Metaphysics: The Nature of Reality
Metaphysics is the study of what kinds of things there and what they are like in the most general terms. We have both a common sense picture of the world and a scientific picture of the world, and sometimes these two appear to conflict. Part of the job of metaphysics is to try to adjudicate what, if anything, in our picture of the world needs to be given up. Central questions in metaphysics include:
Objects: Are there nonexistent objects? Can there be distinct identical objects? Can there be distinct objects in exactly the same place at the same time?
Time: How do objects persist through time and change? Do future and past objects exist? Does time flow and at what rate?
Persons: What constitutes our personal identity? Are we animals, souls, or something else? Does identity matter for persons to survive through time and change? -

Methods and Analysis of Global Health Trends and Differentials
The primary objective of this module is to provide an overview of the conceptual, methodological and empirical basis for quantifying levels of population health focusing on low income countries. More specifically, the module covers:
•The conceptual underpinnings for measurement of global health;
•Key approaches and challenges to collecting information on various dimensions of health;
•Characteristics and limitations of frequently used data sources in the computation of health metrics;
•Measurements and interpretation of health inequalities;
•Methods for combining multi-dimensional information into summary measures of overall health-state levels;
•Health systems monitoring frameworks and application of results-chains -

ARTD6224 2026-27
Methods for Arts and Cultural Research
In this module you will develop a proposal for an independent project. The proposal will develop a project that addresses current ideas and debates related to arts and cultural management and leadership, and professional development challenges and opportunities. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, you will evaluate literature on research methods and project management and analyse a diversity of different projects (e.g., led by and involving combinations of academics, practitioners, organisations and communities; funded from different sources; using different methods). You will review and reflect on ethical requirements and the conventions of proposal writing. -

Methods in Humanities Data Science
In this module, you will engage with methods in data science and situate them in critical humanities thinking. We will develop practical skills in using computational methods for working with data, including: dataset and process documentation (e.g. data sheets and model cards), data summarization (e.g. AI), object detection and information extraction (e.g. computer vision), and critical comparisons of approaches to data analysis (e.g. text mining vs corpus linguistics). This module will enable you to situate data science methods in (inter)disciplinary humanities thinking and practically apply them to professional contexts. -

ARTD6285 2026-27
Methods of Artistic Research
In this module, students are introduced to the concept of Artistic Research, and the contemporary debates around the relationship of contemporary art to knowledge production. By providing students with a theoretical context in which to situate their emerging practices as research, the module is specifically designed to bridge the gap between an undergraduate model of studio-based art education, and the independent research of a practice-based PhD,
Through a series of seminars led by permanent staff and guest speakers, students become familiar with key concepts, current trends, and emerging critiques of the field of artistic research. The module runs concurrently with Studio Practice 1, enabling students to reflect and act upon the research methods introduced in the seminars in their expanding studio practice.
There are two components of assessment. Students will compile a sketchbook and research folder documenting the parallel development of their individual research and studio practice. Alongside this, students write a 1000 word statement summarising their research and outlining how they see this informing their future practice. -
