Architecture Doctorate Program, which has a research-oriented education approach based on the expertise of the faculty, was opened in 2012. The program is open to applications from graduates of different disciplines (architecture, urban design, urban and regional planning, industrial product design, interior architecture, landscape design, etc.) who want to be trained as researchers or academics.

Doctorate Program is carried out with a dynamic, productive and qualified academic staff consisting of architects who are experts in their fields. In our program, interdisciplinary studies in different fields of architecture, technological developments, and research that takes into account today's and tomorrow's issues are considered important and encouraged.

Program aims to provide skills that focus on defining effective, original, current and future research problems and topics, scientific reasoning, correct and effective use of research methods and technology for qualified research and academic studies. It is important to present the research conducted during the doctorate process in qualified congresses, symposiums, etc. and to publish them in qualified publications.

Mission: To provide a postgraduate academic study and research environment where the competencies expected from contemporary researchers and academics in the specified areas of expertise in architecture are acquired and the scientific knowledge obtained through original international research is shared with the society.

Vision: To be a qualified program that focuses on the present and the future in its field, in national and international postgraduate education and research.
