About Us

What is known as the Faculty of Communication at Marmara University today was established by Müderris Yahya Fehmi Tuna as Istanbul School of Journalism, as the first school of journalism in the nation in Şehzadebaşı in 1948. Having undergone several administrative and structural changes especially in the years of 1966-1967 and 1971-1973, it officially became part of Marmara University on 20 July 1982 under the name of College of Press, and then changed its name to Faculty of Communication in 1992.
