The information and program qualifications related to the Landscape Architecture Bachelor of Science Program, under the Department of Landscape Architecture of the Faculty of Architecture, are summarized below.
Information About The Program
The mission of ITU Faculty of Architecture, Landscape Architecture Department is to educate landscape architects, who are innovative researchers and designers, and who can play a leading role in interdisciplinary research and design practices. Our graduates value teamwork and can contribute fully, they follow evolving issues and developments in the landscape architecture profession and play leading roles nationally and internationally.
Our Landscape Architecture students are engaged in their profession’s ethical dimension and share our concern for the efficient use of resources, economic prosperity, and social justice as well as the conservation of the social, historical, and cultural environment.
ITU Faculty of Architecture Landscape Architecture program aims to prepare students for a professional career, built on a vision of landscape planning and design, human and natural sciences, landscape theory and praxis and backed by a well-grounded curriculum. Emphasis is placed on developing students’ problem solving skills during the design process and the application of scientific research methods; i.e. data gathering, analysis and synthesis.
The first two semesters consist of cross-disciplinary foundation courses taught jointly with students pursuing degrees in Architecture and Urban and Regional Planning. The second half of the curriculum, in semesters four to six, is field specific. Since 2010 undergraduate instruction has been entirely taught in English. The undergraduate program has compulsory and elective courses as well as studios. We also organize many field trips both in Turkey and internationally, both in Europe and as far as China. Students have to complete 130,5 subject specific credits during the undergraduate program.
