Dear Friends

Our faculty was established in 2001 and commenced education and teaching in the 2001-2002 academic year. As of the 2025-2026 academic year, educational activities at our Faculty continue with a total of approximately 1,100 students, 40 academic staff (15 faculty members, 18 teaching staff, 7 research assistants) and 11 administrative staff.

Currently, undergraduate art education continues in four departments (Traditional Turkish Arts, Interior Architecture and Environmental Design, Painting, Cinema and Television) at our Faculty, while our Master’s programmes in ‘Art and Design’ and ‘Painting’ continue under the umbrella of our University’s Institute of Social Sciences.

Our teaching staff, who are sensitive to national and international developments in their fields and utilise evolving and rapidly expanding educational and teaching technologies, prioritise sharing their knowledge and skills with you, our students. They strive to cultivate each of you in a multifaceted manner, taking care to maintain effective communication with you throughout your art education, where one-to-one communication is crucial.

Our faculty strives to provide an environment where all students can feel at home, working to utilise all necessary resources in the most effective way to prepare them for life. In this regard, we want you to continue your education in a coordinated manner, without any disruptions and, most importantly, in a more planned way.

Aware that the years you will spend at our university are important both for you and for the future of our country, the management of the Faculty of Fine Arts strives to provide every opportunity that will contribute to your development as students. We hope that you will contribute to our efforts with the same dedication and responsibility by completing your education and training, and I greet you all with my warmest wishes and affection.
