In an increasingly digitalized world, communication is at the center of all industries and institutions. The dissemination of new media tools is changing societies and forcing transformation. While it raises various industry-specific expectations, it also imposes some communication requirements on all business areas. With this awareness, Ibn Haldun University's Doctoral Program in New Media and Communication provides theoretical information on new media and communication with practical applications to meet industry-specific expectations and requirements and meet the field's academic needs. Students enrolled in the program will be involved in the doctoral process by completing theoretical and practical courses at the doctoral level for two years.
Assoc. Professor Mehmet Karanfiloğlu
Our program includes the theoretical background of media within the historical development, recent media and communication theories, research principles, methodology, digital communication, culture and society, and practical applications that meet the needs and expectations of the industry. The program is taught in English. The areas of knowledge and skills that our students who proceed to the Doctoral level acquire after the program are as follows:
