Our thousands of students; who we have trained through our lectures in Journalism, Public Relations, Advertising, Television, Radio and Cinema, are performing important tasks in a wide variety of areas of the Communication sector. We want to point out that we are proud of all of them.

The most important aspect that countries, institutions, and brands need in the 21st century is to have a “valuable idea”. The idea alone is not enough, but it is also important to be able to write a meaningful story with this valuable idea.
"Having a valuable idea" is about creativity, originality, experimenting with different ways and methods, that means, ‘inventing something’. Turning original ideas into a meaningful story, building a vision of the future, attracting the masses with it, convincing the public also stands in front of every country as a goal that must be achieved consequently.

İstanbul University Faculty of Communication is a place that pursues, puts big effort, thinks, investigates, invents a “big idea” that is valuable for every country. The ‘right place’ to turn an idea into a meaningful story is also our Communication Faculty. For instance, we sometimes take our place in a success story as a motion picture, radio show, sometimes a newspaper news/article, or an international scientific project.
İstanbul University Faculty of Communication; has the capacity to make a strategic contribution to the meaningful and successful acceptance of Turkey’s success story, which Turkey will write in the 21st century. Our precious Faculty with international qualifications, outstanding undergraduate and graduate students, lean on our 70 years of experience. And we perform scientific projects, which precedes the community to contribute to our vision are the most important indicators of the potential we have.
