Prof. Dr. Tunca said, “Among the 50 professions that are seen as the professions of the future, there are fields that cover the education we provide in our departments and departments as EUL Faculty of Communication Sciences.
This shows once again that communication in general, new media in particular, is a field and profession whose importance and job opportunities will never die.”
Prof. Dr. Tunca said, “Based on the developments in communication technologies, considering the needs of the sector, we opened new departments and updated curricula; while meeting sectoral expectations and needs, it also increases our students’ employment opportunities following their graduation.”
ONE OF THE PROFESSIONS OF THE FUTURE
Prof. Dr. Tunca emphasized that communication is one of the basic human actions and pointed out that the importance of those who work professionally in this field will increase gradually.
Prof. Dr. Tunca; “Current researches on the professions of the future and the professions that will lose their importance show that many professions will lose their importance in the near future, and many professions will increase their popularity, especially with the new technologies being a part of our daily lives.
With the developments in communication and especially communication technologies, there are new departments and new professions that are added to the fields such as journalism, publishing, marketing, PR and design, which are shifted to the digital platform, together with new communication technologies. Such as multimedia content production, digital broadcasting, data journalism, digital design, e-sports acting, digital game design.
