Established in 1985, the Department of Ceramics embraces an educational approach that emphasizes not only the use of modern ceramic technologies but also the importance of research and creativity through a comprehensive understanding of the versatility and possibilities of ceramic materials.
With its highly qualified academic staff and well-equipped studios, the Department of Ceramics enriches its educational program by regularly organizing research projects, technical visits, and cultural and artistic activities, including seminars, conferences, and exhibitions. These activities aim to enhance students' knowledge, develop their critical thinking and artistic skills, and reinforce the significance of art in both education and society.
Students have the opportunity to undertake optional internships in ceramic factories, artists' studios, and various design-related fields. These internships enable them to gain practical experience, improve their professional knowledge and skills, and develop the ability to address challenges they may encounter in their future careers. In addition, international internship opportunities are available through the department's global collaborations.
The department actively encourages and supports students' participation in national and international ceramic competitions. To strengthen communication and facilitate the exchange of knowledge and professional experience, seminars featuring the department's alumni are regularly organized.

They may also find employment as designers in independent studios, ceramic manufacturing companies, or a wide range of creative industries. Furthermore, graduates can continue their academic careers through postgraduate studies and become faculty members, teaching ceramics and related subjects at higher education institutions.
