Dear Students

Welcome to the Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture family.

By joining our faculty, which is at the center of creativity and intellectual production, you are stepping into not only an institution of higher education, but also a community where thought, dream and labor meet. As an artist academician who has traveled the same path as you, I am excited to walk together into the new era of this faculty.

Art, design and architecture require thinking, questioning and opening new windows to the world. Our faculty offers a strong ground for you to unleash your creative potential with its qualified academic staff, application-oriented programs and free thinking environment that will accompany you on this journey.

With double major and minor opportunities, as well as compulsory internship programs, you will gain not only aesthetic and conceptual equipment, but also a sense of professional and social responsibility. What you learn here is not only technical skills, but also how to get involved in life as an artist, a designer or an architect.

The university years are also a period of deepening your relationship with life, people and yourself. Enrich this process not only with lectures and projects, but also with exhibitions, workshops, exchanges of ideas and friendships.

The doors of our faculty are always open to your ideas, questions and dreams. Together with all our academic and administrative staff, we will be pleased to support you on this journey.

I wish you a period in which you express your creativity freely, experiment bravely and produce together.

With love and respect,
Prof. Dr. Ersoy YILMAZ
Dean of the Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture
