Itiscustomarytosaythatalongjourneyhasledtothispoint.However,thatwould notbeentirelyaccurate.TheFacultyofArtsandCreativeIndustriesembarkedonits pathaboutadecadeandahalfago.Thiswasthetimethattheownersandfaculty membersoftheBudapestCommunicationandBusinessCollege(BKF),whichalready hadaroundsixthousandstudentsandwasclearlysuccessful,begantoexpressthe needforfurtherdevelopment.Theideagrewstrongerthat,alongsidethetelevision presencethatplaysacriticalroleinmasscommunication,itwouldbeadvantageous tooffertop-tierartistic(film)educationaswell.Thus,afterthesuccessfulaccreditation ofeightBAprograms,theFacultyofArtsandCreativeIndustrieswasestablishedat METUin2010.Sincethen,itseducationalportfoliohasbeencontinuouslyexpanding. Thefollowingyear,threenewprogramswerelaunched,andin2012,thefirstmaster’s programswereintroduced.Thereisnoneedtoillustratethisdynamicdevelopmentin detail;itisenoughtorefertoitscurrentstate.Today,weoffertwenty-eightprograms (15BAand13MA),bothfull-timeandpart-time,inthearts.Thefaculty’seducational rangecoversallappliedartsareasrelatedtothecreativeindustries.Visualanddesign artists,architectsandinteriordesigners,textileandfashiondesigners,filmdirectors, cinematographers,animators,aswellasdesignanalystsandartmanagersstudyand workwithinthewallsofourfaculty.Thisdiversityisverybeneficial,asweliveinanera ofculturalconvergence,withtheboundariesbetweenartformsbeingdismantled andgenrescommonlycrossingover.
