About Us
The Directorate of Health, Culture and Sports (HCS) is the administrative unit at Üsküdar University that aims not only to support students’ academic lives but also to turn the university experience into a multifaceted space for growth. HCS offers a holistic structure that plans, delivers and sustains services supporting students’ physical, mental, social and cultural development.
From the moment students set foot in the university, HCS aims for them to develop into well-equipped individuals not only academically but also personally, socially and culturally, and to this end it adopts an approach based on students’ active participation. Through the activities carried out and the support services provided, students are helped both to make their university lives more productive and fulfilling and to shape their lives as strong individuals after graduation.
The services offered by HCS are delivered within an integrated structure covering health, psychological counseling, culture, sports, accessibility and student support. This structure makes it possible to offer quick and effective solutions to students’ diverse needs and to make university life more accessible, participatory and sustainable.
By helping students discover their interests, develop their talents and take part in social life as active individuals, HCS also aims to create a campus culture that strengthens their sense of belonging to the university. In this context, HCS continues its work as one of the core units that complements students’ academic achievements, adds value to their lives and makes the university experience meaningful.
