OR Methods for Data Scientists
This module introduces key operational research (OR) techniques. It is split into two sections focusing on deterministic and stochastic OR techniques respectively. The methods taught on the module are useful tools for solving practical management and logistics problems.
The deterministic OR section focuses on linear and integer programming. The process of modelling problems of a practical nature as a linear or integer program will be developed. Following an explanation of a standard version of the simplex method, some of its variants will be introduced. The main ideas of linear programming duality will also be explained. A computer workshop session trains students in the use of commercial linear programming software. The branch and bound approach for solving integer programming problems will also be developed.
In the stochastic OR section, the main topics are decision theory and simulation modelling. Models and examples are given to demonstrate applications of the topics. Discrete event simulation is taught via lectures and computer workshops while Decision Theory is taught in lectures. -

Orchestration and Arranging
This module is based partially on lectures and partially on the study of existing scores, together with listening tasks. It is understood that practical experience of hearing your arrangements is the best teacher of all: therefore there is an expectation that you will write for existing and active ensembles. A prior knowledge of notation software e.g. Sibelius or Finale, is also important. -

Organisational Development
This module focuses on organisation development (OD) and facilitation and provides you with a core body of knowledge necessary to understand and practice organisation development within contemporary organisations. You will be introduced to the underpinning theories and tools that are associated with state of the art practice of OD. -

Organisational Ethics and Philosophy of Management
Some of the key ethical challenges that arise in business stem from the fact that businesses are organisations, structured social arrangements of multiple individuals. For example, how can individuals hope to act ethically within an organisation, when their actions necessarily have consequences that are beyond their knowledge and control, and are bound by rules and roles which they often do not choose for themselves? Can organisations manage their workforce so as to make them behave morally? What then of the role of autonomy in moral action? And how do these issues affect businesses whose product cannot be measured in simple economic terms—such as information, health, and education? This module will explore some of these challenging issues that arise out of the fact that are our working lives are inevitably organised lives. -

Organisms and their Environment
This module will explore how climate change and other anthropogenic activities are affecting life on earth. It will detail scientific research spanning disciplines and allow students to form arguments and interrogate the primary literature for evidence to back up their claims.
The module begins by introducing how researchers detect biodiversity, from surveys and drones to sequencing environmental DNA. We then explore evidence that the climate is changing, and what the consequences are for animals and plants, both individually and as parts of networks and ecosystems. Building on this, we then investigate evidence that climate change and an increasing population are changing agriculture across the world, with implications for food security, a well as how researchers are trying to combat this challenge. We then wrap up the module thinking about how researchers have responsibilities to carry out ethical, inclusive and equitable research.
