This is an individual study project. Students must have a well-developed idea of the theme of the study. A faculty teacher is appointed as supervisor, and an agreement is signed between the student and the teacher describing the title, contents, ECTS credits of the study. A supervisor normally meets with the student between two and four times in order to discuss the progress of the individual study, or any problems encountered. Most supervisors also choose to read and comment on parts of the study. Students applying to do an individual study must submit a detailed project description with their application. Exams for Individual Study Projects may be oral, written or a combination of the two. This version of the course is worth 6 quarter units and corresponds to a workload of 206 hours. 

The course identifies and discuses current local and global societal problems. Critically, students look at these problems to illustrate how the theoretical starting point shapes our understanding of the problem and the way we research it.

The course introduces students to the concepts, terminology, and methods related to analysis of spatial and temporal patterns in digital data. The course discusses and analyzes how patterns can be identified, measured, and tested statistically through a series of lectures, hands-on exercises, and student presentations.

This course introduces the main theoretical models and the empirical methods employed to explain and measure consciousness. It discusses the neurobiological mechanisms possibly underlying the emergence of consciousness and why science needs to embrace conceptual and philosophical levels of analysis. The course outlines the multi-faceted nature of consciousness by discussing different aspects of the phenomenon in normal as well as abnormal conditions. It encourages active discussions and critical thinking regarding the current state of knowledge about how the brain relates to the mind. This version of the course is worth 6 quarter UC units.

This course provides an understanding of the quantum chemical description of many-electron systems like atoms and molecules. Topics include general angular momentum theory; time-independent perturbation theory and variation theory; Born-Oppenheimer approximation and molecular potential energy surfaces; general operator properties and the antisymmetrizer of the permutation group; many-electron theory; Hartree-Fock-Roothaan theory for self-consistent treatment of molecular electronic states; methods for describing electron correlation; and molecular interaction with external electric fields by means of perturbation theory.
