The Faculty of Communication at Istanbul Aydın University / Student Projects

The Faculty of Communication at Istanbul Aydın University regards students’ active participation in research and project development processes as an important part of the Faculty’s educational and research approach. In this context, the TÜBİTAK 2209-A University Student Research Projects developed by Faculty students in different communication disciplines in 2026 focus on current research areas such as digital security, artificial intelligence, deepfakes and visual manipulation, gender representations, social media, crisis communication, and social awareness. The TÜBİTAK 2209-A program is a national research program that directly supports research projects by undergraduate and associate degree students.  TÜBİTAK
