We train media professionals in the Department of Radio, Television and Cinema: If we think in terms of Cinema, Television, Radio and production, our students, who can work in various positions in the advertising sector, draw a path for themselves, develop and transform through compulsory and elective courses for four years. We prepare our students, whose personal and professional development we care about separately, with various activities -seminars, media visits, internships, projects - as well as lessons.
Understanding the nature of mass media, which has many different functions from cultural transmission to news, from entertainment to creating public opinion, and to evaluate this structure with a critical perspective is an important competence that the students of the department will acquire. We want students to both get to know the system they are going into and be able to look at it with a critical eye. In this way, we think that they can contribute to the sector and offer innovation.
With this aim, both theoretical and practical training is provided in the department. In this way, we aim to train students who can analyze media discourses, look at the industry from a holistic perspective, follow international academic and professional publications with a 100% English curriculum, reflect their aesthetic understanding and perspective on the works they produce, and most importantly have professional ethics.
We offer students the opportunity to produce short and medium-length films, documentaries, TV programs, video arts, commercials and screenplays, which are enriched by the support of academically competent lecturers, as well as the collaborations with media professionals and professional organizations who teach in our department.
