History - Faculty of Tourism | Antalya Bilim University

Antalya Bilim University School of Tourism was established in 2010 and admitted its first students to the Department of Tourism Management in the 2012–2013 academic year and to the Department of Gastronomy and Culinary Arts in the 2017–2018 academic year.
Our School offers contemporary, high-quality educational programs aligned with the needs of the sector, delivered by an experienced and qualified academic staff. In the first year of their undergraduate education, our students acquire fundamental theoretical knowledge in the fields of Tourism Management and Gastronomy and Culinary Arts. In addition, during the summer terms of their second and third years, they participate in internship programs lasting a total of 120 days, enabling them to transform their theoretical knowledge into practice.
The tourism sector continues to grow both globally and in our country, thanks to its dynamic structure, constantly evolving nature, and significant economic contribution. In this context, our School aims to educate qualified individuals who are needed not only by the sector but also by public institutions and educational organizations; individuals with strong intellectual backgrounds, the ability to analyze current conditions, and the capacity to develop strategic plans for the future.
Graduates of our departments have the opportunity to be employed in tourism and hotel enterprises as well as food and beverage businesses, in line with the competencies they have acquired and their career expectations.
