Bachelor in Architecture

This bachelor's program in Architecture covers the design and planning of buildings and the built environment, combining creative design studio work with technical training in structures, materials, building systems, and construction methods. Students study architectural history and theory, design principles, urban planning concepts, and digital design tools, typically progressing through design studio courses that increase in scale and complexity. Coursework often addresses sustainability, building codes, and the social and cultural dimensions of architectural design. Graduates pursue careers in architecture firms, urban planning agencies, construction and real estate development, and design consultancies, with many continuing toward professional licensure and further specialized study. Delivered in English over 4 years at Özyeğin University in İstanbul, Turkey, this program situates students in a city known for its layered architectural history spanning multiple civilizations alongside active contemporary development. The curriculum moves from foundational design and drawing courses into advanced design studios addressing structural systems, urban context, and sustainable design. Istanbul's architectural landscape and construction industry provide students with direct exposure to historical and modern building practices. Over the 4-year program, students build the design and technical skills foundational to architectural practice.
