Interior Architecture Department

The Department of Interior Architecture, established at our university in 2019, aims to train interior architects who possess the knowledge and skills required by the modern world, are professionally competent, have well-developed analytical thinking and problem-solving abilities, and are constructive, inquisitive, enterprising and productive. Throughout their studies, interior design students are encouraged to recognise that the design process is not only an individual endeavour but also a collaborative one. The department’s primary objective is for graduates to enter the professional world as individuals who are environmentally conscious, aware of their cultural values and committed to preserving them, respectful of their profession, and passionate about design.

The department, which will operate under the umbrella of Konya Food and Agriculture University, will ensure integration across all faculties and departments through a food and agriculture-focused education system, in addition to general interior architecture education.
