Course Objectives	The aim of the course is to ensure that PhD students with various design and/or disciplinary backgrounds develop a common and integrated design understanding through philosophy, culture, history, theory and contemporary discourse, and also by considering the interactions between arts and science fields.
Learning Outcomes	The students who succeeded in this course; develop their own creative, theoretical and practical abilities for developing a critical and interdisciplinary insight into design extend their design knowledge and understanding within an interdisiplinary approach familiarize themselves with a wide range of interdisipjinary research analyse and discuss the history, theory, philosophy and discourse of different design disciplines together at an advanced level form and work in multi-disciplinary design teams produce a high level academic outcome (paper, project etc.) that synthesizes the knowledge acquired from the course
Course Description	This course is a research-based course that can be studied either on a theoretical route and/or theory-practice route. In the context of the course, the concepts related to the different areas of design will be discussed through an integrated approach by the theoretical framework and the developments from a historical perspective. Together with the development of the skills and understanding of a multi facet design approach, students are expected to develop an understanding and discuss the importance of inter/multidisciplinary teamwork and have a common knowledge and language for the formation of these design teams as the main objectives of the course.
