Goals and Tasks

Mision

The Department of Cartoon and Animation is a department within the Faculty of Fine Arts that aims to train young talents who can produce original works in the art, theory, and industrial filmmaking aspects of animation, as well as to train professionals. Established in 2004, it is the first department of its kind in Istanbul and the second in Turkey after the Anadolu University in Eskişehir. With this awareness, the department aims to educate students to become professionals who are researchers, know how to access information, set goals, progress toward these goals, define their personal art and aesthetic concepts, have the discipline of production and teamwork, and are mindful of ethical values to contribute to society.
