Bachelor in Radio, Television and Cinema

Radio, television and cinema programs study the theory, history, and practice of broadcast and film media, covering how audio and visual content is conceived, produced, and distributed. Students typically study subjects such as screenwriting, directing, cinematography, editing, sound design, and broadcast production, alongside courses in film theory, media history, and the analysis of television and cinematic works. Practical production coursework is central, with students working on short films, television segments, or radio programs, gaining hands-on experience with cameras, editing software, and studio equipment. The curriculum often balances technical skill-building with critical and theoretical study, encouraging students to understand media works within broader artistic, cultural, and industrial contexts. Collaborative projects mirror professional production environments, where students take on roles such as director, producer, editor, or sound designer as part of a production team. Coursework may also address the business side of broadcast and film industries, including distribution, broadcasting regulations, and production management. Graduates of radio, television and cinema programs pursue careers as directors, producers, editors, screenwriters, broadcast journalists, and production crew members, working in film production companies, television networks, streaming platforms, and radio stations. This bachelor's program runs 4 years and is taught in English, supporting engagement with international film and broadcast literature and practice. It is offered at Istanbul Bilgi University in Istanbul, Turkey, a city with a substantial film and television production industry, offering students access to studios and production companies for practical experience.
