Faculty of Communication, Marmara University is one of the leading institutions in our country in terms of brand value in the field of media and communication. Following the past few years marked by national disasters such as the global pandemic and earthquakes, our faculty continues on its path under a new administration. Our administrative approach prioritizes an institutionalization effort that can add value to the field, by considering both renewal and continuity, while acknowledging the structural transformation in media and communication, particularly the dominant influence of digitalization in this transformation.

In this context, establishing a faculty structure in line with the vision of a research university primarily through undergraduate and graduate education is among our priorities. We will focus on initiatives that enhance the current capacity of our faculty and ensure the production of professional training and scientific knowledge that aligns with the needs of the new century, in partnership with the public sector, private enterprises, and civil society. Along with improving the institutional capacity of our faculty, special attention will be paid to addressing the needs and demands in the field of media and communication. These efforts will be carried out with a vision not only focused on academia but also contributing to meeting societal needs.

Another important issue in the development of institutional capacity is the creation of an open and interactive environment that enables our academic staff and students to realize their full potential more effectively. Managing communication processes in a participatory and realistic manner in line with the faculty’s raison d’être and aimed at enhancing institutional belonging and productivity is one of our strategic goals.

With this vision and understanding, our fundamental principles will be seriousness, patience, and dedication as the Faculty of Communication at Marmara University strives to improve its institutional capacity and potential and reach the level it deserves on both national and international platforms beyond the borders of the campus.
