This course provides the essential skills and strategies required to communicate effectively in the business world. It examines the established conventions for communication by exploring the fundamentals of business writing, encompassing memoranda, emails, and business letters. In addition to written communication, the course explores oral presentations in diverse professional contexts and settings.

This theoretical course develops knowledge and understanding of the roles and impacts of media in society, including elements of media, issues of power and control, representation of social groups and cultures, and communication theories.

This course covers basic mathematical logic such as propositional logic and first order (predicate) logic by studying the notions of truth, satisfaction, model, proof and Turing machine. Goedel's completeness theorem is presented and his incompleteness theorems are introduced. The course studies the completeness theorem for the first-order logic using Henkin's construction method. As a consequence compactness theorem is presented and Lowenheim-Skolem theorem as an application is studied. Turing machine, the theoretical background of the contemporary digital computer design, is introduced and compared with Goedel’s incompleteness theorems.

This course offers a study of interactive ecosystems. Topics include: human-centered informatics; paradigms, styles, and principles of interaction; design approaches; designing and prototyping of interactive ecosystems; evaluation.

This course examines the principles of ecology, including adaptation to the environment, intra- and inter-specific interactions, community and ecosystem dynamics, and biogeography.

This course examines recent developments in the theory and practice of international security from a critical perspective. It provides an overview of the main concepts, theories, methodological approaches, and empirical objects in the field. 

This course provides a comprehensive understanding of sub-cellular structures, functions and interactions in unicellular and multi-cellular systems. Emphasis is on cellular functions. Topics include structures and functions of organelles, organelle biogenesis (including organelle inheritance and import of proteins into organelles), intracellular protein trafficking, the cytoskeleton, and cell movements. In addition, students will be introduced to the current concepts of intercellular and intracellular signalling, molecular basis of cell proliferation and apoptosis.
