About

Our program, which aims to provide a holistic education in performing arts, is divided into two areas of specialization throughout the course of study: Performing Arts (PA), focused on performance, and Management of Performing Arts (MAP), focused on management.

The Performing Arts (PA) track focuses on acting, dance, movement, voice, and dramaturgy as a creative field that aims to prepare and develop the foundation of contemporary performing artists who can draw from different disciplines within the performing arts. The Management of Performing Arts (MAP) track, on the other hand, focuses on the production of performing arts works, the structures and processes of management, backstage technologies, and production processes related to the stage.

In addition to stage works such as theatre and dance, the program aims to equip students with the skills and competencies required to realize artistic organizations by concentrating on related creative industries such as concerts, festivals, fairs, exhibitions, congresses, meetings, and competitions. By integrating knowledge and experience in communication with a strong understanding of the operations of institutions and initiatives in theatre, dance, opera, musicals, and performance arts, the program offers students opportunities to shape their development according to their interests and talents. The curriculum ranges from on-camera acting to experimental theatre, from stage management to lighting design, and from festival and event production to touring.

In the first year of their undergraduate studies, students take foundational courses in both performance and management areas, gaining a comprehensive background in the field. At the beginning of their second year, they choose the diploma track in which they wish to specialize and continue with the specialized courses of either the Performing Arts (PA) or the Management of Performing Arts (MAP) program.

Starting from the 2026–2027 academic year, the undergraduate program previously titled Management of Performing Arts will admit students under the new title Performing Arts Undergraduate Program.
