FACILITIES
The Faculty of Communication at Erciyes University considers
applied education to be as important as theoretical educa-
tion. We, therefore, try to help students practice what they
learn in class through certain facilities and organizations
within our faculty, such as Campus TV, The Campus News, the
News Center, the Erciyes Film Workshop, the Public Relations
Workshop, the Communication Agency, and the Photography
Workshop. All the units mentioned above perform a very im-
portant role by establishing interactions between the public
and the university.
