Our undergraduate program brings together the disciplines of planning, architecture, urban design and urban conservation. Our program draws extensively on the wealth of urban issues and projects which cities in Turkey provide, whilst our students benefit from the involvement of scholars in architecture, urban design and urban conservation in our teaching and learning environments. Our program applies a range of teaching styles and methods, including individual, group and project-based workshops, seminars, lectures, site visits and field trips.

Program Objectives
