Advanced Aesthetics: Aesthetic Creativity
W.B. Yeats writes 'The Second Coming'. Jean Sibelius composes his seventh symphony. Paul Cezanne paints his tenth picture of Mont Sainte-Victoire. All three are clearly acting in artistically creative ways; but how should we understand what they do, what their creativity consists in? Is it a matter of inspiration? Or is it a matter of rationality? Or perhaps of self-expression? Or even of trial-and-error? Indeed, should we regard these suggestions as alternatives to one another, as if at most one of them might be true?
These are the issues that this module explores. Drawing on writings from Plato to Kant, from Nietzsche to the present day, the aim is to explain and assess some of the most philosophically significant answers to the question: What is artistic creativity? -
SOES6098 2030-31
Advanced Analytical Methods for Earth and Environmental Scientists
This module will introduce you to the advanced analytical laboratory and field skills required to be a modern analytical Earth and environmental scientist. The geochemical analysis of natural and anthropogenic materials is an essential part of many regulatory requirements and underpins many cutting-edge questions in both research and industry, from understanding our past climate, to monitoring of pollution, and finding new resources to power the green energy revolution. This course - condensed into a weeklong summer school - is a mix of local field work, lectures on analytical techniques and data analysis, and hands-on laboratory work using our cutting edge Geochemistry Laboratories (CERAS). By the end of the course, you will have the skills required to kick-start a career in analytical geoscience. -

Advanced Analytics
Having learnt the basic techniques and principles of business analytics in semester 1 modules, this module will introduce you to a number of advanced applications of business analytics in practice. These include data management using database engines, GLMs with embedded variable selection, big data solutions and technologies, and advanced models to extract complex non-linear patterns from large amounts of diverse data. The focus will be on the underlying principles, modelling methodologies, and implementation using appropriate software packages. -

Advanced Arid Environments Field Course (Namibia)
This advanced field course module is delivered as a residential fieldcourse to Namibia (primarily based at the Gobabeb Namib Research Institute). It is designed for students interested in all aspects of physical geography, human geography and environmental change, but will focus on a specific topic relevant to arid environments such as ephemeral river dynamics, plant and animal adaptations, dune processes, dust emission, coastal landscapes, stony deserts, water resources and drought, environment-human interactions, evolving urban landscapes, plastic management and reuse, conservation and ecotourism, historical and socio-economic context of Namibia, etc.
Though a number of local talks and walks through different arid and urban environments, students will be exposed to different topics and processes relevant to Namibia and arid lands in general. Along with visits to the natural and urban environments around Windhoek and the Skeleton Coast around Swakopmund, the trip will include time at a remote arid research institute where students will undertake projects in small groups.
This module will, through a combination of tutor-led discussion and group project work in the field, cover topics that are central to understanding complex arid environment issues. -
