Description

The programme includes modules such as climate change, politics, design thinking, international development, data analytics, public policy, artificial intelligence, security and peace studies, ethics, social science options to study China, Africa, Western and Eastern Europe, as well as the USA.  There will be technology options, such as sustainable design, the Internet of Things, digital interaction and opportunities for rapid prototyping of technological solutions.  The highlight of each year will be an extended team challenge, which requires the integration of social science and technology skills.  The third-year will be a placement in the private or public sectors.

Course modules will cover fundamental technical knowledge of electronic engineering, computer science and data science, and also the fundamental theories of social science, policy and politics, with an international context of these topics. 

Each year there will be an interdisciplinary project related to a global challenge. This project will involve creative problem solving by proposing technological solutions while taking into account the social implications of the proposed solution.  Assessment will be mainly project based through simulations and hackathons for a more engaging learning experience.
