Cartoon and Animation Department

Hello, I'm Zehra Şiren. I am a 2nd year student at Istanbul Topkapı University Cartoon and Animation Department. With animation techniques, we can mobilize inanimate objects and designs. Our department is located in the Balat Campus. The courses we take in the department are courses such as Art Design, Information Design, Animation Design. We have computer labs in our department. We also have drawing workshops. We use all of these in the course. We have internship and graduation projects. Our graduation project consists of a short animated film that covers the main content taught to us in these four years. Our internship lasts for 20 days. After completing the internship and graduation project, we can graduate. After graduation, we can work in sectors such as advertising agencies, television channels and multimedia. The reason why I chose the Department of Cartoon and Animation was that I studied Fine Arts in high school, so I wanted to continue my education at the Faculty of Fine Arts. Also, I chose this department because I was interested in cartoons, character design and creative subjects. One of the biggest factors in my preference for Istanbul Topkapı University is its well-equipped academic staff. It was also an advantage for me as it is in an accessible location. The facilities I benefited most while studying at the department are computer laboratories, drawing workshops and the library. All these benefits make a significant contribution to my education. After graduation, I want to gain experience working in an animation company and then I want to start my own company. I recommend this department to candidates who are confident in their talents and design. I wish success to the candidates who will choose Istanbul Topkapı University Cartoon and Animation Department.
