This course introduces the foundations of international human rights law. It covers ongoing debates and key substantive issues, as well as the institutional framework for the protection of human rights, while critically examining international human rights instruments. The course equips students with conceptual, practical and analytical tools necessary for effective human rights research to prepare for advanced study in the field through more specialized topics, including but not limited to international criminal law, transitional justice, and international refugee law.

This course examines the interplay between criminology and public policy. As well as providing an overview of factors shaping policy in Australia and other countries, it reviews challenges associated with making criminological, sociological, and philosophical theory relevant in practical contexts. It explores the implications, challenges and opportunities for policy change and considers the systems and processes that determine what is considered deserving of state intervention as either public policy or criminalization. Emphasis is placed on critically exploring contemporary public policy concerns such as those related to climate change, abolition, immigration, social security and policing.

This course visualizes the future of business by analyzing various global megatrends, thus anticipating possible risks and identifying opportunities in the business world.

This course introduces the calculation methods and experience of manufacturing options used by engineers to design electromagnetic devices such as transformers, actuators, and electric machines. The aim of the design of an electromagnetic device is the desired function, integration, and rational manufacturing method, and thus this course develops the related and relevant skills and experience. The course provides theoretical knowledge though lectures, and the acquisition of modelling skills and experience through assignments and course projects. Assumed prior knowledge: EIEF15 Electrical Engineering (EE), ETE055, EITF85 Electromagnetic Field Theory (PhyE), MIE012, EIEF35 Electrical Engineering, basic course (ME), ETEF01 Electromagnetic Field Theory (MathE).

This course introduces students to the study of the novel in English. Focusing on a mixture of established and contemporary texts by a diverse range of authors, it melds critical exploration with skill-acquisition via a series of interactive workshops, alongside seminars and lectures. Students are encouraged to refine their appreciation of the novel as an art-form, and develop transferable skills in communication, critical reflection, and digital fluency.

This course provides a rigorous introduction to programming, abstraction, and the structure of programs. It is designed for students who wish to deepen their understanding of computer science concepts in the context of data science. The primary programming language used is Python; however, the course emphasizes foundational programming ideas, not just language-specific syntax.

It is recommended, but not strictly required, that students have taken a Foundations of Data Science course. There is no formal programming-related prerequisite for this course; students do not need to be familiar with any particular programming language before starting the course.

Venice today is a manifestation of Romanticism’s continuing influence on modern-day culture: Romantic-period literature transformed the city from an almost forgotten backwater into the iconic city of modern tourism. This course is focused on the international re-imagining of Venice by Romantic-period writers such as Goethe, Radcliffe, de Staël, Byron and P. B. Shelley, and the influence of this re-imagining across Europe and beyond. However, this international focus on "Romantic Venice" also enables students to re-think Romanticism in Britain, in terms of its inherently international nature and its international impact. It does this by foregrounding Romanticism’s interest in urban as well as natural worlds; its reinvention of literary genres to address new aesthetic, social, and political objectives; the importance of writers (especially women writers), and kinds of writing (especially travel writing), often marginalized in scholarly accounts of Romanticism; and the influence of "Romantic Venice" on writers such as Dickens, George Sand, and Henry James.
