Epistemology: Knowledge and Evidence
Epistemology is dedicated to questions about the nature and structure of knowledge and justified belief. Some central questions in epistemology include:
- What is knowledge? Why is it valuable?
- To gain knowledge from a reliable source, does one need to know that the source is reliable, or is it enough for the source simply to be reliable?
- What is justified belief? Is evidence necessary for justified belief, or can some beliefs be justified without evidence?
- Is the justification of a person's beliefs determined just by the person's mental states, or might factors external to the mind play an essential role?
- Where, if at all, do sceptical arguments go astray?
While epistemology has traditionally focused on individual knowers, the field has recently taken an interpersonal turn, examining new questions concerning the social dimensions of knowledge. The course will cover some of this new work in social epistemology in addition to classics in individual epistemology. -

Equity Investing with Artificial Intelligence
This module provides an introduction to modern finance theory and its applications to equity investing, incorporating artificial intelligence and data analytics in investment analysis. It begins with an overview of asset classes and equity markets, fundamentals of security analysis, and equity valuation models. Building on this foundation, students examine portfolio optimisation and portfolio management, including passive and active investment strategies, portfolio construction techniques, and rigorous approaches to performance measurement and evaluation. An important aspect of the module is how artificial intelligence, and data analytics are transforming equity investing. Students explore how these techniques can be used for return forecasting, risk modelling, factor discovery, and portfolio construction, while critically assessing their assumptions, limitations, and practical challenges. The module also considers stock-market efficiency, investor rationality, and selected insights from behavioural finance. By integrating established finance theory with modern artificial intelligence approaches, the module equips students with a comprehensive understanding of contemporary equity investment analysis and management.
