This module introduces the field of human computer interaction with emphasis on its impact on software design. It provides the student with theories and models of the way users think and work to guide the students to best design the interface to suite users’ preferences. It provides an understanding of the underlying processes of human perception, information processing, and demonstrates their relevance to user interface design. Students will learn how to apply mechanisms such as feedback, user support, navigation aids and good screen design in constructing interface designs that match users' needs. Students will also learn techniques for evaluating user interface designs that are grounded in theory.

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 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 module is the first part of two twin modules teaching the history of economic thought. The aim of this module is to explain and evaluate the evolution of economic thought starting from the Greek times till the mid-nineteenth century and the emergence of Marxist thought.

Although historical, this module contributes in the theoretical economic underpinning of the 2030 Agenda and the role of classical and neoclassical economic theory in this context. Most economic theories – as the 2030 Agenda – are related to every aspect of sustainability especially those linked to decent work and economic growth (SDG 8), reduced inequality (SDG 10) and peace, justice and strong institutions (SDG 16).

This module is the second part of two twin modules focusing on the history and development of economic thought. The aim of this module is to explain and evaluate the evolution of economic thought starting from the end of the first part module namely the emergence of Marxist thought till the contemporary developments in macroeconomics and microeconomics.
