The Communication and Design Program is a four-year undergraduate program that enables students to understand and grasp the principles, theories, and practical aspects of communication design. In this program, communication design is approached in the context of new digital phenomena—such as interactive interfaces, multimedia, next-generation communication technologies, and information architecture—with a focus on presenting information and ideas—comprising text, sound, and images—in the most effective manner across various exhibition environments.
The program admits candidates with well-developed visual and creative thinking skills and analytical intelligence, who are open to developing their design perspective.
At the end of the 8-semester educational program, the program graduates designers who, within an interdisciplinary art environment, have developed 2D and 3D perceptions, are capable of producing multimedia objects, understand the underlying technologies of these media, have developed design management skills, think outside the box, and have acquired a “Designer’s Vision.”

Mission
The program’s primary objectives are to contribute to the field by training experts and researchers specializing in interactive media design and to take a leading role in this scientific field in Turkey. To this end, the program aims to provide students with experiences that enable them to develop problem-solving methods to create compelling communication by taking user behavior into account, and to help them create a thoughtful synthesis of the power of sound, image, and text.
Vision
The program’s vision is centered on providing education, training professionals, and conducting research in the field of interactive media design within the broader discipline of communication design.
