Bachelor in Interior Architecture and Environmental Design

Interior Architecture and Environmental Design focuses on planning and designing the interior spaces of buildings, integrating spatial layout, materials, lighting, and furnishings with the structural and environmental context of a building. Students typically study design studios, spatial composition, building materials and construction, environmental design principles, and the history of interiors, developing skills in drafting, model-making, and computer-aided design. The discipline also addresses how interior spaces support human comfort, accessibility, and function across residential, commercial, and public settings. Graduates commonly work as interior designers, exhibition and retail space designers, or collaborate with architecture and construction firms on the interior fit-out of buildings. This bachelor program runs 4 years and is delivered in English at Kadir Has University, located in Istanbul, Turkey. Istanbul's dense mix of historic and contemporary buildings provides varied reference points for coursework in adaptive reuse and interior renovation, while English-medium instruction connects students to international design discourse and practice. Across the 4-year curriculum, students generally progress from basic design fundamentals to increasingly complex studio projects addressing real or simulated interior design briefs, often concluding with a graduation project. The program combines creative and technical training, covering topics such as spatial planning, material selection, and lighting design, so that graduates leave with a practical portfolio and the skills needed to enter interior design practice or continue into related design fields.
