Visual Communication Design Department bases its foundations on art-design and technology concepts. The main goal of the department is to ensure that students have the best possible use of all the equipment they need to use in creating and managing effective audiovisual language. Our students learn how to study visual and auditory communication-design environments from an interdisciplinary point of view. In this way, they can realize designs that are compatible with today's industrial production forms and information technology standards. Thanks to the education in our department, the necessary environment and knowledge are provided for students to produce creative and innovative design solutions.
