Necmettin Erbakan University Graphic Design Department aims to enable students to produce aesthetically, technically and strategically strong designs by developing their creative thinking skills. Our department aims to train individuals who are innovative in the field of visual communication design and who can create projects in accordance with the requirements of the age and professional standards.

In this direction, our department aims to provide students with a professional background in areas such as advertising, printed and digital media, illustration, web and interface design, motion graphics and brand management by combining both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. In addition, our primary goal is to train responsible designers who follow the dynamics of the art and design world, who are committed to ethical values and who can make a difference at national and international level.
