Engineering Replacement Body Parts

Do you want to find out how stem cells are being used to help treat disease and allow us to live better, for longer? And are you interested in the controversy surrounding them?

Do you want to find out what tissue engineering is, and how scientists are building replacement organs in the lab?

Are you fascinated by how engineering can help those who have lost limbs walk, and allow those who are deaf to hear again? And also how these same technologies may lead to ethical and legal questions concerning their correct use in society?

If the answer to any of these questions is yes, you will enjoy learning about this fascinating subject in this innovative module. No prerequisite knowledge is necessary, so don't be daunted by the science, engineering, ethics or legal aspects of this module.

The module explores the potential of stem cells, engineered tissues and implanted devices in medicine, and how these technological advances may have an impact on law and ethics of our societies. The module will use a number of learning methods, including traditional lectures, interactive seminars, facilitated group discussion, a mock 'trial', a field trip to a medical device manufacturer, laboratory masterclasses, and design project work.

During the module, you will both learn about the science underlying the new technologies in question, and you will be encouraged to discuss the impact of these emerging technologies on our societies in the future. Particular emphasis will be placed on the ethics of some of the technologies and how the use can be encouraged and their misuse prevented.

LING6042 (2026-27)

English as medium of instruction in global education

This module explores sociolinguistic and pedagogical dimensions of English Medium Education and CLIL classrooms around the world. EME/I is an umbrella term for multilingual education programmes where English is used as a medium of instruction to teach and learn content subjects. While the focus is often on learning content through English, many educational institutions are resorting to EME/CLIL to promote English language learning too. EMI education is spreading at significant rates in Higher Education settings all across the world, including countries like China or Spain where English is not spoken as a first language or is known to have postcolonial ties. Drawing from cutting-edge research on the subject, the course investigates the explicit and hidden motivations behind the spread of EMI (e.g. language learning, student recruitment); it examines the promises, opportunities and challenges associated to EMI policy-making and its implementation; and it scrutinises situated language practices, beliefs and outcomes emerging across a wide range of international HE settings. The course invites you to reflect on your own learning experiences and consider what pedagogical and linguistic choices you would make as an EMI/CLIL educator, without losing sight of the need for context-dependent analyses when approaching EMI.
ENGL6135 (2026-27)

English Dissertation

This module allows you to undertake independent research, with guidance from a supervisor, to produce an in-depth, scholarly study of an aspect or body of literature which particularly interests you.

Every student will have a supervisor appointed for the dissertation; though it is important that students recognise that the dissertation is an independent research project and they must take responsibility for its progress and for the final dissertation text. Advice on dissertations given during the supervisory process cannot be taken to guarantee a particular outcome for the piece of work, as this is determined by a separate and independent examination process.
ENGL3016 (2026-27)

English Dissertation

Undertaking independent research into an aspect of literature or creative writing which particularly interests you is a cornerstone of your degree. A dissertation gives you the opportunity to study a subject in much greater depth than usual and, with guidance from a supervisor, you will rigorously explore your literary or creative topic, formulate a research question and develop a distinctive argument or creative project. A dissertation can also form a good basis if you wish to go on to study at postgraduate level.
ENGL3102 (2026-27)

English Language and Literature Dissertation

The BA English Language and Literature Dissertation enables you to bring together the fruits of your studies in English Literature, Language, and Linguistics or to focus on one or the other field according to your interests. You may choose a topic within English Literature, within English Language and Linguistics, or combine these fields. You will independently develop a topic for study that pursues your interests, and develop it with the support of your supervisor(s). An optional joint supervision arrangement between English and Languages, Cultures, and Linguistics will enable you to access supervision in both disciplines and support you to bring linguistic, literary, and cultural studies approaches together, as appropriate to your chosen topic.

English on the Move

English has always been on the move. As a literary language, it has not only travelled from and back to England; lines of influence between texts, authors, publishers, editors, book technologies, and readers traverse the globe in multiple directions, between many places. Correspondingly, literary genres have always been mobile. They have taken shape and become significant in different ways across world cultures, and through encounters between different languages. This module gives you the opportunity to explore how ‘English’ as a literary language; as an overlapping range of imaginative genres; and as an academic discipline has always been in transit.

HIST3261 (2026-27)

Entangled Histories: France and Germany in the mid-century era (Part 1)

This module explores the entangled histories of France and Germany between WW1 and the end of WW2. Resentment over the Treaty of Versailles was central to the emergence of radical nationalism in Germany after 1918; conversely, solving the ‘German problem’ was at the heart of French concerns in the interwar years. The German occupation of France between 1940 and 1944 brought these histories to a head in the most fundamental way. Yet this shared history was not governed solely by the politics of national antagonism. Both societies had much in common, calling into question our conventional assumptions about democracy and dictatorship, Left and Right in twentieth century European history.
Ultimately, the module questions the insularity and exceptionalism underpinning traditional national historiographies by exploring such entanglements
HIST3262 (2026-27)

Entangled Histories: France and Germany in the mid-century era (Part 2)

This module explores Franco-German history between the Fall of France (1940) and the end of the 1950s. The first half focusses on the German occupation of France, exploring aspects of everyday life, collaboration and resistance, violence and the Holocaust. The second explores defeat, reconstruction, reconciliation and war memory, culminating in the signature of the Treaty of Rome, the establishment of the post-war economic boom, and the end of the fourth French Republic. Throughout the module we foreground themes of transnational encounter, comparative methods, and the constantly entangled nature of Franco-German history.
MANG6532 (2026-27)

Enterprise Risk Management and Insurance

The module provides practical insight into the workings of the corporate risk and insurance profession. Emphasising corporate risk management’s strong reliance upon corporate insurance programmes, it also introduces the broader range of risk retention and transfer options available today. The module is in two parts. The first part explores corporate risk management from the senior management/board supervisory standpoint of enterprise risk management. This serves to enable students to become familiar with corporate risk management processes and with closely linked internal control and governance issues in general. Furthermore the module’s concern with enterprise risk management development provides a critical perspective for contemplating improvements to corporate risk management, both generally and more particularly through nuanced understandings of what it can mean to integrate risk management within organisations. The second part of the module covers the practical knowledge which risk managers require of the insurance industry. While emphasising traditional insurance purchase and claims issues it also introduces broader risk financing options which corporate risk managers may use to control enterprise risk. Important principles guiding insurance practices and insurer-insured relationships are also elucidated using landmark insurance case law.

The academic discipline of entrepreneurship will also be examined in order to provide a theoretical background, and to investigate what we currently know (and don't know) about new venture success.
GGES3010 (2026-27)

Environment and Health

Health and the provision of health care are important issues in our everyday lives. Many of the debates surrounding health are inherently spatial in nature and as such geographers are well placed to play an important role in informing research and providing evidence for decision making. This module aims to develop an in-depth understanding of the concepts, methods and applications involved in evaluating links between the environment and health. In this context, we define ‘environment’ in its broadest sense, incorporating aspects of the natural, built, social, economic and cultural environment, all of which we argue have a potentially important role to play in determining our health. In this module, we focus particularly on aspects of the built, social and economic environment, employing predominantly quantitative approaches to the study of environment and health. By the end of the module, students should be able to critically evaluate contemporary developments in health from a geographical perspective.
LAWS1029 (2026-27)

Environment, Sustainability and International Law

In an interconnected world, global challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution (the 'triple planetary crisis') require, inter alia, international co-operation. Such co-operation, including through the conclusion of international treaties, has implications for national sovereignty. At the same time, domestic priorities – and their evolution – influence the interpretation and implementation of international commitments. For example, in the context of climate change, the UK became the first country to set binding emission reduction targets, via national legislation, in response to international commitments. On the other hand, planned (national) developments in the energy and transport sectors, considered beneficial for job creation, energy security and investment, are apparently at odds with the country’s climate change commitments - also highlighting tensions between the socio-economic and environmental pillars of sustainable development, respectively.

Against this background, the Environment, Sustainability and International Law module will explore sustainable development, a key concept underpinning international environmental law, and to which all UN member states have committed, but which has proven contentious in practice. Using environment- and sustainability-related case studies, the module will focus on developing understanding of how law is shaped, including through the interaction between priorities and commitments at different levels of government. In so doing, the module also provides an introduction to concepts and issues that will be encountered in later parts of the degree.

SOES3008 (2026-27)

Environmental and Engineering Geology

This module examines current topics in environmental and engineering geology – the practical application of geoscience principles in the solving of environmental and engineering problems. Through a mix of lecture, discussion and practical sessions, you will cover various aspects of environmental geochemistry and radioactivity, hydrology/hydrogeology, and engineering geology and show how the interconnections between these and other academic areas (oceanography, biology, geography, geomorphology, civil engineering etc.) allow the better understanding and management of major and complex contemporary issues such as Nuclear Decommissioning, Water Resource, Offshore Renewable Energy Development, Carbon Capture and Storage, Urban Regeneration, Waste Management, Public Health and Environmental Protection. The module develops a range of wider skills relevant to employers, including numeracy and analysis skills, problem solving and group working.
FILM3040 (2026-27)

Environmental Cinema and Media

There is now an overwhelming scientific and political consensus that climate change is occurring as a result of human activity and that there is an urgent need for action to address the causes and effects of this. This module will consider the place of film, television, and digital media in this global crisis and ask what we, as film students and scholars, can contribute to ongoing debates and initiatives.

Cinema is inextricably linked with the exploitation of fossil fuels, the modernity they supported, and the resulting environmental impact. While fossil fuels had been consumed for hundreds of years before the arrival of moving image technology, the twentieth century saw an exponential growth in energy consumption, and especially the turn towards petroleum usage. Like any industry, cinema and television consume resources in its production and consumption. Yet cinema has also shaped our understanding and use of natural resources. Nature programmes construct our idea of what the environment is. Advertising promotes consumption. Narrative fictions can likewise glamourise products, lifestyles and behaviours, or depict the catastrophic effects of climate change. Cinema is used as a tool within many industries for scientific and educational purposes. New media have also been adopted by activists and politicians to enact change.

This module will provide an opportunity to examine these myriad relationships and impacts between cinematic media and the environment. It will look at familiar narrative feature films from this new perspective and introduce new examples and types of moving image practice and their aesthetic models. It will encourage students to explore interdisciplinary understandings of media and their role in the world.
GGES1003 (2026-27)

Environmental Field Techniques and Applications

This module is designed to provide you with hands-on experience of a wide range of contemporary environmental issues and techniques, and an understanding of how we make use of data to answer environment related research questions. The module is primarily delivered during a residential field trip (prevailing circumstances permitting). During the first part of the trip, you will visit different environments and learn key data collection strategies. The second part of the trip will involve undertaking a group research project, which offers you the opportunity to put into practice the skills learnt across the core Environmental Science curriculum from your first year.
GGES2001 (2026-27)

Environmental Impact Assessment

This module examines the process of assessing the potential impacts of major developments on the environment- known worldwide as Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).

The module has two major themes. In the first part of the module emphasis is placed on the philosophy of EIA, and the legal and planning framework in which EIA is used. The second, more practical part, focuses on selected major impacts/issues which need to be considered as part of environmental assessment and the approaches to baseline surveys used by various disciplines to assess and monitor environmental change.

Students should gain an intellectual feel for approaches to environmental management and decision-making- plus practically orientated exposure to the approaches used in assessing impacts.
Students will concentrate on EIA procedures in the UK, and on the way in which the process integrates different disciplines and different interest groups. At the completion of the course students should be able to judge whether or not a particular project would require an EIA; how such an assessment be produced, what steps would be needed to undertake a baseline survey, how impacts might be mitigated and monitored. They should also be able to discuss critically the strengths and weaknesses of the system and the methods available. Case studies and examples of practice from around the world are also included in the module.

Practice in researching and writing a detailed report as part of a proposed EIA will be provided through the major coursework exercise, examining a fictional (but not unlikely) local scenario.
LAWS3175 (2026-27)

Environmental Justice and the Law

The module explores the concept of environmental justice and looks at the role of law in both aggravating and addressing environmental injustices. In an age of climate and biodiversity crises, the idea of environmental justice is at the heart of many of the most contentious and urgent debates in environmental law, at both the domestic and international level. In this module, students will have the opportunity to discuss and research a wide range of environmental law themes and issues (including access to clean water, mining and extraction, climate change, biodiversity and extinctions, plastic and pollution, animal rights, fisheries and the ocean, among others) and gain an understanding of the social, economic, political and environmental justice dimensions of each of these themes. In each class, students will learn about and discuss important case studies and case law, and in this way gain an expansive understanding of how law responds to (and creates) environmental problems, and how those affected by environmental injustice use the law to resist environmental harm.
GGES3000 (2026-27)

Environmental Law and Management

This module will enable students to apply their understanding of environmental problems and assess potential solutions through the application of law, policy, and management. The lecture sessions will introduce and analyse the theoretical development and structure of a legislative and management theme, followed up with an assessment of the application the law and management through practical exercises and discussion of case studies. There will be a focus on what the legislation, policy and environmental management will mean to students when they are working with businesses, government (national and local), and the public after graduation. The over-riding philosophy of the module is to explore how the application of environmental management and enforcement of legislation can lead to positive environmental changes in the commercial and domestic sectors. The emphasis in this class will be on discussion and group exercises.
Students will be encouraged to participate in debates at every opportunity as opposed to traditional lecture-based classes.
Students from outside the School of Geography and Environmental Science wishing to take this module should contact the module lead to discuss their academic background and determine if this module is suitable.
GGES6005 (2026-27)

Environmental Law and Management Systems

This module will enable students to apply their understanding of environmental problems in business and practice, and assess potential solutions through the application of law, policy, and management. The lecture sessions will introduce and analyse the theoretical development and structure of a legislative theme, followed up with an assessment of the application and management of the law through discussion of case studies. There will be a focus on what the legislation, regulation, and policy will mean to students when they are working with businesses, government (national and local), and the public after graduation. The over-riding philosophy of the module is to explore how the application and enforcement of legislation and regulation can lead to positive environmental changes in the industrial, commercial and political sectors. The emphasis in this class will be on discussion and group exercises. Students will be encouraged to participate in debates at every opportunity as opposed to traditional lecture based classes.

Environmental Science: Concepts and Communication

This module focuses on environmental issues across a range of themes and provides a focal point for the first year of the undergraduate Environmental Science programmes, in terms of knowledge and understanding, and study skills. The module considers knowledge and understanding of the environment in an inter- and multi-disciplinary basis. The summative coursework assignment works towards combining and analysing information to enable prediction of change and response to interventions. The seminars demonstrate the wide variety of information which is available about the environment, and the ways in which information can be drawn together to understand environmental processes and to inform decisions regarding the environment. Good practice and efficiency in study are introduced via elements of lectures and tutorials. Approaches to developing and reinforcing the generic and subject specific skills needed to be an effective environmental scientist are also provided.

Lecture sessions are used as a means to present and consider contemporary environmental issues, and to augment academic and employability skills. Lecture sessions on key skills are aligned with and complementary to tutorials. Tutorial activities and tasks have two main purposes: (1) to reinforce and develop further the academic skills introduced in lectures (e.g. via guided self-study exercises), and (2) encourage student-centred learning via formative assessments focusing on contemporary environmental topics or themes.
