RADIO, TELEVISION AND CINEMA

Head of Department’s Message

Hasan Kalyoncu University, Faculty of Communication, “Department of Radio, Television and Cinema” is a young, dynamic school that attaches great importance to production. We aim to reveal the creativity and artistic emotions that we know exist in our students, -though they may not be aware of this existence- so that they can produce knowledge in an enjoyable approach without getting tired. Although we are still a very young school, our students have already started to participate in national and international festivals and make us proud with the accolades and awards they have won!

Our students develop themselves through both the lessons they take from the expert lecturers and staff, and the workshops with the artists we invite from abroad, who open up new horizons for them. Together they write scripts, shoot movies, and design radio and television programs. They also get the chance to apply what they have learned on the spot by doing internships at TRT, Anadolu Agency, ATV, Sabah, and local media organizations.

One of the strengths of our department is our international connections. We have Erasmus opportunities and student exchange agreements with foreign schools. We are also happy to be accepted to CIFEJ, to which world-renowned cinema schools are members. Golden Baklava Film Festival, which is held every year at our university and this year gain an international character, is organized with the active participation of our students. With screenings, interviews, and cultural tours that enable young filmmakers from all over the world from Argentina to Romania, Lebanon to Belgium, the festival transforms into a colorful activity.

Our four-year training program aims to bring you together with the exciting world of art, culture, and communication. By the end of these four years, you will perhaps become a film director, a screenwriter, a producer, a cinematographer, or an academic. Hope to go on this beautiful journey together…
