Course Outcomes		Grasping interdisciplinary interaction related to one’s area and developing and intensifying the current and high knowledge in that area based upon the competency in graduate level (knowledge). By means of ability to use theoretical and practical information related to one’s area, to combine and interpret them with information from different disciplines producing new information and solving the faced problems by related searching methods (skill). By means of the ability to critically analyze knowledge, skills and also a study related to one’s area that requires expertise on that area, directing and continuing independently, developing new strategies for the problems that are not foreseen and taking the responsibilities together with fulfilling the leader role, the ability to produce solutions for that problems (competence to work independently, competence to take responsibility, competence to learning). By means of the ability to promote current development and studies by supporting with qualitative and quantitative data and to use computer software together with information and communication technologies with a required level, critical analyzing, developing and altering, if required, social relationships and the norms directing these relationships, establishing written oral and visual communication with groups within one’s or different fields (communication and social competency). Proficiency in a foreign language –at least European Language Portfolio B2 Level- and establishing written, oral and visual communication with that language for presenting one’s studies in the international environment (communication and social competency). By means of the ability to inspect the steps like gathering, interpreting, implementing and announcing related data with the one’s area by overseeing scientific, cultural and ethical norms, teaching these norms, developing strategy, policy and action plans in related subjects and evaluating the obtained results by making the use of quality processes, using the gathered information and solving problems and/or implementation skills in the interdisciplinary strategies (area specific competency).
