Research tells us that CBT is an effective and efficient way of treating a variety of common mental health problems, leading to widespread adoption across the UK for both children and adults. But does it deliver in practice everything that it promises in theory? In this module, you will learn the key characteristics of CBT therapy and the skills required to deliver this successfully. You will also learn how CBT has been implemented and delivered in the UK health service, as well as the current challenges and limitations associated with this. The module will also help you to consider how to develop the skills and resilience needed for a career in clinical practice, with the chance to learn from current practitioners. Please note, completing this module you will not be sufficient to enable students to undertake any form of clinical practice.
This module explores the development of celebrity in Britain 1888-1952, focusing particularly upon the influence of technologies and mass media. The years between the late 1880s and early 1950s saw a massive expansion in printed and visual media, and this module charts representations of celebrity from the pages of illustrated newspapers (from the late 1880s) to modern technicolour film (1952), via turn-of-the-century developments in silent film, the 1920s invention of radio, and advances in photography. In studying this module you will have two main goals. Firstly, to gain an understanding of the chronology and personalities in the history of celebrity in late-nineteenth and early/mid-twentieth-century Britain, and the uses that celebrity was put to in endorsing political and social causes and consumer lifestyles. Secondly, to consider how the primary source materials you study not only document these individuals and historical moments, but also take on a key role in shaping celebrity. In each session on our module you will be introduced to a different genre of primary source, and will explore what light it sheds upon celebrity in our period. Sources to be studied include biographies; autobiographies; newspapers; magazines; photographs; paintings; letters; radio programmes and radio journalism; film; and material culture sources (for example, cigarette card collections and consumer goods). Our focus is on debates around celebrity in Britain, but we will also think closely about the argument for the ‘Americanisation’ of British popular culture across our time period in relation to the growing international reach of mass media.
This module develops the basic concepts of protein structure and function within the overall context of their roles within the cell. Major themes in the course are intracellular cell signalling and extracellular communication, protein and vesicle targeting and bioenergetics. Lectures will be accompanied by practicals, some of which involve the use of animal tissue, with alternatives in place if required to meet minimum learning outcomes.
The module comprises an introduction/revision to inflammatory mediators and a detailed survey of the way that they interact in different diseases. This information is integrated in the context of a number of human diseases affecting a range of different tissues within the body. Strategies that are used to devise new therapeutic approaches to inflammatory disease are discussed within each topic.

The aim of this module is to provide an understanding of the molecular and cellular basis of brain function. We will use examples of specific molecules and cell-cell interactions to provide explicit details of such function to highlight core principles of neuronal development, ion channel function, synaptic transmission and membrane excitability. Following this module, students will be expected to be able to integrate molecular information into a coherent concept of the cellular basis of neuronal function.
