Istinye University Master’s Program with Thesis in Interior Architecture, which began accepting students as of the 2022-2023 academic year, aims to provide advanced expertise to professionals who have completed their undergraduate education in design disciplines. Conducted in Turkish, our program is structured to meet the theoretical and application-oriented development needs of professionals coming from diverse disciplines such as Interior Architecture, Architecture, Industrial Design, and Landscape Architecture.

In today's design world, relying solely on undergraduate education carries the risk of falling behind in professional competition. To manage independent design offices or hold signing authority in strategic projects at global standards, master's level expertise has become a prerequisite. Our program trains visionary designers who will fill this qualified specialist gap in Turkey and around the world.

Academic Process and Career Focus:
Within the framework of Istinye University Postgraduate Education and Training Regulations, graduates who successfully complete the course period and their original thesis process are entitled to receive a Master of Science in Interior Architecture and Environmental Design (with Thesis) degree. This academic degree symbolizes not only design talent but also competence in R&D and scientific research methodologies.

  • Sectoral Specialization Fields: A wide business field ranging from architectural project offices and construction site management to R&D units; and from economic analysis companies focused on the building sector to organizations producing computer-based design software.
  • Strategic Equipment: The opportunity to gain academic and technical depth beyond undergraduate education in specific areas such as estimation, cost analysis, and building sector market research.
  • Academic Career Gateway: The opportunity to take part in the academic staff of universities and contribute to the scientific literature by deepening knowledge on design theories and applied research.
