Department of Ceramics

Hello, I am Sümeyye Karakuş. I am a student at Anadolu University, Faculty of Fine Arts, Department of Ceramic Arts. Our department was established in 1985. It is located in Yunus Emre Campus. It aims to train designers and artists with strong creative aspects who will find solutions to design problems in the field of ceramics. In our department, theoretical courses that form a conceptual infrastructure and applied courses that we develop our technical skills in are given for 4 years. In our department, we have workshops where we can practice on industrial ceramics, artistic ceramics, ceramic technology and decor. We continue our work on ceramics in these workshops. In our department, students can do optional internships in ceramic workshops, artistic workshops and alternative fields including design branches. In addition, after receiving training on various branches of ceramics for the first three years, we are preparing our graduation project related to the field we want to specialize in, in the last year. Graduates of this department can work as artists in ceramic workshops and as designers in ceramic factories and various sectors. They can also become academics in higher education institutions by pursuing an academic career. The reason I chose this department is because there is no limit in learning and experiencing in the field of ceramics. I chose Anadolu University because of its success in the field and its technical staff. After graduation, I decided to pursue an academic career. I am currently continuing my work in this direction. Ceramics is a versatile field. Therefore, it provides an advantage during and after the training period. I recommend the candidates who will prefer the department to take advantage of this versatility. I wish good luck to those who will take the exam. We welcome the candidates who are interested in this field to our department.
