Dear Students,
Welcome to the Faculty of Architecture, Design and Fine Arts at Cappadocia University. Our faculty encompasses a wide range of creative disciplines, including City and Regional Planning, Graphic Design, Interior Architecture and Environmental Design. This multidisciplinary structure aims not only to provide you with technical knowledge in your fields, but also to equip you with contemporary skills, aesthetic sensitivity, cultural awareness, critical thinking, and the ability to develop creative ideas. In today’s world, it is not enough to be competent in a single area; we also value your ability to stand out as enlightened, original, sensitive, and responsible individuals.
Studying in Cappadocia, a region unique in its historical, cultural, and natural richness, will provide you with a different perspective. The deep cultural heritage of this ancient geography will inspire you and help you develop a mindset that connects the local to the universal. As you engage in design and artistic production, you will acquire the ability to combine tradition with modernity.
At the Faculty of Architecture, Design and Fine Arts of Cappadocia University, alongside our well-equipped classrooms, our academic staff, workshops, studios, exhibition spaces, academic events, and practice-based projects invite you to a learning process based on experience and engagement. With our student-centered approach, we attach great importance to providing an educational environment that values individual differences, supports creative potential, and allows each student to find their own path according to their interests and abilities.
Today, fields such as urbanism, design, architecture, and art are among the most powerful tools of social transformation. Concepts such as sustainability, artificial intelligence, digitalization, urbanization, cultural diversity, inclusivity, and the climate crisis now shape the agenda of these disciplines. For this reason, we constantly update our programs in line with the needs of the era and aim to educate individuals who will design the future.
The doors of our faculty are always open—for learning, creating, debating, questioning, and transforming. We see you not only as students but as active members of this community—partners who learn and produce together. Our academic and administrative staff are always ready to stand by you, support you, and guide you at every step.
As the Faculty of Architecture, Design and Fine Arts at Cappadocia University, we are delighted to accompany you at every stage of your journey. We look forward to building a more beautiful, meaningful, and creative future together.
