Abstract
The aim of the study was to find out style preferences of undergraduate architecture students in Nicosia. The primary source data for study were the interviews with architecture students. A total number of 50 undergraduate students from five different countries were chosen for the interviews. A standard questionnaire is used to collect data from the students. During the surveys the students were asked about their nationalities in order to analyse if they had an effect from their nationality on their preferences of architectural style. Also their heritage conservation knowledge and awareness have been evaluated. With this research the style preferences of architectural students were investigated, in addition the importance of cultural heritage conservation has been underlined. In this respect, it has emphasised that it is very important to include heritage conservation within the architectural education framework.
