Fashion Design Program

I'm Nurgül Şahin, a distance education student at the Plato Vocational High School Fashion Design Program at Istanbul Topkapı University. The language of instruction is Turkish and the education period lasts for two years. Fashion Design Program offers three different education models: distance education, formal education and secondary education. Our program aims to train people who have advanced sewing and pattern skills, are open to innovations, and will make a difference in the sector. We have courses such as Sewing, Pattern, Draping, Illustration and Computer Aided Fashion Design. Apart from these, elective courses are also offered. Istanbul Topkapı University Plato Vocational School has a Fashion Design Workshop for Sewing, Pattern and Draping classes. Students who have completed their 1st year education can do a compulsory internship in the textile workshop of their choice during the summer period or within the time frame until the graduation at the end of 2nd year. After graduating from the program, students can enroll in a 4-year program with the Vertical Transfer Exam (DGS), if they wish. After graduation, they can work as Style Consultant, Stylist, in Modeling, or they can work freelance. I chose this program to design different things, to go out of the ordinary and to improve myself continuously. The biggest reason I chose this school was that it had a distance education program. As distance education students, we can come to school and easily benefit from the library and the workshops. I plan to become a Stylist who is respected in this field and to make a name for myself with my designs. I wish success in advance to those who will take the exam and I welcome everyone to Istanbul Topkapı University.
