Social policy is concerned with promoting the welfare of citizens. Traditionally, the subject focused on the 'big five' areas of poverty, health, housing, education and unemployment, but has expanded in recent years to broader social issues and international contexts.

Often social policy questions the ways in which services do or do not meet the needs of specific groups, such as children, people with disabilities, women, older people, or members of minority ethnic groups. The understanding and dissection of the concepts of poverty and inequality are fundamental to understanding how people's experience of the welfare state differ.

This course will offer individuals the opportunity to explore these two concepts in detail, before turning to take a look at how we can potentially solve such social problems as poverty and inequality, while considering why this may be difficult.

With a predicted global population of nine billion people in 2050, a well-documented climate crisis and a global food waste problem, the world needs to change. On this course, you'll look at the ways you can make the most of renewable, biological resources, including what you might think of as 'waste', and how the world can move from a fossil-based economy to a bioeconomy.

You'll start this course by gaining an understanding of what a bioeconomy is and which sectors it includes. With the climate crisis being of constant concern, you'll assess why the move away from non-renewable resources is so important and identify the skills required to transition to a bio-based economy. This will also include the skills needed to pursue a career in the bioeconomy and the many career paths available.

On this course, you'll delve into natural resources, such as plants and microbes, and how they can be used to produce high-value chemicals for the personal care, food, drink and pharma sectors. You'll also look at how food and agricultural waste can be used to make new products. This will cover the agricultural technologies that are helping sustainability, as well as methods like anaerobic digestion, which turns waste materials into renewable resources.

From Ada Lovelace until the first decade of this century, we have relied on expert computer programmers to design and write software. Now, a whole new branch of computer science called 'machine learning' is allowing computers to create their own software by learning from data. This is allowing us to solve problems that were previously too complex for humans to code.

In this course, we'll introduce you to 'deep learning', a form of machine learning that has provided performance breakthroughs across a whole host of areas. In addition to fundamental theory and techniques, you'll see how it can be used in applications such as face recognition, self-driving cars and robotics.

We'll also consider ethical implications, such as learning from personal or biased data, and trusting your safety to a learned system that no human can understand.

From Ada Lovelace until the first decade of this century, we have relied on expert computer programmers to design and write software. Now, a whole new branch of computer science called 'machine learning' is allowing computers to create their own software by learning from data.
