Dear students

Welcome to our faculty established with the aim of raising entrepreneurial pharmacists as the first students of Istanbul Kent University Faculty of Pharmacy in the 2024-2025 academic year.

With our belief in multidisciplinary and product development-oriented education, you will graduate as a pharmacist who can make discoveries that will contribute to our society and national economy and has made entrepreneurial pharmacy a career goal. In addition to being supported by our faculty and staff throughout your education, you will be prepared for the pharmacy profession with the strength of our university in the pharmaceutical industry and the contribution of our research and development (R&D) collaboration partners.

As a faculty that will raise graduates who have professional ethics and professional standards, who are open to lifelong learning and production, and who are sought after in both the business world and the academy, in addition to our curriculum supported by elective and field courses, we plan to include you in our research projects starting from the first years of your education to guide you how to combine theoretical pharmaceutical sciences with practice.

We have made the necessary investments and established our academic staff to educate you, the future of our country, by our goals. Many of our full-time faculty members have completed their doctoral studies or post-doctoral research at distinguished universities abroad and continue their studies as guest lecturers in universities ranked in the top 100 of the QS world's best universities list. 

Our academic staff consists of young and experienced faculty members, most of whom are pharmacists. They have carried out and continue to carry out numerous student projects supported by the Turkish Institutes of Health (TÜSEB) and the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK). They have published and continue to publish in the world's best journals.

 Academicians with very high R&D capabilities who have achieved high impact value with the companies they have established, who provide consultancy to the leading companies of the sector, and who carry out continuous studies with the industry in the fields of pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics, and food supplements, and who have made a name for themselves with the national and international projects and awards they have won, have joined the academic staff of Istanbul Kent University Faculty of Pharmacy. 

Setting goals also requires creating the infrastructure to achieve these goals. In order to become an entrepreneur or a pharmacist sought after by the pharmaceutical industry, it is necessary to graduate with a strong background. This background requires working with many laboratory devices, being personally present in production facilities, and being present at all stages of a product, from raw material to preparation. For our students to have the opportunity to live all these experiences within our university during their undergraduate education, Istanbul Kent University management and academic staff have established three different research centers and three different production centers under the roof of the Faculty of Pharmacy. 

Istanbul Kent University Faculty of Pharmacy students will easily realize their dreams of working as entrepreneurial pharmacists or sought-after pharmacists in the pharmaceutical industry, not only in these research and production centers but also thanks to the unique physical and technical infrastructure of their labortories. 

As Istanbul Kent University Faculty of Pharmacy, we do not think in one direction while preparing our students for life: We will ensure that our students who prefer to become independent pharmacy pharmacists take courses from academicians with pharmacy experience to provide the best service to their patients. Thanks to the human network we have established on the basis of the fact that many pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food companies will continue to work with the faculty members of the Faculty of Pharmacy in the production facilities and R&D laboratories of our faculty, we act to meet the doyen names in the pharmaceutical industry with our students who will prefer to work in the pharmaceutical industry and ensuring that their knowledge and experience are transferred to our students.

Unlike other pharmacy faculties in our country, we will be signing many innovations in Turkey by ensuring that our students gain experience in every field related to the industry under the supervision of our faculty members in their faculties without going to industrial zones in the most comprehensive production centers established under the roof of Istanbul Kent University Faculty of Pharmacy and by ensuring that they constantly improve themselves in the industry and science.

I congratulate you 'Pharmacists of the Future' for choosing our faculty; I wish you a healthy, successful, and peaceful university life.

Dear prospective students,

The competencies we want to provide you with may seem like difficult goals to achieve, but when you visit us at Kağıthane Campus, you will see the academic staff and infrastructure we have established as a result of long-term intensive studies, and you will give Istanbul Kent University Faculty of Pharmacy first place in your choices without hesitation.
