MSA E-Learning

Discourse Analysis- frequently known as “language use above the level of the sentence” provides students with the opportunity to study the meaningful production and interpretation of texts and talk.  students get introduced to the field of Discourse Analysis in order to unpack texts for generating meaning and bind it with their study of society and culture. They will gain an advanced understanding of the concept of ‘context’ and its relevance in the process of the production of meaning. The course provides students with frameworks and tools to examine and critique texts and instances of language use that is much relevant to socio-economic and socio-cultural issues such as gender, social power and minorities, environment, health and pandemics

The first course in design theory aims to let the student Understand the design process, with emphasis on the development of a visual language; study of historic, scientific, technological, economic, and cultural factors influencing design in our physical environment.

This module aims to further enhance and complement the students’ knowledge and skills in basic econometrics and to tackle further problems encountered in estimating regression models. The module aims thus to prepare students with the necessary knowledge and skills needed to start their graduate econometrics module. All  econometric models built are directly or indirectly linked to several Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)  aiming to narrowing  the gap economic theory and empirical applications through testing real live data. It is related  to reducing poverty, improving health, climate action, sustainable and responsible production and consumption behavior , and enhancement of competitiveness , industries and innovation. 

This module aims to provide students with the basic tools for feasibility study preparation including pre-feasibility study, selection of project, financial analysis, and investment appraisal. It provides a brief coverage of the cost-benefit analysis used in evaluating public projects. It allows the students to utilise what they have learned in various courses such as Accounting, Economics, Finance, Marketing and Management, in the preparation of the feasibility study of projects.

This course aims to describe the characteristics of entrepreneurship & small business, and the importance of diversity in the marketplace and the workplace. It also aims to articulate the differences between the small business manager and the entrepreneur and between the main forms of ownership and franchising. Moreover, it aims to identify the components of a business plan. Furthermore, it aims to evaluate potential start-ups and suggest sources of business ideas, uses of financial records to a small business, sources of funding, laws and regulations that affect small business, and explain the process of developing a small business marketing strategy

Classifying textile fibres, and evaluate the effect of their physical, mechanical and chemical properties on textile products, suggest proper end uses of the fibres considering their favourable and unfavourable properties, the student would  recognize common fibre, yarn and fabric types and develop an ability to match fabrics to their specifications.

This unit aims to enhance the students’ knowledge and skills needed to conduct a research paper of substantial depth and length under the supervision of a faculty member, whether it is theoretical based on literature review and analysis, or empirical based on econometric, statistical or mathematical analysis.

Topics selected by students for their graduation projects are closely linked to sustainable development goals, especially SDG8 related to decent work and economic growth, as they create models where they try to determine the main catalysts for growth in certain countries or regions. Students also choose topics related to reducing poverty (SDG1) or inequality (SDG10), quality education (SDG4) gender equality (SDG5) and many other SDGs.

This course is a studio based course exploring, understanding and experimenting the creative relationship between different aspects of graphic design. Concept, practice, communication and outcome are to be explored with reference to the diversity of practice in graphic design.  Students work on two major projects: the first integrates design and its historical context, while the second focuses on the work of an important 20th-century designer.

 This course focuses on introducing graphic design processes. Elements of creative graphic design are to be explored with a clear understanding of visual data. In addition, this course concentrates on experimenting with different media, materials and processes of graphic design, it also introduces graphic design technique and production processes.
