Through a combination of theory, workshops, and practical projects, you’ll be introduced to the fundamentals of design including line, tone, colour theory, layout design, composition, type and image across digital and paper-based formats. With an emphasis on ideas-based problem solving, you’ll develop your critical awareness of visual communication and tackle typographic and design projects. You’ll also explore a variety of illustration methods and techniques to enhance your understanding of the design process and effectively communicate ideas in 2D and 3D forms.

While the world has been moving increasingly towards greater inter-connectivity through trade, infrastructure, communications, and migration, criticism of ‘globalisation’ has been growing ever louder. This wide-ranging course explores the process of globalisation, its macroeconomic implications, and the role of international organisations such as the United Nations. You will examine some of the responses to globalisation, from populist political movements like Brexit and Trumpism to diverse transnational social movements such as Black Lives Matter and the Arab Spring of 2011. In so doing, the programme will engage with ethical and theoretical constructs to help us to understand better the thinking behind the differing dynamics we are examining. This course is perfect for students seeking to understand some of the most significant political phenomena of our time.

Generative AI promises to be one of the most transformative technologies of the coming decade. Following the widespread adoption of Large Language Model tools such as Chat GPT and Dall-E, entrepreneurs have been experimenting with how they can use these technologies to create new ventures and disrupt established industries.

This course will examine concepts and theories in the study of world affairs and global politics. It will cover the mainstream approaches of realism and liberalism as well as major critical approaches, including feminism and post-colonialism. Theories and concepts will be discussed in the context of historical and contemporary case studies, including the Cold War, the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the 2008 global financial crisis, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Relevant scholarly frameworks will also be used to make sense of major issues in the study and practice of global politics such as weapons proliferation, humanitarian intervention, and the climate crisis.

Study at a UK University without the need for an IELTS score. MC Academy is delighted to have teamed up with De Montfort University, Coventry University, Greenwich University, and Bangor University, who have all agreed to accept our certificates as evidence of English level.

In this course, students will learn how businesses communicate to their different stakeholders in the context of the Internet and social media, with a focus on how different communication models are used on the most popular social media platforms.

Deep Unsupervised Learning is an exciting emerging area of research in the field of artificial intelligence and machine learning, in which the goal is to develop systems that can learn from unlabelled data. Such systems closely mimic natural human intelligence by finding patterns in data without instructions on what to look for.

In our age of burgeoning smart technology and automation, we are already seeing the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in fields as diverse as finance, medicine, and manufacturing. This course offers a hands-on introduction to this future-focused area of research.

What inspired the emergence and flowering of the fantasy genre in the 20th and 21st centuries? Oxford and the Rise of Fantasy offers a unique opportunity to examine the fantasy genre from its earliest origins to the present day, exploring at each stage the influence of Oxford and its writers.

The course begins with an introduction to Computational Psychology and Artificial Intelligence, exploring the ways in which process-based computational models may be used to represent the workings of the human brain, employing algorithms to simulate aspects of cognition and predict behavior. We shall then turn to how such models correlate with neurobiology, the actual network of cells and signals which constitutes the brain, investigating neuron models, how neural networks perform computations, and neuropsychological theories of learning.

Throughout the course, students will draw inspiration from the City of Edinburgh: its history, landscape, and literary legacy, through tours, visits and a performance session, to explore the story they wish to tell. In the second part of the course, students will attend sessions which will focus on one format of creative writing of their choosing (prose, scriptwriting and poetry). Students will nurture their creative talent in a supportive environment, by learning from highly experienced, expert teachers, and gaining specialist, individual feedback during one-to-one sessions on their developing creative work.

This course will provide an overview of the most important global health policies, practices and challenges. Students will learn about the key processes governing global health policy and explore topics such as infectious diseases, epidemics and pandemics, humanitarian health, and the impact of climate change on population health.

Located in the historic city of Edinburgh, students will embark on a scholarly adventure through a range of disciplines including literature, philosophy, history and art history. Students on this course will develop their academic skills and gain a fascinating insight into studying Humanities at the university level. Using a range of modern and contemporary texts and artworks from Scotland, students will be introduced to relevant concepts and perspectives used in the study of the Humanities.

Economic History: The Great Divergence, Convergence, and Beyond explores the causes of substantial variations in wealth among nations, investigates the reasons behind the prosperity of certain societies contrasted with others grappling with poverty, and examines the potential permanence of inequality between the developed and developing worlds. To address these questions and comprehend today's global economy, the course emphasizes the significance of adopting a historical perspective.

Advanced Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning: Natural Language Processing is a course that delves into the theoretical concepts of NLP, exploring its current applications and envisioning the potential future uses in diverse domains. The course highlights the significance of NLP in our daily lives, emphasizing its integration through predictive text, translation tools, and smart devices, showcasing the immense future potential within this exciting area of research, particularly evident in large language models like Chat-GPT.
