From Head of Communication Design and New Media Department

Dear Students, Dear Young People,

Communication is an extremely important and essential requirement for self-expression, to understand and be understood, providing information, creating public opinion, persuasion, and creating behavior change. This basic requirement is essential not only for people, but also for surviving groups, organizations, masses and societies. Communication, which is a phenomenon that connects complex, dynamic and different fields and creates interaction, is a challenging process that must be designed and managed correctly.

The changing political, social, economic and technological structure of the 21st century has created new business environments that require different disciplines to come together and work together. With the effect of rapid changes and developments in information technologies, interpersonal and inter-institutional communication styles, communication approaches and communication tools have also differed. In such a dynamic and competitive business environment, individuals, communities, institutions and brands have to design and correctly manage the communication process in order to maintain their existence, to communicate effectively with their environment. In an environment where the design and management of the communication process has gained importance, the communication sector also needs communication experts who have received interdisciplinary training, developed synthesis skills, equipped, innovative and able to evaluate and manage events from different perspectives.
