This unit introduces students to formal and industrial approaches of understanding cinematic, televisual and online screen cultures. It draws upon key theoretical concepts from screen studies – such as film aesthetics, narrative and genre theory – and there is a strong focus on how screen texts are actively promoted and distributed by major industries through trailers and advertising. In this...

This unit introduces students to the world of social research. It answers questions about how to understand, interpret, and collect data, and explores the research methods used to investigate and solve social problems. The unit covers a wide range of social research approaches, and illustrates how these can be used to address specific, real-world problems. The unit includes an introduction to...

This unit takes an interdisciplinary approach to understanding complex adaptive systems and developing skills in systems thinking. This unit helps students to develop a systems thinking mindset and the skills and tools to apply that mindset to complex socioecological problems and coupled human and natural systems. Students will learn to critically evaluate the complexity of the ‘wicked’...

In this unit students engage in work related to the production of an original thesis on an approved subject in one of the major sub-disciplines of spatial information science. This unit is the first of three units as follows: KGG445, KGG446 and KGG447. ...
