This course covers Maxwell equations, optical field-matter interaction, principles of lasers and rate equations, optical resonators, plane waves, ray-tracing, and Gaussian beams.

Students study how marketing strategies, tactics, and analytics tie together to create a digital marketing campaign, learning how a market position is selected and bolstered by the appropriate marketing tools to achieve success, critically considering the advantages and disadvantages of different digital marketing choices, and applying a range of tools to create realistic and viable marketing campaigns. 

In this course, students gain a molecular understanding of human health and disease, and how the mode of action of drugs is crucial for the development of new drugs wit: improved potency and reduced side effects. The course also underpins the development of personalized medicine. This is about giving the right treatment to the right people at the right time. It’s also a move away from the "one size fits all" approach to the treatment of patients with a particular condition.

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 provides basic knowledge of neuroanatomy, brain development change, cellular function and communication, and basic brain functions, such as sensory processing, perception, motor function and motivation. Furthermore, important methods to study cognitive functions and mental processes (e.g. response times, accuracy) and to study the activity of the brain and functional anatomy (e.g. lesion and patient data, brain imaging methods) are described.

This course provides an examination of the cultural frameworks and social aspects of gender roles, personhood, human sexuality, and kinship systems, analyzed through ethnographic examples from a diverse range of settings. It equips students with the analytical tools to engage in theoretical debates concerning core concepts such as gender, sexuality, kinship, marriage, and the relationship between nature and culture, as well as exploring how the experiences of gender, sexuality, and kinship vary according to the regimes of politics, law, and materiality in which they are embedded. 

This course covers the academic study of elections and voting behavior and practical applications to the real political world.  

Elections are one of the important mechanisms in a democratic society, serving as a means of connecting citizens to political leadership. Voting is the principal activity that legitimizes the democratic process by individuals.  

This course focuses on two major areas: First, review of key theories about elections and voting behavior, including people’s actual vote choice in recent national-wide elections. Second, practice of election campaign strategy for the upcoming national-wide election for local governments (e.g., Mayor of Seoul) on June 3 based on theoretical and historical understanding of Korean voters’ political attitude and choice behaviors. 

By considering diverse theoretical perspectives on why people vote/don’t vote and why they vote the way they do, and by applying those theoretical views to the real politics, students learn both academic approaches and realistic approaches toward elections and voting behavior.  

This is a translation workshop where students translate and do research on activism. It includes several guests speakers, including a certified court interpreter, a Translation Studies specialist on gender, a sociolinguist, and representatives from the U.S.'s Montclair State University Human Trafficking Center. Students are also introduced to a free language corpus analyzer software.

In this course students have the opportunity to explore this exciting topic that sits at the boundaries of computer science and physics. The course is taught from a computer science perspective, but it also draws on topics from linear algebra, which provides the mathematical apparatus for formalizing quantum systems. Students are introduced to the basic notions of quantum computing, including quantum bits and quantum entanglement and explore quantum algorithms, such as Quantum Search, Quantum Simulation and Quantum Information concepts such as quantum error correction.

This course is designed for students aiming for a career in surgery, or allied healthcare professionals who need to acquire basic surgical techniques. Combining traditional teaching with hands-on practice and simulation, the course delivers comprehensive training on basic surgical skills, as well as introduce fundamental research methodology. Experienced and approachable instructors help participants to learn and practise in a safe and friendly environment. The on-site laparoscopic surgery training facilities provide a unique immersive experience into simulation-based learning, ranging from 3D trainer boxes to the use of virtual reality. To ensure a genuine hands-on experience, animal tissue is used to enhance the participants’ experience and consolidate learning.

In this course students learn about fundamental soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering; analyze soil origin, composition and variables used to classify soils and assess their state; learn basic concepts related to the one-dimensional flow of water through soils; explain the purpose and basic design principles of building foundations and retaining walls; become familiar with soils, rocks, and the use of geological maps and sketches in desk studies; appreciate the importance of developing a detailed understanding of ground conditions in successful civil engineering; and recognize major geotechnical hazards, plan appropriate site investigations, and develop safe and successful geotechnical design.
