About Programme

Founded in 2005, our faculty has been structured to become the component of a research-based university and has specified its educational and research goals as to achieve competency in both undergraduate and postgraduate degrees.



In our faculty the programmes operate in four paths of masters’ degree, namely, Communication Sciences, Cultural Studies and Media, Radio Television and Cinema and Health Communication. Also a PH.D and an under-graduate programme is conducted in Communication Sciences.



In addition to postgraduate education activities, our faculty also hosts various activities that connect with the field of Communication Sciences and are open to the university in general. These are regularly held activities such as “Colloquium Events”, “Documentary Days”, and “Communication Scientists Talk about Communication”.



With its international peer-reviewed electronic publication, “Moment Journal” and, Hacettepe University Faculty of Communication Cultural Studies Journal, our faculty provides an intellectual ground for the issues on the agenda of the academy and directs new discussions.



Adopting an interdisciplinary approach in the field of communication, our faculty will be supporting the qualified postgraduate education it offers since the beginning, with the recent undergraduate program since 2018.



The undergraduate program is the first and most important step of higher education. At this first step, rather than providing a purely vocational training practice in the field of communication, in accordance with the requirements of any scientific education, It is aimed that our students become graduates who are capable of thinking, researching, questioning, criticizing, and also to become creative, productive, and self-confident individuals.
