Program Outcomes PO-1 To gain knowledge and understand the socio-economical and spatial components and processes which are both the subjects and the outcomes of an urban design project. 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 Ability to make research, to analyse and to criticise in the area of academical knowledge and design processes, using the appropriate techniques, producing original results. PO-6 To gain competency on conducting an indivudial research or project on urban design. PO-7 To gain competency on working as a group member and to work out the complicated processes that will occur during the urban design. PO-8 To gain competency to transfer the knowledge gained using a foreign language, both in verbal and visual way, via contemporary computer programmes and techniques. PO-9 To gain competancy to produce an original academical/scientific research, to present and to discuss in a dialectical framework. PO-10 To gain competency on strategical decision making as a component of the urban design project and to produce original solutions considering ethical values.
