MEDI6266 2025-26
Foundations of Qualitative Research for Health
Understanding qualitative research methods and knowing how to interpret findings and conclusions from qualitative research is fundamental to being able to critique an evidence base. This module teaches you the underpinnings of qualitative research methods that are used in health research. You will develop the skills needed to critically appraise research when considering the results reported by others. -
MANG6322 2025-26
Foundations of Research in Accounting and Finance
There are two broad objectives to the module:
• The first objective is to introduce students to academic research concerned with social sciences in general and accounting, finance and management research, in particular. The course will therefore enhance students’ knowledge of the research process and methodology and enable them to be aware of the problems associated with research.
• The second main purpose is to prepare students for their dissertations. Guidance will be given as to how to proceed with their research, the choices available to them and an awareness of problems they may face. -

Foundations of Social Science Research: Philosophy, Design, & Practice
In this module, we will look at the dominant traditions in the philosophy of social science and how these have shaped substantive research within the study of the social sciences. Furthermore, we will deal with the practical challenges of designing and conducting research, including defining research questions, identifying appropriate methods, research management and problem solving, writing up research, ethical issues, and thinking reflexively about research practice.
By the end of this module you should be able to design and produce an original and viable research proposal that demonstrates your understanding of the utility of concrete methodological approaches and the appropriateness of the same for your concrete research question. -

LAWS2060 2026-27
Foundations of the Canadian Legal Order
This module will provide students with an understanding of the historical development, philosophical underpinnings, and structure of the Canadian legal system. In so doing, students will critically engage with the role of law in Canadian society, reflect on the plural nature of the country’s legal system, develop an awareness of the challenges to the efficient and equitable operation of the legal system, and examine the limits and possibilities of law as a vehicle for social change. -
SESA6088 2030-31
Fracture Mechanics and Fatigue for Lightweight Structures
This Level 7 module provides an advanced and application-oriented introduction to fracture mechanics, fatigue, and damage tolerance, with specific emphasis on lightweight structures used mainly in aerospace, but also in automotive, and energy sectors. Students will develop an understanding of crack initiation and propagation under static and cyclic loads, fracture parameters (K, G, J), fatigue life prediction methods, and structural integrity assessment. The module combines analytical formulations, numerical approaches, and laboratory-scale demonstrations to link theoretical principles with real structural applications. Case studies illustrate the behaviour of aluminium, titanium, and composite structures of aerospace interest under damage and environmental conditions.
The module prepares students for advanced structural design using damage tolerance principles and supports progression to research or specialist industrial roles in structural integrity, composites, and certification. -

Fragmented France: Cultures and Identities in Transition
This option will examine the relationship between French identity and culture since 1981 with the elections of François Mitterrand by exploring the ways in which identities of different social groups are expressed within the economic, political and cultural contexts of contemporary France. -
