Personality and Individual Differences (PHDE0005)

This module examines human personality and individuality, along with its implications for all areas of human experience. Its focus is on how we are unique individuals but also connected to others. The personality section investigates the nature and structure of individual differences in personality, how these differences are assessed, and how they can be explained psychologically and biologically. The individual differences section will introduce students to current concepts in and research on individual differences in psychology. Material will include: 1) research methods and measurement of differences, 2) structure and distribution of the traits we use to describe individuals, 3) what is known about the cause of differences (“nature vs. nurture”), and 4) why we care about differences (ie. the associated outcome variables and applications of this knowledge).

Introductory Microeconomics for Health (GLBH0029)

Introductory microeconomics for health is designed for students with a strong quantitative background, but without a first degree in Economics. These students require an introductory orientation to the concepts and models used to frame economic thinking within health. Although the majority of the course will focus on relevant theories, students will begin to make empirical links to the application of theory in health. This serves as a foundation for the later Microeconomics for Health module. This module will provide you with:

A basic introduction to the relevant microeconomic concepts and tools that are used in the analysis of health and healthcare care markets.
	An introduction to the methods of applying mathematical techniques to microeconomic problems.
	The ability to understand core economic theories and economic reasoning and how they might be applied to a limited set of policy relevant topics.
	A basic understanding of verbal, graphical, and mathematical representations of economic ideas and analyses.
After taking this module you should be able to:

Describe core economic theory and economic reasoning.
	Understand how those theories and that reasoning may relate to a subset of policy relevant topics.
	Solve basic microeconomic models related to consumer choice and demand, producer behaviour, and market equilibria.
	Have a basic foundation to work with quantitative models.
The module is open to anyone with a 2.1 or above in a quantitative first degree.

You will be taught primarily through lectures. Tutorials and problem classes will familiarise you with concepts and techniques through a hands-on approach. Problem sheets will be provided to encourage self-study. Moodle will be used to provide a repository of course materials, and in other ways at the discretion of the lecturer.
