Department of Interior Architecture aims to widen the scope of the Master of Interior Architecture program (M.Int.Arch.) through introducing new alternative routes to graduate students with varying interests or professional perspectives. In line with many reputable architectural schools abroad, Department of Interior Architecture offers a new professional degree opportunity, namely the Master of Interior Architecture (M.Arch). The program is tailored to accommodate individual interests and methodologies to improve the professional skills of students on the basis of advanced interior architectural design projects. The Master of Interior Architecture is a one/one and half professional degree program without thesis for those who wish to deepen their design abilities and expand their knowledge of interior design theory, technology, and environmental systems, as well as professional issues in the discipline of interior architecture.
The program has a strong interest in the methods of inquiry, development and testing of knowledge, and the building and application of theory as it pertains to the built environment. It allows students to specialize in areas in which they wish to obtain particular abilities.
The mission of the Interior Architecture Graduate program is to create a high-quality research environment that allows students to specialize in different areas of interior architecture. The program prepares students for their professional life in a multi-disciplinary environment by equipping them with applications related to interior architecture and advanced theoretical research and education. The aim of all the programs offered by the department is to bring students to the level of ability to question or connect theory and practice, to define or describe alternative issues related to interior architecture, and to produce alternative solutions.
Candidates for admission to the M.Int.Arch. Program should have a B. Int.Arch. degree in interior architecture. The graduates of the program obtain the title of a registered / practicing architect.
The candidates for admission to the Master Program in Interior Architecture are expected to complete at least a four years bachelor's degree either from interior architecture, architecture, industrial design, landscape architecture or urban design programs. Applicants who hold bachelor's degree other than interior architecture or above listed related disciplines can get Conditional Acceptance where they are expected to take deficiency courses, recommended by the graduate committee of Interior Architecture Department.
In addition to the documents specified in the Application Form for Graduate Studies and Research, the Department of Interior Architecture also requires:

| INAR 591 | Interior Architecture Studio – I Within the scope of Interior Architecture Studio I, the main aim is to bring the design aptitude of the students further. In the context of the conceptual based projects that are going to be handled through multidisciplinary approaches, subjects like theories and techniques of design, interior spatial organization, process of interior architectural design (research, analysis, synthesis, and), legitimate process, and the phases of interior architectural applications will be addressed. | 6 | 4 | - |
| INAR 561 | Interior Space Design Theories and Techniques Issues addressed in the course include: Definitions of design, evolution of design, design process, and design theories, design methods and techniques, relationships between designing, learning, perceving and creating, models and visualisation, and visualisation tools, design and styles, design, creativity, ınnovation and relationships to each other; and new tendencies of design in the millenium. | 3 | 3 | - |
| INAR 563 | Architectural Space Organization The main target of this course is to understand, interpret and evaluate the architectural space and its organization; where space organization will be emphasized. Dimensions in the understanding, interpretation and evaluation of space organization are handled in different dimensions such as environmental, political, social, cultural and behavioral dimensions of the objective and subjective manner | 3 | 3 | - |
| INAR 565 | Interior Design Philosophy This course is thought to be a contribution to the study of Philosophy of Design. In it, a critical overview is taken of the structure and dynamics of design theory. This overview leads to a method to assist with the critical analysis of design theories and their associated concepts. If 'design theory' is considered as an artefact to be designed, this course's role is in the part of the design process often called 'problem analysis'. Supporting what is presented in this course is an assumption that the act of designing by human agents is central to the academic study of design. This theoretical standpoint, that what is described as design, always implicates humans, together with the understanding that any theory, theorising or theory interpretation has meaning only in a human context, is the basis for the analysis of the issues addressed in the course. | 3 | 3 | - |
| INAR 592 | Interior Architecture Studio – II In the context of the Interior Architecture Studio II course, production of contemporary designs with the awareness and interpretation of contemporary technological developments is expected. With this perspective, information-and-communication technology-based application projects attaching importance to environmental ethics, and enhancing function-space-material-furnishing unity will be developed. Besides, seminars intended for the preparation of the term project as a continuing part of this studio will be planned. | 6 | 4 | 4 |
| INAR 542 | Contemporary Construction Techniques and Materials In the past, the architectural options were often limited to local materials and traditional methods of working. But over recent decades the globalisation of trade plus global communications and transport logistics networks have changed the situation drastically. For the architects and interior designers, the search for the “perfect" materials has become very important subject. Discovery of the new technologies and transfer of existing material to other contexts are two principles for the research on innovative materials. Each innovative materials has assets and disadvantages. The process of selecting the right interior materials should cover the aspects of health and safety codes, economic criteria, environmental criteria, installation information, industry standards and regulations. The aim of this course is to help the interior designers select the suitable innovative materials and installation techniques in terms of the factors mentioned above. | 3 | 3 | - |
