Importance is given to sharing this knowledge with the society through different means during thesisresearch and after. Development of contributions to interaction and cooperation  of the University with the field of practice is also desired.

Mission: To provide a graduate level academic study and research milieu in specified fields of specialization in architecture, where competences expected from contemporary researchers and academicians are gained, and the scientific knowledge, obtained through original and internationally qualified research, is shared with the society. 

Vision: To be recognized as a qualified program in architectural graduate education and research in Turkey.
