A research project that assigns students to expert professors in their proposed research topic. The course takes the students' research capabilities to a more professional level. This can be most closely compared to what is called a supervised research project in the USA.

Students look at a wide range of authors and texts from across the span of Cambridge’s literary and intellectual life, including Christopher Marlowe, John Milton, William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Alfred Lord Tennyson, Virginia Woolf, E.M. Forster, Ted Hughes, Sylvia Plath, Helen Oyeyemi, and Zadie Smith – among others. Texts sampled will include poems, a play, novels, short stories, and prose non-fiction.

This course looks at the brain: what it does and how it does it. It takes students on a journey through contemporary neuroscience. What do we know about how the brain enables you to feel, see, move, experience emotions, and have thoughts and memories? What do we still need to know, and what happens when the brain starts to go wrong? 

This course focuses on psychological aspects of the criminal justice system and combines theoretical and practical approaches to activities central to the processes within, such as interviewing witnesses and suspects, person identification, detecting deception, and jury decision-making. It further focuses on the intersection of neuroscience and psychology and the "science" and associations between cognitive development, disorders, and offending.
Consideration is given to psychological theories of predisposing and precipitating factors that influence criminal behavior. Students learn about the approach of the criminal justice system to those with mental disorders as well as treatment options. They are also introduced to assessing risk and decision-making within the wider system.

This course introduces students to key International Relations (IR) theories, concepts, and discussions. It examines the complex and difficult problems the world faces today and the different ways of defining, understanding, and responding to these problems. Understanding the causes of the world’s complex problems is no easy task and no single analytical lens can capture any issue accurately.
