Founded in 2002, the ITU Department of Interior Architecture began undergraduate courses in the 2002-2003 academic year. The undergraduate program was generated as part of the contemporary metropolitan character of Istanbul, as well as the evolving architectural education paradigms, research and tools.
The aim of the program is to give students the skills and abilities to transform the scientific, technological, artistic, and intellectual knowledge of the interior architecture field and profession.
The annual new enrollment of the undergraduate program is approximately 60 students per academic year and there are more than 330 active students registered in the department within the undergraduate program. Until the end of the 3rd semester, undergraduates are part of a joint program with the Architecture department. This provides students with an essential architecture foundation and also allows them the opportunity to pursue a double major or program transfer credit. At the beginning of the 4th semester, undergraduates take courses and design studios specifically related to interior architecture. Scholars and professionals in the interior architecture field teach these related courses and studios.
Students must fulfill a total of 155 credits in order to graduate from the program and the curriculum consists of 52 courses: 44 compulsory and 8 electives.
