Who We Are

Beykoz University Vocational School began its educational life in the 2017-2018 academic year. Our goal has never changed since that day: not to make students memorize theory, but to equip them with the knowledge and skills they will need in real working life.

Today, with our five current associate degree programs in information technology, we provide education in the most sought-after fields of our time, such as software development, cybersecurity, big data analytics, digital game technologies, and artificial intelligence operations. The applied dimension of our courses comes to life in our laboratories, which are equipped with current software and hardware; in your third or fourth semester, you take part in a real workplace, on real projects, for 70 working days.

Graduates of all our programs have the opportunity to transfer to four-year bachelor's degree programs related to their field through the Vertical Transfer Examination (DGS) administered by ÖSYM.
