Faculty of Fine Arts, Design and Architecture

Hello, I am Professor Emine Dilay Güney, Dean of the Faculty of Fine Arts Design and Architecture at Topkapı University in Istanbul. Istanbul Topkapı University Faculty of Fine Arts and Architecture consists of ten departments. Within these departments, especially gastronomy, digital game design, pottery film and animation departments are in high demand. Two more departments will be opened in the 2022 - 2023 Academic Year. These departments will be Fashion Textile Design and Music Departments. In the Faculty of Fine Arts Design and Architecture, the basic courses in the departments are design-oriented. Workshops are also available. Even in the Department of Architecture, which focuses on different things, we have art-based courses. For example, in the Department of Architecture, our Current Art Interactions course helps students to get involved with the arts. Students of our faculty have to do an internship for 20 days. Our graduation projects vary by department. Our students have to prepare one large-scale project in the Departments of Interior Architecture and Architecture. Other departments have graduation projects that they have established and planned focusing on their content. Our faculty has made various ERASMUS agreements. Our ERASMUS agreements in Europe cover countries such as Greece, Portugal and Poland. Our students benefit from these a lot. Our faculty held many activities in the fall semester of 2022. We organized a short film festival as well as seminar events on weekdays. The name of the festival, which is held by the students, is titled "The Other". We will conclude this project in the near future. We have had a strong turnout and we are very pleased with this. We will organize a congress titled "Space as a Communication Tool", which we have started preparations for, and it will be held in October. Graduates of our university will be able to find jobs very easily, focusing on their field of expertise. In addition, apart from specialty branches such as Interior Architecture and Architecture, students who graduate from departments such as Communication Design, Graphics Department, Cinema Television, Digital Game Design will be able to find jobs in various fields with great ease. The Faculty of Fine Arts Design and Architecture is located at Istanbul Topkapı University Balat Campus. Located in two regions in Balat and Ayvansaray, our university is a neighborhood university. We make the most out of such an advantage. What are the advantages? Our students are able to live among the residents of this neighborhood. Students who are studying in our faculty will encounter a community that is interested in the arts. In addition, with all our academic staff and education system, we offer our students a life integrated with art. Istanbul Topkapı University provides a lot of opportunities for our students coming from outside the city. Especially in the location of our university, there are many facilities. We're on the historic peninsula. There are historical places close by. We're also close to many monumental elements. In this environment, we believe that our students coming from outside the city will be very happy. I wish success with all my heart to students who will choose the departments of Istanbul Topkapı University Faculty of Fine Arts Design and Architecture.
