Director's Message

Welcome to the home page of the School of Applied Sciences at Özyeğin University.

Having been established in May 21st, 2009, the Hotel Management Program is the first and only academic program ever developed in its domain in Turkey.

In September 2012, the second program within the School of Applied Sciences, Gastronomy and Culinary Arts was introduced with the partnership of Le Cordon Bleu International.

This has formed a unique alliance combining high-quality management education of Özyeğin University with Le Cordon Bleu International’s long-established tradition of culinary expertise and training.

The vision of the School of Applied Sciences is to be among the foremost at the national, regional and global level, based on the values ​​of passion, progress and professionalism.

Hotel Management and Gastronomy and Culinary Arts, continuously developing industries both in Turkey and around the world, are highly attractive majors for the young generation; however, they lack well-educated and experienced personnel. Accordingly, it appears the Hotel Management and Gastronomy and Culinary Arts majors will continue to be appealing worldwide for a long period of time.

The mission of the School of Applied Sciences is to cultivate efficient and internationally recognized hotel and/or culinary arts professionals who can establish their own businesses upon graduation or build their careers up to executive management positions with international hotel and/or restaurant chains.

The Undergraduate Hotel Management, and Undergraduate Gastronomy and Culinary Arts Programs of the School of Applied Sciences aim to prepare future leaders in gastronomy and hotel management, possessing entrepreneurial, innovative, and problem solving characteristics, vested with sectoral knowledge and skills, leading to the creation of added-value upon successful completion of the academic degree in a well-designed career path.

Thus, I warmly welcome you to join these unique Hotel Management and Gastronomy and Culinary Arts Programs at Özyeğin University and to share our enthusiasm with success and pride. For further details, I kindly invite you to browse our web site.

Always acting responsibly and working hard enough to reach our goals, we care about tourism as the only industry on earth, which depends on peace.
