Program Outcomes
PO-1To 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-2To 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-3Ability 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-4Ability to direct socio-economical and spatial components and processes in the urban design process.
PO-5Ability 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-6To gain competency on conducting an indivudial research or project on urban design.
PO-7To gain competency on working as a group member and to work out the complicated processes that will occur during the urban design.
PO-8To gain competency to transfer the knowledge gained using a foreign language, both in verbal and visual way, via contemporary computer programmes and techniques.
PO-9To gain competancy to produce an original academical/scientific research, to present and to discuss in a dialectical framework.
PO-10To gain competency on strategical decision making as a component of the urban design project and to produce original solutions considering ethical values.
