However, the following faculties will have face-to-face training in their clinical practice in the following classes: Faculty of Medicine (4th, 5th and 6th grade), Faculty of Dentistry (4th and 5th grade), Faculty of Pharmacy (5th grade)
b) Except for the above, the lectures, applications and exam activities of all academic units in our university's associate, undergraduate and graduate programs will be carried out with digital facilities and distance education methods.
