GERO6053 2026-27
Mental Health and Ageing (DL)
The module will provide a critical assessment of evidence relevant to mental health and ageing, with a concentration on dementia, one of the most common and serious disorders in later life. The module will take an international perspective, providing an understanding of prevalence, treatment and policy on mental illness in later life in both the developed and developing world. Students will gain an understanding of the key challenges and debates in diagnosis, treatment and policy on mental illness in later life; be able to distinguish between 'normal' and 'abnormal' ageing from a psychological and cognitive perspective; and apply theoretical approaches, e.g. from Gerontology and Psychology, to issues affecting older people with mental illnesses. -

Metaphysics: The Nature of Reality
Metaphysics is the study of what kinds of things there and what they are like in the most general terms. We have both a common sense picture of the world and a scientific picture of the world, and sometimes these two appear to conflict. Part of the job of metaphysics is to try to adjudicate what, if anything, in our picture of the world needs to be given up. Central questions in metaphysics include:
Objects: Are there nonexistent objects? Can there be distinct identical objects? Can there be distinct objects in exactly the same place at the same time?
Time: How do objects persist through time and change? Do future and past objects exist? Does time flow and at what rate?
Persons: What constitutes our personal identity? Are we animals, souls, or something else? Does identity matter for persons to survive through time and change? -

Methods and Analysis of Global Health Trends and Differentials
The primary objective of this module is to provide an overview of the conceptual, methodological and empirical basis for quantifying levels of population health focusing on low income countries. More specifically, the module covers:
•The conceptual underpinnings for measurement of global health;
•Key approaches and challenges to collecting information on various dimensions of health;
•Characteristics and limitations of frequently used data sources in the computation of health metrics;
•Measurements and interpretation of health inequalities;
•Methods for combining multi-dimensional information into summary measures of overall health-state levels;
•Health systems monitoring frameworks and application of results-chains -

ARTD6224 2026-27
Methods for Arts and Cultural Research
In this module you will develop a proposal for an independent project. The proposal will develop a project that addresses current ideas and debates related to arts and cultural management and leadership, and professional development challenges and opportunities. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, you will evaluate literature on research methods and project management and analyse a diversity of different projects (e.g., led by and involving combinations of academics, practitioners, organisations and communities; funded from different sources; using different methods). You will review and reflect on ethical requirements and the conventions of proposal writing. -

DIGI6001 2025-26
Methods in Humanities Data Science
In this module, you will engage with methods in data science and situate them in critical humanities thinking. We will develop practical skills in using computational methods for working with data, including: dataset and process documentation (e.g. data sheets and model cards), data summarization (e.g. AI), object detection and information extraction (e.g. computer vision), and critical comparisons of approaches to data analysis (e.g. text mining vs corpus linguistics). This module will enable you to situate data science methods in (inter)disciplinary humanities thinking and practically apply them to professional contexts. -
