This module covers the application of concepts and methods in contemporary microeconometrics to address various applied research questions using mainly individual level (e.g. firms, households) micro data. Many of the examples will come from labour, public and financial economics, but the techniques covered in this course are applicable to a wide range of fields.
This module provides a flexible, workshop-based approach to developing students' awareness of a range of research methods appropriate for students conducting research projects using mixed methods at postgraduate level in Educational settings.
The module consists of the main Oceanography undergraduate fieldcourse which takes place at the end of Semester 2 (late June to early July) following the exam period plus some work on report writing and data presentation in Semester 1 of the following academic year.
This module will enable healthcare practitioners to significantly expand their knowledge of pharmacology and the related clinical sciences. This knowledge applied in the clinical domain, will enhance their ability to assess and manage patients/clients presenting with acute health problems and/or complex long term conditions.
In this module students will build upon their learning in the preceding ‘Anatomy and Physiology 1’ module. Students will develop an understanding and insight into the key pathophysiological processes encountered in common disease conditions. This will include relevant aspects of ageing. In addition, students will be introduced to fundamental and applied aspects of pathophysiology, genomics, pharmacology and medicines management relevant to nursing practice.

This module provides a broad introduction to the applied use of plants in the modern world. The module will cover the production of transgenic (GM) plants and their applications in a variety of areas including medical biotechnology, nutrition, phytoremediation and biofortification. The use and potential improvement of plant biomass for biofuels will be covered. A further aspect of the module will look at the development of plants and plant culture systems for future use in supporting long term space exploration and colonisation.
The module provides a broad outline of the applications of plant biotechnology in the modern world. Where possible, general principles are developed alongside specific examples rather than giving exhaustive lists of detailed information. Plants are increasingly being utilised in a wide range of biotechnological applications. The cornerstone of utilising plants in biotechnology has been the ongoing development and improvement in generating transgenics (GM plants) in a range of species. The methods and principles in making transgenic plants will be covered in the module as well as looking at more traditional breeding strategies. The use of transgenic plants in medical applications, phyto- and bioremediation and biofortification will be covered. The current pressure to increase the generation of energy from sources of renewable plant material has made this a highly topical area. The biotechnological approaches being utilised to improve crops providing the raw materials as well as the methods to produce the biofuels will be covered. Planned future space exploration and potential colonisation of space will require sustainable plant based artificial ecosystems to be developed and as a result this is becoming an area of increasing interest.
This module provides a flexible, workshop-based approach to developing students' awareness of a range of research methods designed to collect qualitative data appropriate for students conducting research projects at postgraduate level in Educational settings.
This module builds on the foundations of qualitative research for health and will demonstrate how to apply these to qualitative research design. Key methods of data collection are explored further, alongside prominent analytical techniques used when conducting qualitative research. You will practise the skills needed to design and conduct qualitative research, as well as gain insight into the key practical and ethical considerations when conducting qualitative research for health.

The aim of the module is to equip the student with the knowledge and understanding of what good research is in the area of Audiology and how it is performed, with skills to critically appraise research and with skills to support their research project in FEEG6012. The module comprises a number of lectures on various topics around the concept of research, experimental design, gathering and analysing data. This will provide a broad overview of research methodologies that enables the students to design, perform, analyse and report an in-depth research project in Audiology.
