I'm Assoc Prof. Burak Mil, Head of İstanbul Kent University Department of Gastronomy and Culinary Arts
Gastronomy and Culinary Arts are undergoing rapid professionalization both in Turkey and the world. It also has become an ever-growing field.
Gastronomy is not only after offering tasty dishes.
At the same time, gastronomy is not just a profession but also a form of art and kitchen management process.
Our Department offers 4-years undergraduate education.
The curriculum is a combination of theoretical and applied training.
Applied courses cover the majority of the curriculum with a focus on Turkish Cuisine and World Cuisine.
We offer practical courses on Turkish Cuisine, European Cuisine, namely French, Spanish and Italian Cuisine,
North and South American Cuisine, Asian Cuisine and Russian Cuisine.
In addition, business and marketing courses are offered to students who want to establish their own business.
In our Taksim Campus - the center of Istanbul- with teaching staff with academic and sectoral experience 
we teach students a modern education curriculum
and provide the opportunity to become leading professionals in the field and employability anywhere in the world.
My advice to prospective students is to learn the location of the campus, get information about the workshops and hands-on training facilities,
question the contemporary infrastructure, expert education staff and employability of graduates.
And finally, visit the campus if possible.
