Bachelor in Interior Architecture

Interior Architecture focuses on the design of interior spaces, addressing spatial planning, materials, lighting, furniture, and the relationship between structure and interior function. Students learn to develop design concepts for residential, commercial, and public interiors, working through studio projects that require attention to both aesthetic intent and practical constraints such as building codes and accessibility. This bachelor program is offered by MEF University in İstanbul, Turkey, delivered in English across 4 years. The program typically combines design studio work with courses in materials and construction, computer-aided design, history of interior design, and professional practice, building a foundation for both creative and technical aspects of the field. Students are commonly asked to produce technical drawings, renderings, and physical or digital models as part of studio assignments, developing the presentation and communication skills needed to convey design ideas to clients and collaborators. Coursework often addresses sustainability and material selection alongside the historical development of interior design movements, giving students context for contemporary practice. Located in İstanbul, the program offers access to a city with a wide range of architectural and interior design references, from historic structures to modern commercial spaces, useful for studio research and site studies. Graduates typically go on to work in interior design studios, architecture firms, or furniture and product design, with some continuing to specialized postgraduate study.
