  Course Content 

In this age of ubiquitous data, how do we make sense of all this readily accessible but often overwhelming quantitative information that we encounter every day? To systematically extract insights from data? To"reason" with data? We can think of quantitative reasoning as applying a certain set of logic that allows us to work with data. The insights developed through such an application can help us to answer questions that we are invested in, to support or invalidate preconceived hypotheses, and provide evidence to advance our arguments. Through this journey of reasoning quantitatively, we will illuminate how we can both be critical consumers, as well as actively engage with, this precious resource that is data.

Reference Teaching Themes
● How to reason with data
● Cleaning and exploring our data
● Using our sample and assessing the findings
● Investigating trends and relationships
● Reviewing our quantitative analyses

Students will study specialised courses in microeconomics, macroeconomics, and economic theory, gaining insights into the pivotal role of the social market system in balancing the continually growing demand with limited resources. By analysing real-world cases and current economic policies, students will delve deeper into the behaviours of individuals, decision-makers, and businesses within the economic framework. They will understand the overall impact of economic policies on society, and acquire knowledge about the trends in societal behaviours, resource allocation, and the development of market systems.

Psychology is a discipline that studies human thought, emotions, and behaviour. In this course, students will explore the crucial role of cognitive processes in human behaviour, emotions, and interpersonal relationships. Through the method of dichotomous comparisons, students will differentiate fundamental concepts such as nature versus nurture, automaticity versus control, gaining an understanding of the impact of psychology on human perception, behaviour, and decision-making. Students will attempt to analyse the underlying reasons behind human behaviour using the knowledge acquired, stepping beyond.
Reference Teaching Themes
● Psychological Analysis
● Classic Theories in Psychology
● Scientific Research in the Field of Psychology
● Modern Impact of Technology on Psychology
● Truth Behind Human Thought and Behavior
● Influence of Social Networks
