Bachelor in Interior Architecture

Interior Architecture focuses on the design of interior spaces, covering spatial planning, materials, furniture, lighting, and how interiors serve the people who use them. Coursework typically includes design studio, architectural drawing, materials and construction detailing, history of interiors and furniture, and computer-aided design and visualization tools. Students develop skills in spatial composition, technical drawing, model making, and presentation, along with an understanding of how interior environments affect comfort, function, and mood for residential, commercial, and public spaces. Career paths include interior design and architecture practice, retail and hospitality design, exhibition design, and further study toward specialized design roles. This 4 year bachelor program is taught in English at Istanbul Bilgi University in Istanbul, Turkey, a city whose diverse residential, commercial, and historic interiors provide varied reference points for design study. Over four years, students typically move from foundational courses in drawing and spatial design toward increasingly detailed studio projects addressing real-world constraints such as materials, lighting, and building systems. Studio-based learning, with regular presentations and critiques, is central to the program and mirrors the collaborative feedback processes used in professional design practice. English-medium instruction supports engagement with international design publications and software, most of which circulate in English within the global design field. This record at Istanbul Bilgi University corresponds to a separate intake of the Interior Architecture program.
