Abstract
Communication Faculties at the Higher education level in Turkey quickly become popular and continue to be so day by day. At these faculties founded without making any strategical planning and continuing to be founded so, the education has generally been formed as 4 departments - Radio, Television and Cinema, Public Relations and Introduction and, Journalism and, Visual Communication Design. When the formal and the evening education are considered together, it is seen that the number of the graduates from the mentioned departments is too high. As thought that all the universities having the Faculty of Communication give training, it can be foreseen that this number will annually reach the higher ratios. It is obvious that this population not being parallel to the employment facilities in Turkey will create employment issues in time. Yet, it can be said that the basic problem is more related to the educational outputs because it is impossible to say that there is a correlation between the facilities at the communication sector in Turkey and the quality and quantity of the graduates of the Communication Faculties. Likewise, it is supposed that this situation not meeting the qualitative demands of the private and public sharers for the employment arises from basing on the lack of the given practical education and of the class outputs. When a general comparison is made, it is seen that the conditions work more profitably in the European countries, especially in Germany.
The purpose of this study is to analyze the communication education in Turkey and Germany comparatively. In this sense, it has been tried to analyze the courses and their outputs qualitatively by selecting two faculties from both countries, Gazi and Fırat Universities from Turkey and Stuttgart and Magdeburg Communication Faculties (high schools) from Germany after the quantitative data has been transfered. The reason of these samples being taken as a basis results from the classification of the developed and rural universities. The data collected with the scanning method (websites) and literature scan in the study has been analyzed by tabulating. Of the data obtained at the end of the study, significant findings to be sample for Turkey has been achieved.
