About Department

The doctoral study program in architecture aims to develop professionals capable of independently conducting original scientific research. By acquiring advanced theoretical and applied knowledge, students will be equipped to perform complex architectural, spatial, material, and process analyses and to develop proposals for effectively solving spatial, architectural, construction, and material-related problems—whether at the level of spatial and urban development as a whole or at the level of individual architectural and construction units and elements. With their developed autonomous research capacities, doctoral candidates will contribute to building their future careers in science, the business sector, government institutions, public enterprises, and academic institutions.
