Zorunlu stajı var mı?

2. sınıfta dönem stajı bulunmaktadır.

Üniversitenin alt yapısı bu bölüm için yeterli mi? Derslerim yoğun olarak nerelerde olacak?

Atölye mevcudiyetleri, makina, ekipman ve techizatlar, malzeme temini ve benzeri konularda Üniversitenin alt yapısı yeterlidir.

Dersler yoğunlukla Atölyeler Binasındaki Seramik Atölyesinde olacaktır. Teorik derslerin bir bölümü ise Ana Kampüsümüzdeki dersliklerde verilmektedir.

Uygulamalı eğitimin oranı nedir?

Bölümün müfredatında yer alan çok sayıda uygulama tabanlı stüdyo ve atölye çalışmasıyla yaratıcı düşünebilmeye olanak sağlanırken, malzeme kimyası ve geleneksel teknikleri uygulama konusunda da öğrencilere gerekli beceriler kazandırılmaktadır. Eğitim sürecinin yarısından fazlası uygulamalı olarak yürütülmektedir.

Yeterli atölye, stüdyo ve laboratuvar var mı?

Seramik Bölümünde seramik ile ilgili her türlü atölye, makina, ekipman ve malzeme bulunmaktadır. Benzer eğitim verilen pek çok üniversiteden daha fazla fırın, makina techizatın yanı sıra eski okulların aksine daha yenilikçi bir anlayış sürdürülmektedir.

Mezuniyet sonrası iş olanaklarım ne olacak?

Seramik Bölümünden mezun olan öğrenciler; alanlarında araştırmacı olabildikleri gibi, seramik ve cam atölyelerinde, fabrikalarında veya farklı (kuyumculuk, mobilya tasarımı, dekorasyon gibi) sektörlerdeki tasarım atölyelerinde tasarımcı, modelci vb. olarak çalışabilir, ya da yüksek öğretim kurumlarında akademik kariyer yaparak kendi alanlarında yeni sanatçı ve tasarımcıların yetişmesine katkı sağlayabilirler.

Neden ARUCAD’da okumalıyım?

Bölümümüzün misyonu öğrencileri seramik ve cam olgusunun doğası, teknolojisi ve mevcut her türlü biçimlendirme yöntemleri ile tanıştırarak, geleneksel üretim teknikleri ile çağdaş sanat üretimini birleştiren çok yönlü bir eğitim verebilmektir. Bölümümüz ayrıca, öğrencilerine önermiş olduğu seçmeli dersler ile sanatın bütünselliğini kucaklayan, öğrencilerini diğer sanat disiplinleri ile yakın temasta tutan, sanat tarihi ve kuramı bağlamında da gerekli donanımı aktarmayı hedefleyen bir bölümdür. Seramik ve cam malzemenin çok yönlülüğünü ve sınırlarını kavrayarak, modern seramik teknolojisini kullanmanın yanı sıra araştırma ve yaratıcılığın önemini de vurgulayan bir eğitim anlayışından temellenir.
