This course provides a basic introduction to mathematical theory and methods in biology, with enough scope to enable the student to handle biologically phrased problems. Topics covered include population models with discrete or continuous time, pharmacokinetics and -dynamics, qualitative analysis of systems of differential equations, modelling of the spread of infectious diseases, bifurcations, limit cycles, and excitable media with applications to, e.g., predator-prey models, spatial methods with application to diffusion, and nerve conduction.

This course provides knowledge and experience in project form under strict deadlines. The students design and manufacture a complete car concept in the form of a formula car, where the entire process from initiation, feasibility study, planning, implementation and closure is treated. This course deals with the implementation and closure of inherited problems from Formula Student 1 - Initiation, Pre-Study and Design. In the course, students shoulder all the roles of a project group and through the course gain skills in applying knowledge from previous courses such as mechanics, electrical engineering, programming, solid mechanics, construction technology, manufacturing methods, and vehicle technology.  Admission requirements include completion of a minimum of 100 credits within relevant programs and MVKP05 Formula Student 1 - Initiation, Pre-study and Design.

This lecture series provides an introductory, selective, and exemplary overview of English literary history from the Middle Ages to the present. Selected English literature texts from Chaucer to Kureishi (and others) are presented in their contexts and interpreted in their specific aesthetics and as representatives of the respective epoch.

Urban economics is concerned with the spatial form of cities and the division of national economic activity into cities, both at a point in time and over time.  Three fundamental questions are: Why are economic activities within a country so unequally distributed across space? Why do cities (and agglomerations of firms and workers) emerge and in what locations? How and why are economic activities within cities unequally distributed in general and between the city center and the suburbs?

This course examines network and web security broadly from the network to the application layer. The emphasis of the course is on the underlying principles and techniques, with examples of how they are applied in practice. Students study the themes and challenges of network and web security, and the current state of the art. They develop a critical approach to the analysis of network security and web application security, and learn to bring this approach to bear on future decisions regarding security.

The course examines the big questions about social welfare’s current developments and future prospects. The "state" in this case implies the economic conditions and the political and institutional environments in which welfare operates. It explores the relevance of key theoretical contributions to the understanding of welfare origins, trajectories, and futures. It examines the contributions of Marxism, Varieties of Capitalism, Social Reproduction Theory, and The New Political Economy of Welfare, with a particular focus on the contributions of Polanyi, Foucault, Thelen, and Schmidt. In looking at the current period it exams welfare in crisis and welfare retrenchment and resilience and considers recent debates about labor market change, social differentiation, and dualism. The institutional environment is examined in the decommodification and recommodification of welfare and a review of international experience explores the varieties of liberalization.

This course explores the multiple histories of humanitarianism and their resonances with current humanitarian discourses and practices. It will introduce students to the complex past of humanitarian aid in its European and non-European forms, from charities to international non-governmental organisations. Students will reflect on the usefulness of history for the humanitarian sector.

This course is designed for students who want to extend their knowledge of the range and diversity of English spoken in the world today. Students analyze and produce spoken language in different settings and genres by taking part in structured activities that examine the importance of audience, purpose and various communicative strategies. The examination of both global and local linguistic phenomena provides a context for participants to discuss diverse socio-cultural values and practices with others. Students have the opportunity to participate in practical workshops in which they are involved in activities such as discussions, role-plays and presentations. Assessment tasks include the research, recording and production of a collaborative video report and the live presentation of the research project in a seminar context. These tasks enable students to develop skills that support their ability to network effectively by enhancing their communication and interpersonal skills through designing and presenting group-generated project work in different media. There is also scope for community engagement and the integration of both local and international perspectives in the design and execution of the students' project work. 

The course focuses on the Scandinavian colonial expansion from 1600 to the early 20th century. Based on a number of case studies (e.g. resource colonialism in Sápmi and Greenland, plantations in the Danish West Indies, trade and consumption of colonial products), the course examines colonial discourses and practice and notice relationships between colonialism and resources/environment, economics, power, resistance and science and colonial inheritance. The course also explores the different cultural processes, such as creolisation, othering and ambivalence that takes place in colonial environments and manifests itself in material culture. The course introduces theoretical procedures for historical-archaeological studies of colonialism and presents different sources, methods and perspectives and central research questions.

This course provides a step-by-step approach to tackle any personal, professional, or world issue imaginable. Learn techniques to clearly define problems, research solutions, weigh options, and implement plans. Gain the skills to transition from panic to possibility. This course takes an interactive, hands-on approach to building problem-solving skills. Through case studies, team projects, and simulations, students learn and practice key frameworks including defining problems, researching context and analyzing root causes, brainstorming creative solutions, evaluating options, planning implementation, and communicating and collaborating. The course provides abundant opportunities to apply problem-solving techniques to real-world issues. Students develop critical thinking, teamwork, communication, and creativity skills to become decisive, strategic problem solvers.
