  • Human Rights and Business Ethics

    Do businesses have social responsibility? Understanding the law means understanding your place in the world—this is the core objective of this course.

    European and national legislation shape a model of entrepreneurship that is accountable to employees, citizens and other businesses. Fundamental human rights are safeguarded, ensuring that modern entrepreneurship has a social dimension. How can respect for equality and non-discrimination be ensured in everyday work life? Individual creativity requires a psychologically healthy environment to flourish – and this is a corporate responsibility. 

    Furthermore, through research, oral activities and an interdisciplinary approach, students will explore the legal commitments of businesses concerning environmental protection, consumer rights, and the maintenance of fair competition. Students will also become familiar with patterns of models of ethical and responsible social behavior – even in competitive environments. Developing legal thinking will help students construct and formulate thoughts and ideas, with a sense of responsibility and social awareness.

    Learning objectives

    • Acquisition of diverse knowledge and perspectives through speeches by professionals and academics.
    • Development of soft skills, including oral communication, critical thinking and problem solving, through the organization of a mock trial.
    • Enhancement of creativity, as knowledge is applied in individual and group projects, such as documentaries, posters, online/social media announcements, and article writing.

    Human Rights and Business Ethics

    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
    By the end of the course, students will:
    • Understand core principles of human rights and business ethics.
    • Distinguish between legal compliance and ethical responsibility.
    • Analyze real-world corporate cases using structured ethical frameworks.
    • Develop advanced oral and written argumentation skills through debates and simulations.
    • Produce individual and group projects (such as policy briefs, corporate codes of ethics, advocacy campaigns and podcasts).

    Inside the Brain: Psychology Meets Medicine

    How does the brain create thoughts, emotions, and behavior? What happens when it is injured or affected by illness?

    In this interdisciplinary course, students will explore the fascinating connection between neuroscience, psychology, and medicine. Through interactive activities, real clinical case studies, and hands-on experiments, participants will learn how brain structure and biology influence memory, decision-making, personality, and mental health.

    The course also introduces modern medical technologies and ethical questions shaping the future of brain science.

    Introduction to Biomedical Sciences

    Which organ has over 400 functions? Are there liquid tissues in the human body? What factors contribute to the development of cancer? Much like Leonardo da Vinci’s fascination with human anatomy, our course delves into these intriguing questions! Drawing upon fundamental biological and chemical concepts, students explore the intricate anatomical and physiological mechanisms that govern normal human function, as an introduction to human biology and the science of medicine. Students learn about the human body’s different systems, including the digestive, cardiovascular, respiratory, musculoskeletal, excretory, nervous, endocrine, and immune systems, highlighting their interconnectedness. Laboratory activities encompass histology, anatomy and physiology (including dissections) and biochemistry techniques. Students also learn practical skills, such as suturing, and dive into group work, solving epidemiology mysteries and investigating the causes and cures for different diseases.

    Learning Objectives

    • Model the interrelatedness of three human body systems working together to maintain homeostasis. 
    • Demonstrate the skills and tools to complete scientific dissections.
    • Select, review and report on a disease or syndrome that impacts one human body system, including its causes, manifestation, symptoms and treatment methods. 

    The Art & Science of Filmaking

    Almost 120 years ago (1896), the first film ever made was presented in a French café impressing the audience. From that time a new art was progressively formed through a variety of artistic movements, trends, and also scientific and technological achievements.

    Film watching has been a favorite habit for billions of people around the world. But, why are so many people engaged by the stories presented on screen? What are the biological and psychological processes activated during film-watching? How have these processes evolved in humans? Do we all “see” the same story on screen? Furthermore, how is cinematic reality constructed? How do images and sounds interact to compose the cinematic world? What is the science behind visual and audio effects?

    These are just some of the concepts to be investigated by the students in this course. As they develop a deep understanding of the principles of cinematic narration, students will also learn various scientific concepts as well as techniques related the film-making and film-watching processes.

    The World of Εconomics and Enterpreneurship

    Alfred Marshall described economics as “the study of mankind in the ordinary business of life.” How much are you willing to pay for ice cream on a hot summer day? Why professional athletes earn so much? Is there such a thing as a perfectly competitive market? Why has Google been accused of monopolistic practices?  Is Bitcoin a financial bubble or our future currency? Which are the key success factors for businesses in the modern economic era? What is a “start-up” company and how can it be financed?

    The “world of economics and entrepreneurship” aims to answer these questions in a creative and exciting way; by investigating how various economic agents (households, firms and governments) make crucial decisions, students become familiar with the mechanisms that shape our current economic and business reality and therefore our society. During this course, students analyze basic economic and business concepts, such as supply and demand, scarcity of resources, cost of production, market structure, incentives, business strategy, innovation and more, and consider them in the context of today’s global economy.

    Case studies and participation in the creation of a small “start-up” through a firm simulation game will provide useful insight into businesses organization, operations and decision-making. Upon completion of the course, students will acquire useful knowledge upon the basic functions of an economy and a business, becoming themselves responsible decision-makers in their everyday lives.
