Welcome to the Cappadocia University Faculty of Health Sciences family.
You have embarked on a journey to study in one of the most special professional fields that directly touches human life. On this journey, it is essential that you are equipped not only with knowledge but also with empathy, responsibility, and ethical values. As the Faculty of Health Sciences, our goal is not only to provide you with a profession but also to equip you with the knowledge and skills necessary to become individuals who follow the requirements of the age, question, research, and contribute to society.
Each field within health sciences—Nutrition and Dietetics, Child Development, Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, Speech and Language Therapy, Audiology, Nursing, and Midwifery—sheds light on a different stage and need of human life. This multidisciplinary structure aims to provide you with a perspective that values teamwork and interprofessional collaboration.
In line with our mission, we are committed to training healthcare professionals who can follow the most up-to-date scientific knowledge, integrate technological advancements into their professional practices, adhere strictly to ethical values, and carry a strong sense of social responsibility.
Each of you will have a unique path. We are here to guide you in the best possible way on this journey. We will support you with both theoretical and practical training so that you can follow current scientific knowledge, use technology effectively, and develop your professional skills. Our aim throughout your education is to ensure that you are trained not only as knowledgeable individuals but as competent healthcare professionals who can adapt to a changing world, remain committed to ethical principles, and show respect for humanity.
Remember that the profession you have chosen is not merely a career; it is a responsibility to serve “health,” the most valuable aspect of life. Our greatest goal is to see you graduate as well-equipped individuals who uphold ethical values, possess scientific competence, and demonstrate human sensitivity.
We will always stand by your side on this journey—supporting you with care, attention, and compassion. Together, we will learn, grow, and advance. I wish you a fulfilling and successful academic life ahead.
