The program at Yeditepe University in Istanbul, Turkey, is delivered as a 4-year bachelor's degree with instruction in English, giving international and local students a shared language for collaborative studio work and client-style presentations. Based in one of the world's major media and advertising hubs, students have access to a city with a dense concentration of agencies, production houses, and marketing departments, which supports internships and early industry exposure.
