    • Business Economics and Sustainability

    • In Person/On Campus

    This course invites students to familiarize themselves with the basic principles of Microeconomics and discover the close relationship between Microeconomics and Sustainable Development. The purpose of the course is to provide an understanding of economic concepts and theories, while highlighting their practical application in everyday life. The course enables participants to develop their critical thinking skills through the analysis, evaluation and questioning of current practices, and ultimately, proposing applicable solutions, with the principles of Sustainable Development in mind. The main goal of the course is to develop skills that will allow students to appreciate economic issues in their proper context and to address them in a multidimensional, modern way that promotes Sustainability, while highlighting ways of optimal management of our finite economic resources.

    Learning Objectives:

    • Analyze the Impact of Market Structures on Sustainable Practices: Students will evaluate how different market structures (e.g., perfect competition, monopoly, oligopoly) influence the adoption of sustainable practices by firms. This includes understanding how market power and competition affect environmental outcomes and resource allocation.
    • Assess the Role of Government Policies in Promoting Sustainable Economic Behavior: Students will examine various microeconomic policies (e.g., taxes, subsidies, regulations) and their effectiveness in promoting sustainability. They will learn to analyze the economic incentives created by these policies and their impact on both consumer and producer behavior towards sustainable practices.
    • Evaluate the Economic Viability of Sustainable Business Models: Students will explore the economic principles underlying sustainable business models, such as circular economy and green entrepreneurship. They will assess the cost-benefit analysis of sustainable practices and their long-term economic impacts on both businesses and society.

    Foundations of Psychology

    • In Person/On Campus

    Can you measure happiness or anger? How do brain functions, our cognition, the environment and our personality interact to shape who we are? Can you gain all this knowledge in three weeks? Foundations of Psychology gives students the opportunity to establish connections between factors that determine our behavior and wellbeing. Students learn how to conduct research and gather data, in order to measure emotions, behaviors, and cognition. A holistic approach to human behavior is utilized, combining the understanding of how the brain, hormones and genetics influence behaviors, along with the impact of the environment.  Experimentation, hands-on activities and role-play, as well as debates and heated discussions will provide students with a thorough understanding of the foundations of the most important fields of Psychology. The course also focuses on abnormal psychology, one of the areas that most students are especially interested in. Mental health disorders, their symptoms, causes and management are introduced from a critical point of view.

    Learning Objectives 

    • Demonstrate knowledge on research methods and biological psychology, such as brain anatomy, hormone regulation and genetics.
    • Experiment with memory and thinking games, to determine the role of cognition in behavior. 
    • Critically assess the role of the environment on development and wellbeing.
    • Research and review mental health disorders, their causes and management.

    Fundamentals of Computer Science

    • In Person/On Campus

    Do computers make mistakes? How does a machine even know what to do? Is Artificial Intelligence really intelligent? This course will guide students through the principles of computer science, exploring the theory and real-world applications of the concepts that govern it. Students will learn about the concepts of algorithms, binary mathematics, Boolean algebra and digital logic, and the theory of computation. They will be introduced to the workings of computer architecture, operating systems, computer networks and embedded systems, and gain insight into the neural networks that power modern AI systems. Throughout the course, the students will have the opportunity to build on their newfound theoretical knowledge through simulations on topics such as Digital Design and Turing Machines, as well as a plethora of hands-on programming challenges, primarily in C++.

    Learning Objectives

    • Gain a broad understanding of how computing and technology are shaping our world.
    • Formulate and implement algorithms in one or more industry-standard programming languages; Investigate code errors, debug and test programs, and evaluate complexity of algorithms
    • Think algorithmically to solve programming problems using conditional, iterative and recursive structures, and other techniques.
    • Compare and contrast procedural and object-oriented programming paradigms
    • Develop collaboration skills in team, project-based learning environments

    Genetics and Food: From Molecule to Medicine

    • In Person/On Campus

    Have you ever wondered how biomolecules or chemical compounds contained in food affect our genes? Why each of us perceives the taste of foods differentely or how certain nutrients influence human health on a molecular level? This course explores the fascinating correlation between food, the human genome and the potential application of food science in medicine, in an interdisciplinary manner.

    Students are introduced to fundamental concepts of food biochemistry and investigate the influence of nutrition in gene expression. Through the study of basic biological and pharmacological principles, they examine the crucial role of food science and technology in combating inflammations and serious diseases. Gene regulation, nutrigenomics and the study of novel edible materials with application in medicine are some of the key concepts of the exciting world which bridges food and medicine! Students also gain hands-on experience with laboratory techniques, involving gel electrophoresis, synthesis of polymeric materials for personalized medicine, and various biochemical assays (e.g. DNA extraction).

    Learning Objectives:
    • Study of the structure of nutrients and their impact on human body function.
    • Investigate the bioactivity of nutrients and its application in treatment of various diseases.
    • Practice laboratory techniques used in biosciences and food industry.
    • Develop and communicate cutting-edge projects through poster and oral presentations.

    Human Rights and Business Ethics

    • In Person/On Campus

    Do businesses have responsibilities toward society? And if so, do those responsibilities end where the law ends?
    In today’s interconnected world, corporations are not merely economic actors—they are powerful social and political forces. From labor conditions and equality to environmental sustainability and digital privacy, corporate decisions shape the lives of millions across the globe.

    This course introduces students to the evolving field of business ethics through the lens of human rights. Moving beyond legal compliance, students explore what it means for companies to act responsibly in a globalized economy. Drawing on international frameworks such as the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, students examine accountability, transparency, corporate governance and sustainability in practice.

    Through case studies of multinational corporations, ethical dilemma simulations, structured debates, and collaborative projects, students will investigate key questions:
    • Can a corporation ever be truly “neutral”?
    • What happens when profit conflicts with human dignity?
    • What is the ethical and social responsibility of corporations in addressing climate change and social inequalities?
    • Who holds companies accountable when regulation is weak?

    The course cultivates analytical reasoning, ethical reflection, and persuasive communication. Students will not only learn existing frameworks—they will evaluate them, challenge them, and propose innovative solutions.

    Learning Objectives
