Electric power systems are one of the most important assets of any nation and are responsible for the nation’s assured and non-stop electricity supply. This module provides an overview of the power engineering tools of dynamic modelling, stability analysis and control design, which are needed to ensure that the electricity supply exactly meets the electricity-demand at every instant, and the system operation remains stable so that any unforeseen change or disturbance in the system does not lead to partial or complete system shutdown. The importance of these power engineering tools and concepts are considered in light of the urgently needed large-scale integration of renewable sources to power systems, which may lead to several stability challenges, such as reduced system inertia, stochastic generation and converter driven instabilities.
This module introduces students to fundamental issues in the design and operation of electricity transmission and distribution networks. There is a particular focus on understanding how to specify equipment, including through the use of power flow modelling tools such as ERACS and PowerWorld. Students are introduced to fundamental concepts of power flow, protection and earthing, along with the the construction of overhead lines and underground cables.
- To introduce fundamental concepts relating to the design, analysis, economics and management of modern electrical power systems. - To develop awareness of the technical problems associated with operation of such systems. - To gain analytical and numerical modelling skills for handling particular problems. - To introduce classification of grid users, load control and tariffs.
- To introduce the students to fundamental concepts relating to the design and management of modern electrical power systems. - To develop amongst the students an awareness of technical problems associated with operation of such systems. - To teach the students basic theory and equip them with necessary analytical, numerical and modelling skills for handling particular problems. Students are not required to have taken ELEC2213 before taking ELEC3214, but it is strongly recommended.
This course is an introduction to practical chemistry, involving direct laboratory teaching (with detailed instructions) of a range of basic skills to set foundations for further learning. It includes the teaching of common experimental techniques, use of laboratory instrumentation (e.g. NMR, IR, MS Spectrometers); along with training in the analysis (and appropriate presentation) of data. As the course proceeds, this course will progressively introduce slightly more advanced basic skills, building on previously developed skills and knowledge. More complex work-ups will be undertaken, with more emphasis on student input (or decision making) in the process. Students will also have the opportunity to learn how to use additional instrumentation (e.g. UV-Vis, Fluorescence Spectrometers).
This course is designed to further develop practical chemistry skills built in earlier years.
A practical based module to reinforce lecture material from other modules on unit operations and to develop understanding of spectroscopic methods of chemical characterisation.
A practical based module to reinforce lecture material from other modules on unit operations and to develop understanding of numerical methods of chemical analysis.
The emphasis is on processing and application of data collected in the optical regions of the electromagnetic spectrum using passive sensors.
This is a non-credit bearing module designed to provide practical support for Master's-level research projects within the School of Engineering that involves qualitative or quantitative analysis of studies with human participants. It consists of a set of online resources and workshops throughout Semester 2 and the summer, including support for using SPSS and NVIVO. The module is not designed to provide theoretical underpinning to research methods or analysis, which is provided by separate credit-bearing modules, or dedicated support for your research project, which is provided by your research supervisor. The module will offer practical guidance on undertaking a range of analysis techniques using common software packages and provide opportunities for supervised practice using those to support the design and analysis of your project.
Practice-based learning provides an opportunity to apply the knowledge, skills, behaviours and values you are developing at university whilst experiencing current practice in physiotherapy. Practice-based learning may take place in a variety of geographical locations, predominantly across the South of England. We group these experiences by the setting you will be based: acute, non-acute, outpatient and portfolio of practice (which describes roles across the four pillars of practice). You will be allocated a Practice Educator and supported by a University Academic Contact.
Following a values based philosophical approach, the practice experience provides a work-based environment to enable you to apply the theoretical knowledge and skills learnt in academic module/s. It also aims to develop, consolidate, and enhance the practice knowledge, skills and professional behaviour and performance required for a midwife. Modular learning outcomes tested through a practice based assessment and specified essential skills must be achieved in each placement. The practice modules across the programme link with a nationally NMC validated Midwifery Ongoing Record of Achievement (MORA) portfolio whereby all practice activity will be evidenced.

Prior to your first practice-based learning module you will complete the interprofessional Simulation to Enhance Placement Success (STEPS) programme. An innovative and successful interprofessional learning opportunity designed to prepare you for a successful first placement.
