A NOTE ON THE 2021-2022 UCM COURSE CATALOGUE - OVERVIEW OF MOST IMPORTANT CHANGES

On behalf of the UCM Curriculum Committee, the contributing faculties and the teaching staff, UCM

is pleased to present the course catalogue for 2021-2022. The publication of the new course cataloguebrings with it the usual changes of coordinators, course titles, periods, prerequisites and the like, all

detailed in the new edition. Furthermore, there are several new courses, while others have beenretired. All of these changes have been carefully reflected upon in consultation with the CurriculumCommittee, the Educational Program Committee, the Academic Council, staff and faculties. To help

you make an informed course selection, please have a look below for a brief overview of the mostsignificant changes.

New & discontinued courses:UCM is happy to announce that several new interesting courses, skills and projects will be added to

the curriculum next academic year.Most significantly, there will be a change in UCM’s core curriculum. In response to a long-standing

demand, UCM has decided to replace Theory Construction and Modelling Techniques (TCMT) with anew core course called COR1006 Science, Reason and Human Progress. To make sure we do not lose

the valuable content of TCMT in the curriculum the course will still be offered though; not as a corecourse, but as an elective course: SCI1001 Theory Construction and Modelling Techniques. Pleasenote that although TCMT has received a science code, it can be declared as a course in either the

Sciences or the Social Science concentration, depending on your individual curriculum planning. Also,those students who have taken TCMT as a core course in the past, but did not pass it can decide next

year whether they would like to take the new core course (COR1006) or the old TCMT course(SCI1001) again to meet their core graduation requirements.

Next to this fundamental change, UCM has decided to strengthen the science concentration by addinga new science course called, SCI2042 Infectious Diseases and Global Public Health.Also the skills trainings have been strengthened by the addition of SKI2047 Gaining Racial Literacy.

Furthermore, in the field of economics SSC3034 International Economic Relations: The Case ofEurope has been added to the curriculum, and SSC2010 Contending Perspectives in Economics: The

Case of Inequality will replace SSC3057 Economics and Society. Those of you who are interested inthe content that was covered in SSC3057 Economics and Society, but did not have the chance to take

it yet, should be aware that it is possible to request the SBE course EBC2153 History of Economicthought (which covers very similar content) as external education.

Finally, UCM is happy to announce that all additions to the catalogue that have been announced lastfall in the addendum of the course catalogue 2020-2021 will continue to be offered and haven beenproperly placed in the upcoming catalogue. These are: PRO3005 Public Policy Evaluation & Analysis

Project; SSC2071 Latin America: History, Politics, and Culture; SSC3060 Extractivism and(Under)development in Latin America; SSC3055 Chinese International Relations and Foreign Policy;

and SSC3059 China and India in Global Governance.Next to these changes, please be aware that UCM updated the appendix to the course catalogue. This

implies that several courses are still open to UCM students at the Maastricht Science Program (MSP)and at University College Venlo (UCV). Please check the last section of the Course Catalogue for anoverview. 1

Changes in Periods, Levels, Concentrations and Names

1 Since MSP and UCV are sister programs of UCM, the courses listed in the appendix to the UCM course

catalogue, but taken at MSP and UCV, are considered internal courses for purposes of graduation, meaning thatthey do not count towards the 60 ECTS maximum for external education. Furthermore, in contrast to externaleducation, they do not have to be at the 3000-level. However, UCM cannot guarantee that there is no clash ofschedules between these courses and the courses offered at UCM, and students will have to register for thesecourses through the external course-booking module on MyUCM, indicating backup courses on the courseregistration form.

COR1002 Philosophy of Science

Course coordinatorL. Boon, Faculty of Science and Engineering, University College Maastricht,Louis@ maastrichtuniversityDr. P. Vermeer, Faculty of Science and Engineering, University College Maastricht,peter@maastrichtuniversity

Semester Period ECTS Concentration Device FreeFall / Spring 2 / 5 5 Core No

PrerequisiteNone.

RecommendedIt is strongly recommended not to take this course in your first or second semester.

Objective  To familiarize students with the philosophical foundations of the scientific method.

Description of the courseTypical issues in this course are: What is the role of observation in science? What is a scientific explanation?What roles do theories and experiments play in science? What is the nature of scientific progress? Can werationally decide between scientific viewpoints? In what ways are the social sciences similar to or differentfrom the natural sciences? The course presents an introduction to major issues in the philosophy of science. It can be divided intofour parts. In the first we will deal with traditional positions on the objectivity and methodology of science, likethose of logical empiricism. The second focuses on objections to this received view as formulated by criticalrationalism and by Thomas Kuhn’s paradigm theory. Kuhn’s theory revolutionized thinking about scientificknowledge and led to the so-called sociological and historical turn in the philosophy of science. The course thenaddresses two fundamental problems in the field: ‘Do our theories describe reality?’ (The problem of realism)and ‘Do we now have better knowledge than in the past’ (The problem of cognitive progress). In the final partof the course problems in the philosophy of the social sciences will take center stage: How do the socialsciences explain and predict events? Does the method of understanding present an alternative methodologyfor social science? And finally: What is the role of social science in society.

COR1003 Contemporary World History

Course coordinatorDr. M. Stout, Faculty of Science and Engineering, University College Maastricht,mark@maastrichtuniversity

Semester Period ECTS Concentration Device FreeFall / Spring 1 / 4 5 Core Yes

PrerequisiteNone.

Objectives  To provide students with an understanding of the main trends in politics, demography, society and culture over the last 70 years and to put these trends in a global context.  To develop a critical attitude towards the use of historical theory, and the interpretation of historical data and processes.

Description of the courseThe course intends to trace back current situations to their historical backgrounds. The first three tasks, underthe caption “Toolkit”, will therefore consist of a brief exploration of the philosophy of history and some issuesregarding historical perspective, a discussion of the concepts of “state” versus ‘nation’ (in anticipation of issuesregarding decolonization, specific regional conflicts, and possible sources of conflict in general that will bediscussed in later tasks), and a discussion of the Cold War as an influential factor in recent history.Each of the following tasks, under the captions of “Area surveys” and “Assessment of the currentglobal situation” respectively, will be built around a case that represents the underlying problem, and bothcombined will lead students to specific source material. Examples of such cases are decolonization, theeconomic development of Asia, conflict in Africa, and the implications of the current position of the USA as“solitary superpower”.
