Location of Bilkent University
Turkey, in recent years, has witnessed an explosion in advertising and communication that has resulted in the emergence of an aesthetic awareness in both the public and the private domain. There is a growing demand for well-educated designers in all aspects of visual language and communication.
The Department of Graphic Design strives to promote visual literacy, and the production of visual language to communicate messages through illustration, typography, photography, advertising, computer graphics, packaging, and contemporary media. To this aim, students are encouraged to utilize and experiment with contemporary production technologies.
The educational philosophy of the Department of Graphic Design is to question well-worn graphic trends, emphasize critical and theoretical thinking, and contribute innovative and individual proposals to the field.
The aim of the graduate program in the Department of Graphic Design is to provide students with a theoretical background in design and practical applications. Students with artistic or technical backgrounds may sharpen and enhance their artistic skills. Students select an area in which to specialize such as graphic design, illustration, computer art or animation.
Specialization in other areas is also possible with the approval of tutors. A diverse faculty of professionals, including visiting lecturers from Turkey and abroad, help students broaden their outlook in a larger cultural, scientific, and socio-political context.
