Strong Steps to the Professions of the Future with New Programs at Istanbul Gelisim University

Istanbul Gelisim University (IGU), which stands out with its innovative programs in higher education and suitable for the needs of the age, received positive results from its associate degree program opening applications for 2025. At the same time, important steps have been taken to increase the quality of education with unit updates made in some existing programs. In this direction, two new programs were opened within the Vocational School of Health Services, while three existing programs were restructured in different Vocational Schools.

Newly Opened Programs:

Two new programs approved to be opened within IGU Vocational School of Health Services aim to train qualified human resources for the digitalization process in the field of health:
• Tele-Health Technician Program
• Medical Data Processing Technician Program

These programs aim to bring a new breath to the sector by training technicians who will contribute to the sustainability of health services through digital platforms.

Updated Programs:

Within the scope of unit updates, three different programs have been restructured in line with sectoral transformations and technological developments:
               •             The Health Institutions Management Program at the Vocational School of Health Services focuses on training graduates who specialize in digital health applications, leaving their place to the Digital Health Systems Technician Program.
               •             The Electricity Program within Istanbul Gelisim Vocational School was updated and named Electricity Energy Generation, Transmission and Distribution Program. With this change, the program aims to train well-equipped technicians who are familiar with the entire cycle of the energy sector.
               •             The Automotive Technology Program within Istanbul Gelisim Vocational School has now been restructured under the name of Automotive Body and Surface Treatment Technologies Program, especially to provide expertise in vehicle design and exterior surface treatments.

In line with its vision of transformation and continuous development in education, Istanbul Gelisim University, which analyzes the new generation professions needed by the sectors in advance and offers a strong future to its students with appropriate programs, continues to respond to the expectations of both Turkey and the global labor market with these academic innovations at the associate degree level.
