Üsküdar Üniversitesi, distinguished by its thematic education model in health and behavioral sciences, is opening up new horizons for its students with a groundbreaking step that shatters traditional boundaries in Medical and Dentistry education.
Üsküdar Üniversitesi's Faculty of Medicine and Faculty of Dentistry, which educates its students with a multidisciplinary approach through minor opportunities, is offering new prospects to its students.
Students of the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry can now add a multidisciplinary vision to their careers by pursuing minors in many different fields, from engineering to psychology, forensic sciences to health management.
In a digitalizing world, the competencies expected from healthcare professionals are also changing. Üsküdar Üniversitesi, leading this change with its student-centered approach, aims to equip future doctors and dentists not only with clinical knowledge but also with perspectives from different disciplines. The new and expanded minor opportunities offered by the university provide a unique competitive advantage to Medical and Dentistry students in their careers.
Accordingly, students of the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry can gain the opportunity to pursue minors in many departments of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences, and the Faculty of Health Sciences.
Medical students can minor in Computer and Software, while Dentistry students can minor in Psychology
Thanks to this new opportunity, a medical student can specialize in developing artificial intelligence applications or telemedicine systems in healthcare in the future by minoring in Computer or Software Engineering. Similarly, with a Bioengineering minor, they can gain in-depth knowledge in fields such as genetics and tissue engineering. A dentistry student, by pursuing a Psychology minor, can make a difference in communicating with patients experiencing dental phobia and managing treatment processes.
This multidisciplinary approach provides graduates not only a second specialization certificate but also the competence to generate innovative solutions to the complex problems of the modern healthcare sector.
Minor departments that Medical and Dentistry students can choose from:
• Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences: Psychology, Psychology (English), Sociology
• Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences: Computer Engineering (English), Bioengineering (English), Software Engineering (English), Forensic Sciences
• Faculty of Health Sciences: Occupational Health and Safety, Health Management, Social Work
Minor Application Requirements:
• Timing: Undergraduate students can apply at the beginning of their 3rd semester at the earliest, and the 6th semester at the latest.
• Grade Point Average (GPA): Must be at least 3.00 (out of 4).
