Unlike the traditional approaches in this field and taking into account the dynamics transformed by the impact of new communication technologies, the Radio, Television and Cinema Master's Program with Thesis is planned to include theoretical as well as practical courses. The program includes, but is not limited to, new media technologies, social media platforms, cultural policies, creative industries, cultural economy, film theories, documentary cinema, screen and celebrity cultures, photography and video-graphic practices, and many other areas of study and practice that the field of radio, television and cinema includes and touches on, on the basis of convergence in the media ecosystem.
The need for qualified employment and qualified researchers in the field of radio, television and cinema, which corresponds to a large sector and a well-established academic field of study, is clear. The Radio, Television and Cinema Master's Program with Thesis, which has structured itself to meet this need, aims to produce graduates who have the knowledge and qualifications of the sector and academia, have a critical perspective, and will have a say in the field of cultural politics and cultural economy.
In the program, which has a distinguished academic staff, students graduate by taking compulsory and elective courses and successfully completing their master's thesis. Students may also take two elective courses from any of the three master’s programs currently offered within the Department of Communication Sciences.
