Barrios and Borders: Language and Identity amongst US Latinos
This module will introduce the main theoretical ideas of language and identity alongside tracing the historical, social and linguistic background to the presence of the so-called Latinos in the USA. By considering a range of texts, as well as cultural output such as music, film and literature, you will develop an understanding of the key themes and experiences of the Latino communities and how they negotiate and challenge their place in contemporary US society. The module will look at the role that the Spanish language plays in Latino identities – linguistic vitality, transmission to new generations, and the phenomenon of translanguaging or 'Spanglish'. -

Basic Epidemiology
This module focuses on the basic epidemiological methods and approaches that underpin an evidence-based approach to public health research and practice. The module covers each of the main types of epidemiological study design and provides a framework for critically assessing each method, differentiating association from causation, basic principles of screening and prevention. The module includes sessions on epidemiological study designs, chance, bias, confounding, measures of disease frequency and risk estimation and hypothesis testing. The module also provides guidance as to how to critically appraise published studies. -

Basic Naval Architecture
Ships, offshore structures and other marine vehicles must float safely, remain stable in challenging environmental conditions and operate efficiently throughout their service lives. Understanding the behaviour of floating bodies is therefore fundamental to naval architecture and underpins the design, construction and operation of almost every maritime system.
In this module, you will develop an understanding of the principles that govern flotation, buoyancy, stability and hydrostatics. Through analytical problem-solving and engineering applications, you will learn how naval architects assess the performance and safety of marine vehicles and make informed design decisions. Alongside the technical principles, you will begin to explore the wider responsibilities of engineers to society, safety and the environment.
By the end of the module, you will be able to analyse the fundamental hydrostatic behaviour of floating bodies and apply these principles to real maritime engineering problems. The knowledge and confidence gained will provide an essential foundation for future study in ship design, marine structures, hydrodynamics and professional naval architecture practice. -
SESS1015 2025-26
Basic Naval Architecture
This module will provide you with an introduction to the fundamental properties of floating bodies, covering those areas conventionally treated by hydrostatic methods and will provide students with an early insight into a range of tasks involved in the design, construction, management and operation of marine vehicles and an awareness of an engineer's responsibility to society.
Students should be aware that this module requires good grades at A level Mathematics and Physics or equivalent qualifications. -

Battery Materials and Characterisation
This module examines key features of cell design and of materials used in batteries. It links this to a range of techniques that are commonly used to study cell architecture and structure, composition and surface chemistry of battery materials. Emphasis is placed on the operando use of these techniques and on reading of the associated literature.
