About Faculty

Dean’s Message

Founded in 1996, Yeditepe University Faculty of Communication aims to educate the communication professionals of the future through a modern educational approach and a strong academic staff.

The departments of Journalism, Visual Communication Design, Public Relations and Publicity, Radio, Television and Cinema, and Advertising Design and Communication are committed to equipping students not only with comprehensive theoretical knowledge but also with the practical competencies essential for success in the industry. Thanks to the modern studios, laboratories, and the Faculty of Communication Agency (ILA) in our faculty, students gain hands-on experience throughout their education. 

Our strong ties with the industry provide students with valuable internship and employment opportunities. Since the 2018-2019 academic year, our in-semester long-term internship model enables our students to work in reputable media institutions, NGOs, private companies, and local government bodies. This model plays a significant role in developing well-qualified communication professionals.

The faculty closely follows the latest developments in the global communication landscape and offers training in new technologies and artificial intelligence. Guest speakers from the industry are regularly invited, and special lectures and seminars are organized to enhance student learning. These opportunities ensure our students are equipped with cutting-edge knowledge and skills, making them competitive in ever-evolving communication world.

Four of our departments —Visual Communication Design, Public Relations and Publicity, Radio, Television and Cinema, and Advertising Design and Communication—have been accredited by the Communication Education Evaluation and Accreditation Board (ILEDAK) for five years (2022-2027), affirming the high quality of our educational standards.

Our faculty also promotes a global outlook through international exchange programs such as Erasmus+, offering students the opportunity to study at partner universities around the world.

At Yeditepe University Faculty of Communication, our mission is to empower students with academic and professional excellence. We are committed to fostering graduates who embody the values of the “Yeditepe Communication” brand and contribute meaningfully to society, both nationally and internationally.

We invite all inspiring communicators who wish to make a difference in the field to join our faculty.
