Global economic and cultural structures are undergoing significant transformation, with creative industries emerging as a pivotal force in this shift. Encompassing a diverse range of fields including culture, the arts, and technology, these industries contribute not only to rapid economic growth but also to job creation and broader societal progress. This study investigates the increasing importance and distinctive characteristics of the creative industries, arguing for their formal integration into higher education through dedicated faculties. Establishing faculties of creative industries is essential for equipping students with the skills and mindset needed for future challenges, fostering innovation, and ensuring that universities remain influential and responsive within the fast-evolving global landscape. By examining successful international examples and innovative educational approaches, the study provides a strong foundation grounded in both theory and practice for encouraging the widespread adoption of such academic models.

TÜRKİYE’DE YARATICI ENDÜSTRİLER FAKÜLTELERİNİN EĞİTİM, İSTİHDAM VE KÜLTÜREL EKONOMİ BAĞLAMINDA STRATEJİK ÖNEMİ

Öz

Küresel ekonomik ve kültürel yapılar köklü bir değişim geçirmekte ve bu dönüşümün merkezinde yaratıcı endüstrilerin hızla yükselişi yer almaktadır. Kültürel, sanatsal ve teknolojik birçok alanı kapsayan bu sektör; hızla artan ekonomik büyüme, istihdam olanakları ve toplumsal gelişim için güçlü bir itici güç olma niteliği taşımaktadır. Yaratıcı endüstrilerin artan önemi, özgün yapısı ve çok yönlü katkılarının, üniversitelerde bu alanlara özel fakülteler aracılığıyla resmi ve güçlü bir şekilde yer verilmesi gerekliliği bu araştırmada incelenmektedir. Yaratıcı endüstriler fakülteleri, bu alanda geleceğe hazırlıklı bireyler yetiştirmek, yenilik üretimini artırmak ve üniversitelerin hızla değişen küresel ekonomi ve kültürel saha içinde anlamlı ve etkili kalmasını sağlamak açısından kritik bir rol oynamaktadır. Yaratıcı endüstrilerin sunduğu avantajları sistematik olarak ele alınarak, bu alanlara adanmış fakültelerin kurulmasının getirdiği somut yararları, bu tür programları sunan mevcut küresel üniversiteleri ve uygulanan yenilikçi eğitim yaklaşımları bu araştırmada incelenerek, yaygın şekilde benimsenmesi için güçlü, kaynaklara dayalı bir zemin sunmaktadır.
