In the 2011- 2012 academic year, Graphic Design Master’s Program with thesis or non-thesis Graphic Design Master’s Program started education in the Graphic Design Department of the Social Sciences Institute of our University.
The aim of the Master’s Program is to enable students, who can design products in every field related to visual communication and work on visualizing an idea in the most accurate way, during their four-year undergraduate education, to develop their knowledge and creative aspects in the subjects they think to specialize in, and to turn to new inventions. The student studying in the Graphic Design Master’s Program learns to research visual problems and to design with an aesthetic approach.
With the developing business life, the need for graphic designers is gradually increasing. The practices of graphic designers are effective in all areas of business and private life, from design to communication, from promotion to marketing. Graphic Designers can pursue academic careers, as well as work in advertising agencies, desktop publishing, photography and multimedia.
