This course enables the class to recognize and assume each person's responsibility for the generalized environmental crisis and its impact on climate change. Furthermore, the class fosters an understanding of one's agency on four dimensions: a) as a person, b) as a citizen, c) as a professional and d) as a consumer, so that they can become and active participant in its solution.

Human Rights are often assumed to have a precise 20th-century origin in the 1948 Universal Declaration or in the succeeding decades of increasing activism. However, the history of human rights discourse and its practical impact emerged as only the latest stage of a sequence of intellectual debates and real-life struggles in specific historical settings over political, religious, economic rights, broadly defined. Different cultural milieus have produced a variety of contexts for working out tensions between claims by individuals or minorities for autonomy on the one hand and the rival demands of collective obligation and identity on the other. This course seeks to explore an (inevitably selective) range of these historical contexts in order to demonstrate the continuity of perennial themes of conflict between the claims of individual actors and corporate institutions, whether states, churches, empires or other institutions, while also showing how and when key changes take place in the recognition of rights of political action, conscience, property ownership, gender identity, and workers’ rights etc. 

Through theoretical studies and practical exercises, the course conveys knowledge about the structure and function of the brain and key areas of modern cognitive neuroscience, such as attention, memory, language, and cognitive control, as well as emotions and social interaction. The understanding of normal function is the primary focus of the course, but clinical examples are also used as they provide substantial illustrations of normal functioning. Furthermore, the course provides knowledge about relevant research methods within the area, and major emphasis is placed on the interdisciplinary nature of the subject. This module has two parallel components, the first theorical and the second laboratory.  In the theory section, the focus is on higher cognitive functions, such as, attention and cognitive control, memory, language, social interaction, problem-solving, and thinking and decision-making. Furthermore, the module communicates knowledge about the neurocognitive basis of emotion and how cognitive function is influenced by emotion. The module also introduces different types of brain damages and psychoorganic syndrome. In the laboratory, train important skills for conduction of empirical studies in cognitive neuroscience, including reporting of the results in accordance with the international norms for publication in the psychology.

This course examines how marketing campaigns are designed, conceptualized and executed digitally. Particular attention is given to techniques unique to digital technologies and the networked nature of social media platforms. Their applications to marketing strategy specifically to do with brand building, target audiences, public relations and communications are covered with an aim to equip students to understand the digital consumer journey.

This course familiarize students with intermediate topics in logic. It focuses on concepts and theories that are useful for a deeper understanding and critical analysis of claims and arguments in contemporary philosophical research and in the social and natural sciences.

This course introduces students to psychological theories of prejudice, discrimination, and intergroup relations, with a strong emphasis on applying these theories to multi-ethnic and racial contexts in various parts of the world (e.g., the UK, US, Turkey). Students consider key issues in the study of intergroup relations in reference to perceptions and experiences of majority and minority group members as well as classic and contemporary theory and research on prejudice and intergroup relations. The applications of such theory and research to pressing social issues (e.g., racism, sexism, ageism) are also discussed.

In this course, students employ the Dirac notation and algebraic methods (for example, spin and the harmonic oscillator), are introduced to basic approximation methods, such as perturbation theory and WKB, and look at scattering theory. 

This course explores the intellectual, religious, and political transformations that reshaped England during the Reformation and laid the foundations of the modern Church of England. It examines how theological debates, assertions of royal authority, popular belief, and international pressures converged to sever England’s ties with Rome and redefine the relationship between church, state, and society. In addition, the course situates these developments within the broader evolution of knowledge, tracing how the upheavals of the Reformation intersected with the emerging currents of the Scientific Revolution. It analyzes how shifting methods of inquiry, changing attitudes toward authority and evidence, and new conceptions of truth transformed both religious and scientific thought. By integrating the study of religious reform with the history of knowledge and scientific advancement, the course highlights how early modern England became a critical site for rethinking the nature of belief, authority, and the production of knowledge in the modern world.

This general survey course is intended to introduce primarily international students to contemporary South Korean history, covering the period roughly from 1945 to the 1990s. Participation in this class does not require knowledge of modern or contemporary Korean history, nor fluency in the Korean language. After a brief overview of Korea‘s colonial past in order to contextualise post-1945 developments, the cours focuses on major political, social, economic, and ideological transformations from liberation to the end of the Cold War era.  

Key topics include the liberation and U.S. occupation period, the Korean War, authoritarian military regimes, and democratic movements. While the course is conducted entirely in English, including all required reading materials, it aims to introduce students to central concepts, historical figures, and key issues in South Korean history, thereby providing a foundation for more advanced study. 

The course covers Number theory including the fundamental theorem of arithmetic, and modular arithmetic; Group definition, basic examples of groups, subgroups, normal subgroups, factor groups, isomorphisms and homomorphisms, Lagrange's theorem, permutation groups, symmetric and alternating groups, finitely generated Abelian groups; Ring definition, basic examples of rings, isomorphisms and homomorphisms, ideals, factor rings, polynomial rings, factorization of polynomials as products of irreducible polynomials; and Field characteristic, simple field extensions, and finite fields. For admission to the course, English 6 is required and at least 60 credits in Natural Science or Engineering studies, of which at least 30 credits in mathematics, including the courses MATA32 Algebra and Vector Geometry, 7.5 credits and MATB32 Linear algebra, 7.5 credits or equivalent courses.
