Architecture Technology and Interior Design

The Department of Architecture Technology and Interior Design offers a learning environment with a contemporary approach to education for young people of diverse cultural backgrounds.

The aim is to provide opportunities for future architects and designers, and equip them with the necessary knowledge and skills to cope with rapid global changes. They also learn to react rationally as well as creatively to contemporary issues in architecture, its problems, and challenges, within an interdisciplinary approach to education through an innovative academic infrastructure. Graduates are expected to contribute to improving the quality of life as dynamic individuals with a high sense of responsibility who are capable of assuming central roles in teamwork. They are to be equipped not only with designing and decision-making abilities but also with implementing project management functions.
