Course - Program Learning Outcome Relationship

Program Outcomes
1) The Interior Architecture graduate program aims to gain intellectual depth and awareness in the formal, conceptual, and theoretical expansions of space creation by problematizing the concept of space at the intersection of theory and practice. In this sense, the program aims to gain competence in the production of conceptual projects and academic articles in the context of space, spatiality, spatiotemporality, atmosphere, spatial atmospheric becoming, materiality, urban interior space, shape grammars, the relationality of interior architectural tectonics, and speculative futuristic space research.
2) Based on the competencies gained at the undergraduate level, the student has advanced knowledge and understanding that provides the necessary basis for original studies in the basic fields of architecture, planning and design.
3) The student possesses a critical awareness of the nature of knowledge, its sources, knowledge production, and the issues related to the examination of knowledge at the interfaces between the field of architecture/planning/design and other related areas.
4) In professional postgraduate studies, the student acquires the necessary cognitive and practical skills for professional competence.
5) The acquired knowledge, comprehension, and problem-solving skills are applied in unconventional settings and within broader interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary contexts related to the field.
6) They critically conduct academic research and engage in academic discourse for categorical conclusions.
7) They possess specialized problem-solving skills necessary for developing new knowledge and methods in the relevant research field and integrating knowledge from diverse areas.
8) They independently manage a study that requires expertise in their field.
9) They contribute to the professional knowledge and practice of teams working in academic or applied environments in their field and/or take on responsibilities for reviewing strategic achievements.
10) They possess learning skills that enable them to largely self-direct or independently pursue their education.
11) They systematically and openly share the findings and results obtained in a study, along with the underlying knowledge and rationale, with both expert and non-expert groups.
12) They systematically and critically conduct an academic research, engage in academic discourse critically, and present papers and publish in national and international settings.
13) They generate comprehensive projects related to their field: they produce comprehensive projects that demonstrate their capacity to make design/planning decisions at different scales [with an interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, and transdisciplinary approach] using the knowledge, comprehension, and skills they have acquired.
