The Department of Journalism comprises three divisions: General Journalism, Press and Publishing Techniques, and Press and Publishing Management. The theoretical education offered by the Department provides students with the fundamental and up-to-date knowledge required for the journalism profession. The curriculum is designed to enable students to understand and analyse the relationship between journalism and social, economic, and political developments. Graduates are expected to have a clear understanding of the role and responsibilities of the media in society and to develop a critical perspective on the challenges facing the media industry. Accordingly, the curriculum includes courses in sociology, political science, political history, law, and economics at an introductory level, alongside the theoretical foundations of communication studies.

In addition to theoretical education, practical training enables students to develop the skills required to gather information, organise it in accordance with journalistic formats, and communicate it effectively while adhering to the principles of journalism ethics. The Department aims to educate journalists who are capable of producing news content for a wide range of media platforms, including print media, television, radio, and digital media, and who can use contemporary technologies effectively. For this reason, practical training begins in the first year of the undergraduate programme. Basic Journalism, Journalism Practices, and Digital Journalism Practices are compulsory courses, each offered over two semesters for a full academic year. News Gathering and Writing Techniques and News Analysis and Editing are compulsory practice-oriented courses offered for one semester. The curriculum also includes elective courses that allow students to develop expertise in areas aligned with their interests, such as New Media Journalism, Health Journalism, and Investigative Journalism.
