Non-thesis Master's Program in Cultural Policy and Management (Turkish)
About the Program
The fact that there are not enough graduate-level programs in our country that examine, regulate, and/or make concrete suggestions about cultural policies, management, and cultural production is one of the main reasons for opening the program. The program will bring the management of cultural policies to an academic basis and it will prepare the ground for the managers and personnel involved in the policymaking and implementation process to gain an academic awareness and formation. In addition, examining Turkey's rich and multidimensional cultural fields such as history, tourism, art, architecture, and literature will contribute to national and international scientific knowledge. Considering that Anatolian geography has been a cultural center since ancient times, the importance of cultural policy management is seen in terms of evaluating Turkey's cultural heritage. In this context, this program deals with Turkey specific processes, dynamics, and perspectives of cultural institutions, places, and cultural policies in Turkey. It also shows the dynamic relationship of culture and art with the political structure. The fact that the program is designed as an interdisciplinary program that aims to provide a productive environment for political, economic, and cultural actors to work together and exchange ideas. Thus, the Non-Thesis Master in Cultural Policy Management will provide a necessary interdisciplinary framework for both positioning Turkey's rich and multidimensional cultural heritage within the world cultural history and analyzing it from a versatile perspective. Within the scope of the program, academic activities that will support the development of cultural policies and the strengthening of cultural institutions will be carried out with the joint participation of all actors of the cultural field.
It is aimed that the students who will graduate from this program will work as expert personnel in the relevant public institutions and organizations, central and local government institutions especially Ministry of Culture and Tourism, museums, institutions operating in
librarianship, private institutions operating in the field of culture, art, and tourism, and national and international non-governmental organizations. Graduates will be able to continue their academic careers on cultural policies if they choose.
