Our goal is to train scientific, ethical, and responsible experts and engineers. Occupational Health and Safety is carried out with the same fundamental principles worldwide. In our country, where industrialization and growth rates are increasing day by day, the aim of our department is to play an active role in providing physically, mentally, and socially healthy working environments with our students who receive education in the main disciplines of health and safety to train responsible experts and engineers who are committed to the goals of 'zero occupational diseases' and 'zero work accidents.'

Our department offers a four-year program, providing education in the two main scientific disciplines of 'Health' and 'Safety.'

With the opportunity to benefit from the rich academic staff and experience of all units within our university's Faculty of Health Sciences, our curriculum includes courses from the 'Health' discipline, such as occupational diseases specific to various sectors, health management, occupational epidemiology and hygiene, first aid, occupational psychology, and food safety.

The legislation that Occupational Health and Safety Experts are required to implement within workplace management systems is taught within the framework of occupational law, including the boundaries drawn by labor law, occupational health and safety law, social insurance law, criminal law, and related regulations, and is continuously updated with current regulations. In addition to our Occupational Law courses, we also offer courses in Environmental and Health Law.

Under the discipline of Safety Engineering, our four-year program includes sector-specific courses in areas such as Mining, Construction, Electrical Work, Ergonomics, Working with Hazardous Materials and Logistics, and Working in Radiation Environments, as well as the Safety Engineering Methods course, supported by sector applications. We emphasize the importance of directing our graduates to specialize in specific areas and support this with internships to ensure their involvement in field applications.

Risk Analysis, Risk Assessment, Risk Management, Emergency Plans, and Fire courses, which are scientific methods aimed at protecting workers from workplace risks, are mandatory courses within our four-year basic education program, being at the forefront of proactive occupational practices.
