In this study, it is aimed to determine the strategies that Karadeniz Technical University Faculty of Architecture should follow within the scope of education, training, institutional structure, academic staff and physical - technical infrastructure main factors. In the study, strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats of KTU / Faculty of Architecture were determined by SWOT analysis. The TOWS matrix was created using the data obtained by SWOT analysis. The eighteen-person sample group of Faculty Members of Architecture was determined in order to select the strategies determined through this matrix. This group was asked to answer a questionnaire that allows them to quantitatively compare the main factors of education, institutional structure, academic staff and physical - technical infrastructure, and the sub-factors that make up these factors, according to their degree of importance. The questionnaires answered by faculty members / staff were evaluated using the Fuzzy Set technique linked to the Analytical Hierarchy Process. As a result of the study, the planned development strategy of the education program is determined as the most suitable strategy according to the importance level of 0,297, increasing the national and international research and projects is the second priority, the expansion of the academic staff is the third, and the elimination of all the deficiencies in the physical environment is the fourth priority. Thanks to the strategies and significance levels determined at the end of the study, the steps to be taken for the future have been identified. Strategic planning has a crucial role to be able to walk with more confident steps to the future and to ensure that the institution improves according to its mission and vision. We realized a pilot study that demonstrates the importance of strategic planning. It is crucial that such strategic planning studies are carried out in all the architectural faculties in Turkey, and the differences among universities are identified and analysed. Thus, the differences among the institutions providing the same education can be determined to eliminate the deficiencies and the imbalances among the institutions can be removed.
