Interior Architecture

Overview

The main aim of the Interior Architecture programme at Yasar Universityis for the students to specialize theoretically in interior architecture, scientifically analyze and synthesize problems in the field, engage in relevant critical thinking and conduct original research. Within the program, research that requires specialization in the field is supported by interdisciplinary dialogues with other design fields as well as related fields.

The program requires the completion of at least 120 ECTS, comprising eight courses (four compulsory and four elective) and successful fulfillment of the master’s thesis. There are three tracks within the Interior Architecture Master Program: A. RITM (Restoration, Intervention, Transformation, Modification in Interiors); B. Design and Culture; C. Environmental Technologies. Please click here for more information.

Students of the RITM track examine discourses in preserving, intervening in and adapting existing buildings as a sustainable design strategy. 

Design and Culture track students examine discourses regarding the socio-cultural framework of interior architecture theory while Environmental Technologies students focus on understanding environmental impacts related to the environmental quality of interiors, comfort conditions, ventilation, heating and cooling strategies, daylight, artificial lighting needs and healthy material choices.

Taught in English 

The language of education is 100% English while the time for completion is four semesters. This period can be extended for a maximum of 2 semesters. 

However, the Scientific Preparation period is not considered part of this period. Students who graduate from the program are qualified to attain the degree of “MSc in Interior Architecture (with thesis)” and can apply to study in doctoral programs. 

Thus, the program is an important step for students towards developing an academic career in the field while supporting professional research in interior architecture.
