Bachelor in Architecture

Architecture studies the design of buildings and the built environment, combining artistic, technical, and social considerations. Coursework typically covers architectural design studio, the history and theory of architecture, building construction and materials, structural systems, technical drawing and computer-aided design, urban planning concepts, and building codes and regulations. Studio-based projects form the core of most architecture programs, where students work through iterative design problems under instructor critique, developing skills in spatial reasoning, drafting, and model-making alongside conceptual design thinking. Students also study the relationship between buildings and their social, cultural, and environmental context, including how structures respond to climate, site conditions, and community needs. Graduates pursue careers as architects, urban designers, interior designers, construction project coordinators, and consultants in building design and planning, often continuing toward professional licensure after further training or examination requirements specific to the country where they practice. This 4 year bachelor program is offered at Alanya University in Antalya, Turkey, with instruction in English, which is intended to support students working with international design references and, for many, pursuing further study or practice abroad. Antalya's mix of historic architecture, coastal development, and contemporary construction offers a varied local context for design study. Across the four years, students typically move from foundational drawing, design fundamentals, and construction basics toward increasingly complex studio projects involving larger-scale buildings and urban considerations, supported by parallel coursework in structures, materials, and building technology. The program aims to build both the creative design skills and the technical grounding needed for professional architectural practice.
