VISION, MISSION,
INSTITUTE
AND
OBJECTIVES
OF
DEU
HEALTH
SCIENCES
The “vision” of DEU Health Sciences Institute is to become an educational
and research institute, with the following distinctions:
 Ranking among the top of Turkish Health Sciences Institutes;
 Being recognized in international platforms;
 Educating and training students appropriate to the international standards;
 Leading the national health and science strategies.
The “mission” of the Institute has been formulated as follows:
 To educate and train contemporary scientists, capable academicians, and
individuals competent in their profession and capable of applying their
knowledge and skills to different fields and possessing a strong sense of
ethics.
The “objectives” of DEU-HSI, many of which have been reached, are the
following:
 To educate and train competent professionals holding international degrees,
exercising “scientific thinking”, research-oriented, capable of “critical thinking”,
creative, and innovative;
 To prepare and develop an “ideal learning environment” with feedback from
the faculty and the students (educational system, supervisory system, physical
environment, scientific and social activities)
 To revise the educational programs continuously with feedback from the
faculty and from the students (horizontal and vertical integration, integration
through problem-based courses, interactive lectures);
 To inaugurate new Master’s and PhD programs and to integrate and activate
the ongoing programs;
 To increase the student body and to inaugurate modules and elective courses
which would interest students coming from various exchange programs, both
at the national and international level;
 To support research and take measures to improve research quality, as well
as the quality of “theses”;
 To establish links with nation-wide and international training and research
centers, to collaborate and cooperate with these institutions;
 To provide extensive and increasing support to train universal academicians.
