Career Areas
Together with the socio-demographic changes in society, healthcare needs are also changing.

Graduates will have the privilege and advantage of benefiting from employment opportunities in all kinds of areas such as inpatient or outpatient treatment institutions, rehabilitation centers, and elderly-child-disabled care homes. In addition, graduates would have the priority for the position of an executive nurse in the clinics where they work. Graduates can also continue their doctoral education and become an academic in the nursing departments that provide undergraduate education.
