining clinical skill with a scientific understanding of health, illness, and prevention. Coursework typically covers anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, patient assessment, medical-surgical nursing, pediatric and maternal health, mental health nursing, and community health, alongside supervised clinical placements in hospital and outpatient settings. Students learn to monitor patients, administer treatments, coordinate with physicians and other health professionals, and support patients and families through illness and recovery. The training also builds skills in clinical judgment, communication, and ethical decision-making, all central to safe patient care. Graduates commonly work as registered nurses in hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities, and community health settings, with further study opening paths into specialized nursing areas, nursing education, or health administration. This bachelor program is delivered in English over 4 years at Haliç University in İstanbul, Turkey. Students benefit from instruction conducted in English, which supports engagement with international nursing literature and prepares graduates for professional environments where English is widely used. Based in İstanbul, the university situates students within a large urban health system offering exposure to hospitals and clinical partners across the city. Over the course of the program, students progress from foundational science courses to increasingly specialized clinical practice, culminating in the competencies expected of an entry-level registered nurse.
