Bachelor in Architecture

Architecture combines design studio practice with the technical and historical knowledge needed to plan and construct buildings and urban spaces. Students work through design studios, building technology, structural systems, and architectural history, developing skills in drafting, model-making, and computer-aided design. The program also addresses sustainability, materials, and the social and environmental context of the built environment. Graduates work in architectural and urban design firms, construction and real estate development, and public planning agencies, or pursue further professional licensure and graduate study in architecture or urban design. The program is taught in English and runs over 4 years at Maltepe University, located in İstanbul, Turkey. Over the 4 years of study, students move from foundational courses toward more specialized electives, building both the theoretical grounding and the practical skills expected in the field. Studying at Maltepe University places students within İstanbul's wider academic and professional community, giving access to campus resources, faculty guidance, and opportunities to connect coursework with real-world practice through projects, internships, or research work depending on the track chosen. By graduation, students are expected to have a solid command of the discipline's core methods and terminology, along with the communication and analytical habits needed to move into entry-level professional roles or continue toward graduate study.
