The aim of the course is to bring in skills and competency to the student on evaluating the research subject with their experience and knowledge that they gain during their entire graduate degree education. The subject of the research will be determined by both the student and the instructor and will also include theoreticel data or practices of other disciplines such as art, history, sociology, psychology, engineering and basic sciences. The research will be organized as a report and/or a project regarding these data.

PO-2
To gain knowledge and critical awareness about the relations in between urban design and the other disciplines like architecture, urban planning, economy and sociology; and the opportunuties and threats that will arise by these relations.
PO-3
Ability to realize an urban design project or a research on urban design in a multidisciplinary process, using both the theoretical and practical knowledge infrastructure, developing new methods and techniques.
PO-4
Ability to direct socio-economical and spatial components and processes in the urban design process.
PO-5
