Bursa University Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, which was established in 1976, was renamed Uludağ University Faculty of Engineering with a new structure in 1982, and with the decision to open the Department of Architecture in 1993, the name of the Faculty was changed to Uludağ University Faculty of Engineering-Architecture. As of the 2011-2012 academic year, there are eight departments within the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture. These; Departments of Architecture, Mechanical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Textile Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Civil Engineering.
In the Department of Architecture, education began to be provided at the undergraduate level in the 1994-95 academic year, at the master´s level in the 2000-2001 academic year, and at the doctoral level in the second half of the 2005-2006 academic year. Educational studies continue as the Faculty of Architecture in 2013. As a result of the 2024-2025 education program, a total of 649 undergraduate, 75 graduate and 59 doctoral students are studying in the Department.

Architecture program is subjected to 90-120 ECTS credits in higher education. The Master´s Degree in Architecture program is awarded to the graduates who have seuccesfully completed all courses in the curriculum

Second Cycle

Specific Admission Requirements for M.Arch Degree: -Candidates must have a Bachelor´s Degree in a field related to architecture -Are required to take an exam called ALES (Academic Personnel and Graduate Education Exam), which is also administered by ÖSYM, and submit this score with their application. -Must have the required level of English, German, French, Italian, Russian or Arabic languages by passing one of the examinations like UDS, KPDS, TOEFL or equivalents accepted by Higher Education Council -Must be successful in the written exam or interview related to the field of architecture.
