About the Program
The main goal of the program is to equip students with the creative, technical and analytical skills they need to build a successful career in the professional world of architecture and design.The mission of the program is to train professionals who are learning-oriented, based on value creation, questioning, and interpretation, subjective, creative, sensitive and responsible in social, cultural and environmental contexts, with design, implementation and management skills in a free atmosphere. The vision of the program is to make it a pioneer in thinking, learning and acting architecturally by using the contributions and potentials of different cultural belongings and experiences, as well as the possibilities of its geography, and to serve the local and international community, information and cultural environment with the awareness of its natural, historical and cultural values; being open to change, universal knowledge and developments.
Educational Opportunities
A gap in TRNC higher education will be filled and the range of education fields offered to students will be enriched with this program. Aim of the program is to train architects who have gained business practice in the field of architecture and to provide 5-year architectural education with integrated education after the 4-year education process. It will contribute to the training of architects who dominate the architectural offices and the construction sector, the number of which is increasing in the TRNC, and the management of these institutions based on the principles of more scientific, efficiency and effectiveness by training the architects. Graduates of the program, which is prepared in accordance with the bylaw amendment that KTMMOB Chamber of Architects has prepared, will be able to enroll in the professional chamber without requesting an additional training process. Also, in Nigeria where architectural education is accepted as 5 years, our graduates' diploma equivalence procedures will be solved without any problems.
Career Areas
Graduates of this program can work as freelance architects or paid architects in an architectural office or open their own architectural design office. They may also work in the industrial sector or in the technology-related design process to focus on the development and production of building materials or the urban environment. They also have the opportunity to work in research and education as an academic career. In addition to these, it has been observed that many architects have acquired successful professions in different fields such as literature, media, cinema, music, industry and entrepreneurship with their unique perspectives and creativity that they have developed with architectural education. In this way, responsible professionals in creative, social, cultural and environmental contexts have the ability to design, implement and direct architectural projects.
