Eastern Mediterranean University (EMU) Faculty of Architecture, Department of Interior Architecture has been offering postgraduate programs with and without a thesis since the fall term of the 2010-2011 Academic Year.

Joining this program requires an undergraduate degree in Interior Architecture, Industrial Design, Architecture, Landscape Architecture or Urban Design. The Interior Architecture Postgraduate Program without thesis (M. Int. Arch.) is aimed towards those interested in improving their design capabilities and learning a great deal about topics relating to the profession such as contemporary architectural theories, technology and the environment. Joining this program requires an undergraduate degree in Interior Architecture, Industrial Design or Architecture.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Kagan Gunce, coordinator of EMU Interior Architecture Department Postgraduate Program (with and without a thesis), stated that their goal is to provide students with an interdisciplinary environment where they can connect theory with practice and identify problems related to interior architecture in order to reach a level where they can create alternative solutions.

The process of completing a thesis involves examining current literature relating to the chosen topic, coming up with a research question and trying to answer it by using different research methods. This process is undertaken with the supervision of academic staff specialising in different disciplines. Currently, 45 theses have been completed as part of The Interior Architecture Postgraduate Program (M. Sc. Int. Arch.)
