We also opened the IGU Dental Hospital, which is equipped with the latest technology, where our students will receive hands-on training and benefit society. We are a university that cares about quality. The department with the most internationally accreditated in Turkey is our university. We are on the way to becoming a research university, which is our biggest goal. We prepare our students for the field.”

When you wear this uniform, remember the responsibilities it entails.” Prof. Dr. Sertaç Peker, President of the Chamber of Dentists, who attended the ceremony, also wished success to the students.
