Marmara Üniversitesi İletişim Fakültesi

What Marmara Üniversitesi İletişim Fakültesi does

Marmara Üniversitesi İletişim Fakültesi is the Faculty of Communication at Marmara University, a public state university in Istanbul, Türkiye, whose institutional roots trace to 1883. The faculty, listed as established in 1982, operates three academic departments — Gazetecilik (Journalism), Radyo Televizyon ve Sinema (Radio Television and Cinema), and Halkla İlişkiler ve Tanıtım (Public Relations and Publicity) — and delivers undergraduate and graduate degree programs to domestic Turkish students and a secondary international cohort. Demand generation runs through the national YKS university entrance system, the central Aday Öğrenci Portalı (Candidate Student Portal), orientation events, and the Erasmus and Farabi exchange programs managed by the Uluslararası Ofis.

The faculty's core academic infrastructure includes the İletişim Araştırmaları ve Uygulama Laboratuvarı (İLAB / Communication Research and Practice Laboratory), the Marmara Medya Merkezi (Marmara Media Center), the Marmara Gazete student-run newspaper, and a dedicated Türkçe Doğal Dil İşleme Projesi (Turkish Natural Language Processing Project) hosted at nlpiletisim.marmara.edu.tr. It publishes the Türkiye İletişim Araştırmaları Dergisi academic journal, runs specialized workshops (Media Literacy, Academic Writing, Public Relations and Advertising, Learning by Doing, Media Archaeology, Climate and Environmental Journalism), and convenes the annual MİLEF (Marmara International Graduate Communication Students Congress), which was elevated from national to international status in 2025.

As a public academic institution, the faculty does not operate a commercial revenue model. It is funded primarily through the Turkish state higher education budget under YÖK oversight, supplemented by competitive research grants from TÜBİTAK and the European Union (notably the MOCCA international project). Tuition is YÖK-regulated and undisclosed. The faculty's value proposition centers on accredited degree programs, practical skills development via student media and workshops, a research culture anchored in TÜBİTAK-funded projects and EU collaborations, and the international MİLEF congress platform, with the Department of Public Relations and Publicity holding a maximum-term 5-year accreditation.
