Prof. Dr. Zuhal Kunduracılar, a faculty member of the department, emphasizes the human-centered nature of the profession, stating, “Physiotherapy is not just about technical skills; it is a science that touches people's lives. It is essential for students who choose this profession to be well-equipped both academically and ethically,” encouraging candidates to make informed decisions.
Assistant Professor Dr. Hüsniye Merve Demirer highlights the importance of clinical skills acquired through hands-on training, while Lecturers Suzan Aydın and Büşra Sayir share insights about student advising, individual follow-up processes, and supportive educational activities.
Research Assistants Gökay Çakıroğlu and Öznur Kaya Sağlam, who actively participate in the promotional area, share both academic processes and university life in a sincere and relatable way. Their direct communication with prospective students plays a key role in supporting informed decision-making.
The department aims to prepare students for a wide range of career opportunities, from hospitals and private clinics to sports clubs and rehabilitation centers. It also offers a rich environment for those interested in pursuing an academic path after graduation, with ample opportunities for scientific research.
With a vision to graduate professionals who are ethically grounded, scientifically oriented, and strong in practical skills, Istanbul Gelişim University’s Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation offers not only information sessions during the open days, but also the chance to experience the university atmosphere firsthand.
We invite all prospective students who are eager to build a solid foundation in physiotherapy and prepare for the future to visit our promotional area at Block K, Tower, 17th floor, until August 13.
