Bachelor in Nursing

Nursing prepares students for direct patient care and the broader practice of health promotion, disease prevention, and clinical management. The curriculum combines coursework in anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and nursing theory with supervised clinical practice in hospital and community settings. Students learn patient assessment, care planning, and clinical procedures alongside the communication and ethical judgment needed in healthcare settings. Graduates work as registered nurses in hospitals, clinics, and community health services, and may go on to specialized clinical roles, nursing administration, or graduate study in nursing or public health. The program is taught in English and runs over 4 years at Koç University, located in İstanbul, Turkey. Over the 4 years of study, students move from foundational courses toward more specialized electives, building both the theoretical grounding and the practical skills expected in the field. Studying at Koç University places students within İstanbul's wider academic and professional community, giving access to campus resources, faculty guidance, and opportunities to connect coursework with real-world practice through projects, internships, or research work depending on the track chosen. By graduation, students are expected to have a solid command of the discipline's core methods and terminology, along with the communication and analytical habits needed to move into entry-level professional roles or continue toward graduate study.
