Faculty of Architecture

I'm Irem Yarım. I am a freshman at the Faculty of Architecture at Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University. Our department is located in Esenboğa Campus. The aim of our department is raising ones equipped with necessary information from the aesthetic and technical aspects and enable them to build constructions using this information. There are technical drawings, studio classes, architecture history, construction information, design on computer courses in our department. Besides we have courses enabling us to learn information about equipment, construction, and building materials. Now, there are 4 workshops in our department and we use them actively. We use different workshops in specific courses; these are large and multifunctional rooms. We do models and drawings in these workshops; critics and panels are held in these rooms. We also have computer labs. We do three-dimension drawings in these labs. The internship is compulsory in our department; we have 2 internships as construction site and office. We can do these internships in different foundations and institutions. We also have a final project in our department. We can work in the architecture offices, various constructions and every construction that may necessitate architecture after we graduate. The biggest reason for why I preferred this department is the fact that I've wanted to be in this job since long ago and that I think I would feel myself happy and peaceful with this job. I thought that since I already have drawing skills., I had better be in this job so as to develop it. One of the most important reasons why I chose Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University is its academic staff. While studying in the department I have benefitted from the location of the school the most. Because while doing models and drawings the basic need of us is the comfortable and peaceful environment and we can easily have this environment in our studios; I have made use of our studios the most. My first goal after graduation is to continue my academic life at my university and be an academician. My advice for the students who will prefer our department and university is that here there is really strong national and international academician staff; if you want to be a good architecture here should be your first choice. I wish a successful period for the students who are to come to our department and university.
