Our department, which was accredited by the Communication Research Association (ILAD) in 2020, successfully completed the interim evaluation process and was entitled to a total of five years of accreditation.

ILAD, the national quality assurance institution authorized by the Higher Education Quality Board (YÖKAK) for communication education, accredited our Public Relations and Advertising Program for five years and confirmed that it meets the quality standards of our department.

The aim of Izmir University of Economics (IEU) Public Relations and Advertising undergraduate education is to train communication managers who specialize in communication, human relations and creativity, as well as managerial knowledge and skills. ILAD Accreditation ensures that we offer quality education and train competent graduates in line with this purpose.

Congratulating the Public Relations and Advertising Department, the Dean of the Faculty of Communication Prof. Dr. Ebru Uzunoğlu pointed out that there is another criterion that students should consider when choosing the university and program they will study, and said, “IUE Public Relations and Advertising Department, which is among the accredited programs in the YÖK preference guide, prepares students for career life as well-equipped individuals with its academic staff, curriculum consisting of theoretical and applied courses, and sector representatives with whom it cooperates.”

As the Public Relations and Advertising Department, which adopts the principle of raising innovative, creative, and ethical communicators who develop themselves with the understanding of continuous improvement, we would like to thank all our shareholders.
