Program Objectives
IKU Master of Science in Architectural Engineering program in Department of Architecture targeted training of architects having necessary knowledge and skills, to integrate building super structure with the sub-systems, solving the problems encountered from design phase to construction and facility phase. In this program, it is aimed to train professional people having high technical expertise on service systems, structural systems etc. In a complex building, due to the importance of system interactions in building quality and performance, it is essential to use different systems (service systems, structural systems etc) efficiently and accurately and integrating within the systems. In this context it is expected from the architects having a professional role in the sector, being able to asses, select and integrate environmental factors and using these data in building design.

Establishment IKU Department of Architecture has started to accept students to the Architecture MArch Programme beginning from 2001-2002 academic year.
Beginning from 2004-2005 academic year, Department of Architecture has been divided into several programs which include also Architectural Design MArch Programme.

International Cooperations Thanks to the joint educational activities carried out within the scope of Erasmus, various courses, laboratory, and workshop studies are conducted in parallel and in coordination with our partner schools, allowing a wider range of students to benefit. Within this scope, numerous workshops and joint courses are conducted both domestically and internationally.
Erasmus collaborations are considered an integral part of bringing our graduate architecture programs to an international level, together with our students and faculty members, and it is aimed to be an opportunity that all of our students can benefit from.
The cooperation between our university and the European Union universities with which we have agreements began in the 2004-2005 academic year and has continued to develop each year through student exchanges.
The duration of activities, which must be completed within the same academic year, can range from 3 to 12 months (1, 2, or 3 terms depending on the system of some countries), with each learning level having its own specific time frame. Learning levels include associate/bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees.
Within the framework of Erasmus Teaching Staff Mobility, faculty members from partner schools come to our department to give lectures and conferences related to their subjects and to establish connections. Similarly, our faculty members give lectures and conduct research at partner schools. As a result, the content of our architecture programs is significantly enriched.
