​Dear Students,

You have made one of the most important decisions of your life. You are now university students  welcome to your new academic home.

The Faculty of Pharmacy, Pharmacy (English) Program at Istanbul Aydın University was established with the mission of educating pharmacists who are equipped not only with traditional pharmaceutical knowledge but also with the latest technological advancements. Our faculty is located on the Florya Campus, which holds a Green Campus Certificate, and offers the physical infrastructure and technological resources required to support both undergraduate education and advanced academic research.

Our curriculum has been developed in alignment with the Bologna Process, the National Pharmacy Core Education Program, and international quality standards. We aim to graduate competent pharmacists who are recognized and respected both nationally and internationally. Upon completing the five-year pharmacy program, you will enter a distinguished and valuable profession with opportunities to work in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries, public institutions, hospitals, research centers, universities, and community pharmacies.

Thanks to the structured curriculum and the guidance of your academic advisors, you will be able to specialize in areas of your interest such as community pharmacy, hospital pharmacy, industrial pharmacy, or pharmaceutical care and clinical pharmacy through elective courses offered in the final year. In addition to your diploma, you will also receive a Diploma Supplement, which will outline the courses, projects, and achievements you have completed. This will enhance your international career prospects. The proximity of our faculty to Istanbul Aydın University's Medical Faculty Hospital located on the same campus provides significant advantages for hospital internships and clinical pharmacy education.

We place great emphasis on university–industry collaboration in pharmacy education. It is time for the Turkish pharmaceutical industry to move beyond generic drug production and become one of the few global leaders in original drug development. To reach this goal, there is an increasing demand for highly qualified pharmacists in the industry.

Our distinguished faculty members, who possess both national and international academic experience, are excited to welcome you  the future of pharmacy.

Dear young minds, may your path be illuminated with knowledge and filled with success, and happiness.
