This introductory course is a practical platform for students to build their understanding of games, immersive media, and film. The course provides students with an overview of the skills, knowledge, and understanding needed to create both games and film work. Students work in lab environments to both develop practical outcomes with industry-orientated skillset and acquire a critical understanding through foundational lectures. It includes an introduction to film-editing and 3D Design for Games, integrated into group and individual project activities.

Psychological disorders are common and very diverse across the lifespan. In this course, the most common disorders in childhood and adulthood are discussed.

Topics range from basic descriptive statistics to more advanced topics including multivariate analysis, logistic regression, and model optimization. As additional skills, students are introduced to professional-standard plotting resources, basic programming functions in R, and the user-friendly RStudio interface.

This course covers intermediate mathematical methods presented in contexts relevant for economists and students of connected subject fields. It equips students with operational skills in applying intermediate, applied-mathematical methods to problems taken from various contexts in economics and social sciences; and to train students in planning and systematically executing lengthy calculations both on paper as well as using software aids such as Mathematica/Matlab/Python.
