Introduction to German Studies
This module is designed to provide you with a broad introduction to the culture, history and language of Germany and other German-speaking countries. By studying various types of primary and secondary sources, you will become familiar with a wide range of themes, events and ideas from this region.

Introduction to Global Prehistory: Deconstructing the Emergence of Civilisation
As the ice sheets retreated and the global climate began to stabilise at the beginning of the Holocene c. 12,000 years ago, humans began to create new ways of living. The story of our human past usually tells this tale as one of a move away from mobile hunter gathering ways of existence, towards settled, agricultural communities of the Neolithic: with an associated growth in property, centralisation, and hierarchy. The usual conclusion of this narrative is the exploitative, extractive and profoundly unequal ‘civilisation’ we live in today.
But what do we mean by the term ‘civilisation’? Gordon Childe famously listed a number of key characteristics of a society that enabled it to be labelled as ‘civilisation’, including the use of writing and monumental architecture. This module offers a thematic exploration—and explosion—of some of these core narratives about the human past—including ideas of ‘progress’, ‘diffusion’, ‘power’, and the link between subsistence and social formation. Throughout, we will explore the diversity of prehistoric Holocene human societies across the globe and through time. -

Introduction to Graphic Communication
This module introduces the essential principles of the Graphic Communication programme and gives you the opportunity to understand and examine the key skills and working methods required for your studies at Higher Education. As well as engaging in practical activity you will learn how what you create is enhanced by critical thinking and contextual knowledge. You will be introduced to key techniques and processes and develop knowledge and understanding that will inform and underpin all aspects the programme. This will include learning skills in design, type, motion and illustration. You are likely to develop new and exciting skills and knowledge in areas which you may not have previously explored. This module will also give you opportunities to gain critical and practical confidence as well as experience new ways of thinking through making. -

Introduction to Hearing Science and Technology
This module provides you with a deep understanding of the fundamental science and technology underlying clinical hearing assessment and rehabilitation. It will include a foundation in the epidemiology of hearing loss, the biology of the hearing system, the psychology of sound perception, the physics of sound, the principles of hearing technology and how those areas inter-relate. These subjects will be taught with a strong emphasis on their relevance to audiological assessment and rehabilitation. No assumptions are made about your background in these except that you completed maths and science at GCSE level or equivalent. This module works closely with Biopsychosocial Basis of Audiology, which provides you with a more general introduction to neurobiology, psychology and other relevant themes. This module also works with Biopsychosocial Basis of Audiology to provide you with a series of sessions on academic skills across the year in order to support you make the transition to undergraduate study in a scientific discipline. -
