About Us

Health Service has a different place and importance among the basic needs of people. However, in order to provide an effective Health Service to the society, different components must be brought together by providing minimum conditions and this unity must be continuous. Nursing profession is the strongest determinant in the emergence of the quality of Health Service. Because the contact point where the service provided is experienced most intensely in the eyes of the patient is the moments when the art of nursing is performed.

The basis of providing qualified service is based on receiving nursing education from competent hands, under appropriate conditions and adequately. The change in the health sector, the increase in competition in the national and international arena, the increasing importance of quality in health, the indispensability of patient and employee satisfaction have revealed the necessity of providing nursing education at undergraduate level for qualified labour force.

With this awareness Izmir University of Economics is planning to educate nurses who will;

• enable to give education and serve to community in order to protect and improve the health of society, 
• contribute to the proffesion and science by providing global knowledge,
• culturally equipped,
• have ethical principles and ability of being a team member,
• provides education with a Nursing Department aiming to train healthcare professionals and academic staff with high self-confidence in problem solving and research.

Our students, who receive theoretical and laboratory education in the first three years, have the opportunity to make intensive practice in hospitals and various fields in order to reinforce their observations and experiences in the last year.
