The vision of the Composition Department is to educate a new generation of composers who have a comprehensive knowledge of Turkish music theory and repertory, are aware of their responsibility for the development of an internationally influential Contemporary Turkish Music, and who have the qualifications of scientists.

The Composition Department undertakes the teaching of composition in various forms in both traditional and modern musical techniques and resources. The department educates students who have grasped our own musical tradition, and have a universal technique and wide experience. A generally high level of culture is promoted so ensuring musical production can be enjoyed internationally as well as equipping our graduates with skills needed to teach.
