Akdeniz Üniversitesi İletişim Fakültesi

“A radio station run by students? Now that’s something you don’t see every day!” whispers one visitor to another. We stand before Akdeniz Üniversitesi İletişim Fakültesi, a vibrant hub of communication and media nestled within the bustling landscape of Antalya. Akdeniz Üniversitesi İletişim Fakültesi’s story begins in 1998. Established by a decision of the Council of Ministers, the faculty opened its doors to students in the 2000-2001 academic year. The first department, Public Relations and Promotion, set the stage for the future growth of this dynamic institution. Today, Akdeniz Üniversitesi İletişim Fakültesi boasts four undergraduate departments. Public Relations and Promotion, Radio, Television and Cinema, Journalism, and Advertising each contribute to the rich tapestry of learning and practical experience. Over 1900 undergraduate students now call this faculty home. In addition to its bachelor’s programs, Akdeniz Üniversitesi İletişim Fakültesi nurtures postgraduate studies. Master’s and doctoral programs are offered, building on the solid foundation laid by the undergraduate curriculum. The faculty has also kept pace with the evolving digital landscape, offering cutting-edge programs in emerging media fields. Akdeniz Üniversitesi İletişim Fakültesi prides itself on its blend of theory and practice. This philosophy comes alive through the various application units operated within the Akdeniz University Communication Research and Application Center (AKIAUM). Students hone their skills in real-world settings. Imagine budding journalists chasing stories for AKIL News Agency, or aspiring filmmakers crafting their visions in the AIFA Film Workshop. And yes, the whispers are true. The university’s own Üniversite FM radio station provides a platform for students to explore the world of broadcasting. The İletişim Newspaper, AKÜN TV, and Atölye Public Relations are further testaments to the faculty’s commitment to practical experience. The faculty’s dedication to knowledge creation is evidenced by its own academic journal. The “Journal of Akdeniz Communication,” a peer-reviewed publication scanned in ULAKBİM, showcases cutting-edge research and thought leadership in the field. Akdeniz Üniversitesi İletişim Fakültesi has also become a prominent host for international scientific events, including the International Media Studies Symposium (IMS). This commitment to global engagement underscores the faculty’s forward-thinking approach. The faculty’s impact extends beyond its walls.
