Program Overview

Interior Design is a field concerned with people and their interior and exterior environments and the continuous developments within them, aiming to create a functional and aesthetic environment that meets individual needs and enriches human potential for a better life. The Department was established by decision of the Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research No. (936) of 2021.

Across eight semesters, students follow a progressive path: from theoretical and technical foundations in the first stage, through the principles of interior design and residential/commercial design, to more specialized tracks (touristic, service, restoration and adaptive reuse) and a graduation project that showcases a complete interior design work.
