Emergency and Disaster Management

As in the rest of the world, natural and human-induced emergencies and disasters are increasing in our country. Demand for qualified experts is increasing also for risk and damage alleviation and management activities before, during and after all emergencies and disasters.

Emergency and Disaster Management Program aims to raise successful experts in the field of pre-disaster planning, security and evacuation procedures in case of emergencies and legal practices, who are solution-oriented and have strong communication skills, while providing all students with a general education in the field of emergencies and disaster management.

Graduates of Emergency and Disaster Management Program have the chance to work at Provincial Disaster and Emergency Departments, the units of such departments, ministries, fire brigade organizations and private and public institutions.

Graduates of the Emergency and Disaster Management Program have the chance to transfer to programs of Emergency and Disaster Management, Nursing, and Nursing and Health Services of various universities with the Vertical Transfer Examination (VTE).

The International Student Recruitment Office at Istanbul Bilgi University is always working on processing and evaluating students’ applications within a short time span.

Applications’ deadline is set to August-end regarding fall-semester applications. Future international students are required to submit their applications as soon as their official documents are ready.

The students who haven’t graduated from High-school and who want to send their application early and during their senior/last year of high school, can do so as follows:

• The evaluation will be done over the complete high school transcripts (3 or 4 years) and if accepted will be issued a ‘Conditional Acceptance Letter’.
• Once the student has graduated and obtained the high-school diploma with the corresponding official transcripts, the student should forward these last documents to the International Student Recruitment Office to issue the ‘Final Acceptance Letter’.
