This module focuses on atypical development. It will give develop your knowledge, understanding and skills in the identification and assessment of children and young people whose learning difficulties are observed infrequently (‘low incidence’ needs). It will also consider more specialised assessment techniques and provisions required for pupils with major learning needs. This module will also focus on developing your knowledge of appropriate evidenced based interventions to address these needs.

This second-year module will present a broad introduction to the field of cognitive neuroscience. This module will focus on how psychological theories of the mind are informed by neuropsychological and neuroscientific evidence. Topics covered include: hemispheric specialization; sensation & perception; object recognition; attention; action; memory; emotion; language; and cognitive control. This module takes a convergence of evidence approach and to that end students will learn about the mind-brain relationship from research using a variety of techniques including (but not limited to): functional and structural neuroimaging; neurophysiological recordings in animals; electroencephalography (EEG); magnetoencephalography (MEG); brain stimulation techniques; studies of lesions and brain damage; as well as studies from patient and clinical populations. Finally, lectures and assessments will help students think, ask questions, and evaluate scientific evidence like a cognitive neuroscientist.

This module is designed to provide you with an overview of the human cognitive system and its principles of information processing, demonstrating how these have been applied to understanding learning at different educational levels and in different educational domains. It will introduce you to theories and empirical research about how information is perceived, represented and stored in the brain, and how it is used during thinking and communication. It will give you practical experience of using some of the research methods that have been used to develop these theories, and outline how they have been applied to learning in different educational domains.

Cold War is a peculiar conflict. Often seen as a confrontation between the Socialist East and Capitalist West, the Cold War is typically depicted as a bloodless standoff. In such interpretations, the Iron Curtain isolated Western from Eastern Europeans. Trapped in authoritarian, socialist regimes, the latter are depicted as yearning for the USA to break the stalemate and defeat the evil Soviet Empire. Jewish history helps us to shatter such stereotypical interpretations. From the vantage point of both Israel and the diaspora (Jews living outside of Israel), we can see the transnational contacts and conflicts in ways we would not see them from a solely national perspective. By following in the footsteps of Jewish survivors rebuilding their lives on both sides of the Iron Curtain, we can explore a new take on the history of the Cold War.

This module engages you in research and knowledge exchange projects through one of three practice-led collaborative briefs, open to students from any WSA undergraduate programme. Using interdisciplinary learning to embed the practice of collaboration within and across disciplines at WSA, this collaborative project module supports the University's goal of enabling curiosity, engagement, entrepreneurial and responsible qualities to help you thrive in your future lives and work. The module enables creative collaboration around the concept, design, presentation, promotion and knowledge exchange. The capacity for collective work is essential to develop new insights to address shared problems around life quality, sustainability and societal inclusion.

The module equips you to problem-solve and form collaborative ideas confidently and professionally, adopting experimental approaches across Art School disciplines to realise creative responses and managed solutions. Project briefs will take advantage of the learning opportunities afforded by the campus, the local community, and social practices labs and digital environments. Thinking of the WSA diverse communities as a 'living laboratory' will engage you with learning about how to negotiate to work with others, build relationships, and communicate visually and verbally across disciplines and how this relates to your own discipline and practice.
