The Department of Public Relations and Publicity at the Faculty of Communication, Ondokuz Mayıs University, was established on February 1, 2010. With the rapid advancement of communication technologies, the demand for qualified professionals equipped with strong intellectual foundations—capable of integrating theoretical knowledge with practical skills—has significantly increased. In this regard, as in many parts of the world, communication faculties in Türkiye play a vital role in training such competent professionals.
Aware of this responsibility, the Public Relations and Publicity program at Ondokuz Mayıs University aims to educate students who are equipped with both theoretical and practical knowledge; who can engage in research, inquiry, and critical thinking; who can closely observe the society in which they live; who are capable of developing long-term solutions to social issues; who can effectively use communication technologies; who can plan and implement all types of public relations campaigns; and who possess the academic qualifications necessary to pursue graduate studies.
To provide students with opportunities to put theoretical knowledge into practice, the faculty houses a Photography Studio, Radio Studio, Mac Laboratory, and Computer Laboratory.
The Department of Public Relations and Publicity employs 1 Professor, 4 Assistant Professors, 1 Lecturer, and 3 Research Assistants.
