Computer Science

Computational Modelling for All

Course Description:

This course is a study of the basic tools required to examine processes that occur in the real world and write code to simulate that occurrence. We will be using the processing programming environment to create visual models that provide us with a ‘laboratory’ where we can conduct experiments which would be impossible or too expensive to do in real life. We also learn how the basis of data analytics, and how to share data using standard popular notations and produce effective visualisations of data.

Introduction to Artificial Intelligence

Course Description:

The course will be an exploration of the basic methodologies for the design of artificial agents in complex environments. The course will first start with classical AI approaches where these agents are goal-oriented and take decisions in a potentially unknown environment. Then it will move on to more sophisticated models allowing agents to have a representation of the other agents, their potential decisions and their goal, a representation about the representations of other agents, and so forth. This induces complex patterns of strategic reasoning, both in competitive and cooperative interactions, which need to be formally modelled and analysed. These agent-based systems are built upon three important methodologies: Logic, because of the focus on reasoning, Game-Theory, because of the focus on strategies, and Algorithms, because of the focus on artificial agents.

Statistics & Data Science

Data Science: Foundations of Data Analytics

Course Description:

Data Science is concerned with how to gain knowledge from the vast volumes of data generated daily in modern life, from social networks to scientific research and finance, and proposes sophisticated computing techniques for processing this deluge of information. This courses addresses fundamental aspects of Data Science, e.g. analytical models to represent and understand the data, efficient algorithms to manipulate and extract relevant knowledge. In particular, students study the design, development and analysis of software and hardware used to solve problems in a variety of business, scientific and social contexts. During this course, students will study techniques for how to go from raw data to a deeper understanding of the patterns and structures within the data, to support making predictions and decision making. Students would be expected to have some basic knowledge of linear algebra and calculus.

Economics

Introduction to Economics

Course Description:

The course will provide you with a sound knowledge of and an ability to apply the key principles of economics to every day events. Within this course, we will look at both microeconomics and macroeconomics: that is, the study of individuals, consumers and firms, as well as looking at the wider economy and concepts such as economic growth, unemployment and the financial crises. The course will begin by exploring the fundamental economic question. We live in a world with scarce resources, including oil, money, time, energy and goods and services. However, we have unlimited wants. Therefore, we consider how these scarce resources are allocated and in doing so, we will explore the importance of choice. The course will then develop many fundamental concepts, ideas and models that economists use to study all the questions that result from this fundamental economic problem.

Introduction to Psychology

Course Description:

Using traditional and interactive teaching methods, this course will address the fundamental questions of how humans develop and function. It will introduce you to the analytical and practical approaches that psychological, behavioural and neuroscientists use to investigate behaviour in both adults and children. It will look at the ways in which humans learn to interact with their environment and with each other. It will also cover the socio-emotional and cognitive mechanisms which people use to function in a social world. The course will also look at issues of childhood and development, including an exploration of such areas as cognition, socialization, and morality and pro/antisocial behaviour. The course will culminate with a focus on individual aspects of human behaviour, both via the classic vehicle of personality theory and the more recent exploration of human happiness.

Philosophy Reading Module

Course Description:

This module offers students an opportunity for in-depth study of an important modern or contemporary philosopher. The central text for the class this year is Hannah Arendt’s Eichmann in Jerusalem (1963/1965). This is a classic. Even though this book was published more than 50 years ago, you will find that it is still very relevant today (even though this statement is fiercely debated). The book addresses a number of moral, political and philosophical issues. It asks questions about responsibility and about evil, it questions what it is to judge and who can judge, what it is to witness, but it is also a defence of the power of imagination and of storytelling and it wonders what it means to share the world with very different others.

Such debates will include the “decline thesis”; the influence of nationalism on (re)constructions of the Ottoman past; the theory that Islamic states are traditionally despotic, static, and fundamentally and qualitatively different to European states; and the idea that the Ottomans were inward looking and obscurantist. Primary sources will be extensively used in the module and subjected to critical analysis. Moreover, the impact that audience, function and the wider context against which a text was produced and consumed has on the potential meanings will be examined: in terms of primary sources, secondary histories of the Ottoman Empire and the students’ and lecturer’s own interpretations.

Everyone has a gender. It might be one you’re born with, it might tally with your sex, it might be disputed. But whether it’s the gender you’re given at birth, the gender you identify with, or the gender you challenge, there is always gender. So why is gender normally associated with women? Why is there a “fem” in feminism? And what does this have to do with philosophy? These are questions we’ll consider in this module, alongside questions about history, psychology, politics, and the role of theory. Within this will be deconstruction of the creation of philosophy, including narratives of its history. We’ll start by asking why feminism is sometimes called the F-word, and end by asking where we go next.
