For candidates who want to study the department and think that they do not have design skills:
“We do not have aptitude test requirements regarding our admission conditions. In their first year, they take Basic Art Education and Art and Design History courses. They lay the foundation with Basic Art Education. Learning lines, colors, and perspective is an experience and equipment for our students. The main purpose of the teachers is to bring this equipment to the students. With the art and design history course, the basis for the theoretical part is formed. Talent is something that can be discovered. The goal here is to discover talents within them and transfer them to life experiences.” expressed his thoughts.
