It will expose you to the latest technology associated with yacht and small craft experimental techniques.
This is a synoptic assessment module that comprises the two MCQ Papers at the end of the year along with revision sessions that help prepare students for this assessment. The BM programmes are highly contextualised and integrated programmes in which the application of knowledge and understanding, clinical skills and professional practice applicable to medicine are learned through a range of modules none of which are stand alone modules and therefore this module should be recognised by teachers and students alike as part of the whole year and programme. The Year 4 AKT Assessment in BM Year 4 is studied along with 5 other clinical teaching modules in Acute Care, Psychiatry, Specialty Weeks, Obstetrics & Gynaecology/GUM and Child Health; and a year long Medical Ethics & Law (MEL) module. The emphasis of the assessments for each of the modules aligns with the focus of learning for that module; however, the integrated nature of the course means that there will undoubtedly be overlap and aspects of the assessment in each module will draw upon learning from modules studied in earlier years as well as modules studied in that year. In addition, the MEL module and Year 4 assessment module have been purposely designed to assess learning outcomes covered in any of the 5 clinical modules from the year. The assessments will concentrate on the clinical subjects encountered in Year 4, namely child health, psychiatry, obstetrics and gynaecology with genitourinary medicine, acute care, and the specialties (head and neck, ophthalmology, dermatology, neurology). However, the assessments are synoptic, i.e. they take an inclusive overview of the BM Programme so far and will involve demonstrating application of scientific and medical principles learnt in previous years in the context of these types of patients. In this respect this module is designed to prepare students for the Year 5 AKT which is part of the GMC mandated medical licensing assessment (MLA). Whilst locally set the structure, design, content and format of the assessment is therefore closely aligned to the nationally set MLA AKT as defined by the medical schools council and regulated by the GMC. The assessment of this module consists of two papers typically sat on two separate days (often consecutive working days) which form a single assessment with full compensation allowed between them. The final mark will be a single mark incorporating both papers. Students must attend both papers to complete the assessment and for it to be marked. Any student who is unable to attend to sit both papers will be considered as if they had not attended the assessment at all. If a student only attends a single paper, then this paper will not be marked and the student cannot pass this module. Feedback on performance will not be provided on a partial attempt. A student who does not attend the first paper will be excluded from starting the second paper even if they attend.
This non-credit bearing module is a required element for all Humanities students on a Year Abroad Programme. It builds on the Year Abroad preparation module, HUMA2012. It is taken as a long thin single module whilst on the Year Abroad with a two hour preparation workshop before departure at the end of Year 2.
The YEAR Abroad Research Project is a 6000 word piece of independent academic writing which you complete in the target language during your residence abroad (or during the summer between your second and final year, in case of exemption from the Year Abroad or Contemporary European Studies with English).
The Year in Employment (YiE) is an opportunity for undergraduate students across a range of programmes to undertake a placement year whilst remaining enrolled to the University of Southampton. Students complete their placement after their second year of study in an industry of their choice for up to 12 months. The minimum period required for a placement under the Year in Employment is 30 weeks (or equivalent) based on the assumption of a 40-hour working week. Students receive support in preparing for placement applications and a placement induction prior to beginning their placement. Whilst on placement, students are asked to complete six optional blogs detailing their experiences. These blogs are designed to complement the learning outcomes of the Year in Employment. Blogs are completed via blackboard and students have access to a verity of resources to support their blog writing. Feedback is given on three of the six blogs that are submitted.
This is a year long module, which will include Personal Academic Tutor and Skills Sessions as per the timetable. This module is not formally assessed, and no credits are awarded for this module.
This is a core module for attendance and the completion of required NMC activities, skills and programme requirements.

Young people engage, and always have, in activity which is wrongful and harmful. How, as a liberal democratic society, should we respond to that behaviour? This is the central concern of this module. Through discussion of recent research, legislation and policy documents the module considers the present approach to youth justice in England Wales and draws upon theoretical and empirical scholarship, and some historical and comparative policy material, to subject that policy and practice to critical scrutiny.
Maximising the propulsive efficiency of ships is key to their economic effectiveness and in minimising their emissions of CO2, NOx and SOx. Advances in ship performance require a detailed understanding of the fluid dynamic mechanisms which control the flow around the hull creating resistance, the interaction of the hull wake with the propulsor and overall how the propulsor can be optimised based on the operational profile of the ship. Alongside this the methods whereby renewable resources such as wind and wave can contribute to ship propulsion will become an important element of design. The module takes a fundamental approach to ship resistance and propulsion examining in detail the latest experimental techniques for measuring resistance components and time varying flow fields, theoretical methods for predicting resistance and propeller performance at concept design and the use of computational fluid dynamic based approaches. The aim is is to provide a pathway towards the design of future zero carbon ships which minimise energy requirements and cost.
This module introduces the biodiversity, distribution and role of zooplankton in marine food webs, building on previous modules in the 1st year and semester 1 of the 2nd year. It will be taught via in-person lectures, workshops, laboratory and computer practicals.
