The Department of Public Relations and Publicity at the Faculty of Communication, Ondokuz Mayıs University, was established on February 1, 2010. With the rapid developments in communication technologies, the need for qualified professionals equipped with strong intellectual capacity—capable of integrating this knowledge with practical competencies—has significantly increased. In this context, as in many parts of the world, communication faculties in Türkiye play a crucial role in educating such qualified professionals.
Acting with an awareness of this responsibility, the primary aim of the Public Relations and Publicity program at Ondokuz Mayıs University is to educate students who are equipped with both theoretical and practical knowledge, who are inquisitive and analytical, who can closely observe the society they live in, who are able to produce long-term solutions to problems, who can effectively use communication technologies, who can plan and implement all types of public relations campaigns, and who possess the qualifications necessary to pursue graduate studies.
To provide students with opportunities to put their theoretical knowledge into practice, the faculty is equipped with a Photography Studio, Radio Studio, Mac Laboratory, and Computer Laboratory.
The Department of Public Relations and Publicity employs 1 Professor, 4 Assistant Professors (Dr.), 1 Lecturer, and 3 Research Assistants.
