Orientation Program for New Students in the Advertising Department at Istanbul Gelişim University
The Advertising Department at the Faculty of Economics, Administrative and Social Sciences at Istanbul Gelişim University (IGU) organized an orientation program for first-year students beginning the 2026–2027 academic year. Held in the university’s modern lecture halls, the event brought together the academic staff and the future advertising professionals for the first time, providing a productive start to their exploration of university life and industry dynamics.
With full participation from the academic staff, the event provided a detailed overview of the department’s educational vision, course content, the balance between theoretical and practical education, and the opportunities available to students.
As part of the program, newly enrolled students received detailed information on on-campus facilities, laboratory and studio use, student exchange programs (Erasmus), and dual major/minor opportunities. The Advertising Department’s faculty noted that advisory mechanisms and mentoring processes would be in place throughout the year to help students adapt quickly to university life.
During the interactive Q&A session, first-year students had the opportunity to ask their faculty members directly about everything they were curious about, ranging from career planning to the dynamics of creative agencies. The orientation event, which concluded in a warm and friendly atmosphere, enabled students to take a motivated first step toward campus life and their academic journey, and ended with a group photo. The Advertising Department at Istanbul Gelişim University will continue to prepare its students for professional life through seminars, case studies, and industry meetups organized throughout the year.
