Each student undertakes an investigation which includes both practical and theoretical components. The theory component will consist of a critical review of the literature relating to the proposed experimental component of the project. The fieldwork is related to the appropriate degree programme. Each student is assigned to an appropriate supervisor who will advise on and direct the project and the preparation of a written report. The aim of this module is to allow students to carry out an extensive field-based project on a special topic related to his/her main area of study, and to complete a literature survey on a topic related to this area of research.

Within this module you will undertake a group field trip to one or more European capital cities which have a notable Jewish history and a link to the Holocaust through extant heritage sites and spaces of commemoration and learning. Examples of possible cities include: Warsaw, Vilnius, Kracow, Amsterdam, Budapest, Prague, Nuremberg. You will work as a team to organise your trip, choosing the destination, booking flights and accommodation, and deciding which sites and spaces to visit while there. During your trip you will explore how heritage sites present the Holocaust to their audience. Each of you will act as a guide for one of the sites you visit, creating a travel guide to that space.

If, for any reason, you are unable to travel, you can participate in this module virtually. You would record your guide of a site or commemorative space for the students taking the tour to listen to or give your presentation virtually. You will take a tour of the relevant sites online. The second assessment will be replaced by a 2000-word essay reflecting on the way the Holocaust is remembered and presented in the city(ies) and country of the walking tour, using digital resources made available by museums and commemorative spaces.

Over the last four hundred years progress in understanding the physical world (theoretical physics) has gone hand in hand with progress in the mathematical sciences, so much so that the terms applied mathematics and theoretical physics have come to be almost coterminous. Vector calculus is one of the main mathematical tools to study the world around us. Many physical quantities are described by vector or scalar fields. Examples include not only velocities and forces (particularly useful in fluid mechanics), but also particle displacements (useful in solid mechanics), and electric and magnetic fields (electromagnetism).

In this module we use the vector calculus as a tool to understand some basic theories in theoretical physics. We also introduce tensors and the tensor calculus. Tensors extend the idea of a vector. A tensor is a multi-index array (e.g. a matrix) with well-defined transformation rules under coordinate transformations.

This module applies vector calculus in fluid mechanics and electromagnetism. We concentrate on fluids which do not have any resistance to flow (inviscid fluid flow) and electromagnetiism in vaccum. The mathematical models we discuss all involve solutions of equations including vector derivatives (i.e. div, grad and curl and their tensor generalisations). A particularly interesting feature of our development is the close mathematical similarity between equations from different branches of theoretical physics.

This module introduces fundamental concepts in electric fields, electromagnetism and mechanics, as a foundation for more advanced topics in electromagnetic theory and mechanics.
It also equips students with basic techniques of engineering electromagnetism and engineering mechanics with emphasis on the application of these methods to the solution of typical problems.

Fieldwork is an integral part of the archaeological process. Whether through excavation or survey, it is one of the primary means by which archaeological data is generated. It is essential that students gain some experience of fieldwork in order to: develop comprehension of how the archaeological record is manifest; the techniques employed to scientifically investigate deposits, sites and landscape; and the means by which they are recorded. It combines the principles of both practice and theory. Fieldwork experience also provides invaluable transferable skills, such as problem solving, decision making, teamwork and personal responsibility.

At the core of this module is participation in at least three weeks of fieldwork and/or related activities by means of a field school or research project, and in certain cases post-excavation or similar activities. Through this, you will master the key skills of field and practical archaeology, and understand how new insights into past societies are generated 'at the trowel's edge'. You will be asked to consider the relationship between research designs and methods, and the way field projects are organised.

It is a requirement of all Archaeology degrees at Southampton, both single and joint honours, that they participate in at least three weeks of archaeological fieldwork, normally on a project organised by the University of Southampton.
