In which ways do we support the professional, cultural and social atmosphere?
In our university, there are two types of community structures classified in professional and social categories within the body of SKS. While professional societies are specific to faculties, social societies are general. In this context, our faculty supports the development and experience of our students in the professional field with the Art and Design Society. Our students have carried out many activities and organisations within the societies so far. In addition to these, our university offers the institutional ground necessary to create an atmosphere that will enable the cultural development of our students through social communities operating in 93 fields from cycling to chess.
In our faculty, the development of our students in the professional sense is supported. Activities are carried out through institutions related to Artistic and Design activities. Artistic activities, seminars, technical trips, university-industry cooperation, application projects in real environments outside the unit provide students with experience. Our faculty carries out university-industry cooperation between the Department of Industrial Design and Polfisan.
