Message from the Dean

At Atılım University School of Fine Arts, Design, and Architecture, our primary goal is to cultivate designers who possess critical thinking skills focused on social impact, leaders who stand out and will shape the future through a curriculum that blends theory and practice, project-based learning, and creative studio work. We provide an interdisciplinary educational environment that encourages continuous development, centered around design-oriented thinking, with a dynamic and participatory approach to education. With our ever-evolving curriculum, updated to meet current needs, we prioritize providing our students with not only the ability to use technology effectively, but also the critical thinking skills necessary to drive technological advancements. Through our memberships in international professional organizations, and our Erasmus opportunities, we offer our students extensive possibilities both during their studies and after graduation.

As a Design School, we define the students of Atılım FADA as 21st-century designers, artists, and academicians, able to apply the transformative power of design responsibly, creatively, and purposefully. With a diverse academic staff experienced in both academic and practical fields, we explore many emerging situations that drive change at local, national, and international levels. We develop and implement projects through our research laboratories, focusing on acoustics, color and light, and virtual reality.

We invite young individuals aspiring to become designers, driven by the excitement to create and deliver innovative and sustainable solutions to the challenges of the new age, to join the Atılım FADA family, where art and science intersect, and technology is used, and managed, effectively.
