Our faculty aims to reflect art and design's dynamic, peaceful, and insightful power through projects that contribute to the city's art and design field, with a multi-faceted and competent academic staff. We strive to provide young people with opportunities for free and creative expression.
Our primary goal is to train creative, innovative, environmentally conscious individuals who are aware of both local and universal values, capable of using current technologies, and able to compete at national and international levels. After receiving multidisciplinary education, our faculty graduates can work in various fields related to their areas of expertise, and with additional training, they can also pursue teaching careers.
