The opening of the “Gastronomy and Culinary Arts” Department within Istanbul Gedik University’s Faculty of Architecture and Design will contribute to meeting our country’s need for qualified, innovative, well-equipped, and dynamic students who are active in the field of gastronomy, which is increasingly professionalizing both in Turkey and worldwide.
Currently, the perception of Gastronomy and Culinary Arts is not limited to being just a profession but is regarded as an aesthetic cultural discipline.

It is believed that designing these moments and experiences will contribute significantly to Turkey and our university.
