The aim of the course is to provide a modern view of computer-based data analysis, from the statistical point of view. The course is intended for students with a solid basic background in probability, statistical methods, and computing, and who aim to build on this background. Topics are covered at a brisk pace; to make the best of this course, students can expect to put in significant self-study. - MATH1024 and MATH2010 or equivalent maturity with Probability and Statistics - Basic familiarity with programming in matlab or R or equivalent.
This module provides a great deal of key skills training that will prepare students for a career beyond this programme, whether that be a career in academia or in the workplace. The module also encourages students to take part in lively discussions and debates, enhancing their spoken presentation and debating skills. These skills will be vital for students’ dissertations later in the year.
The primary goal is to provide students with necessary programming background andmathematical skills that are necessary for their degree course and developing further skills in machine learning and artificial intelligence. The emphasis throughout will be on developing insight, understanding and practical skills as well as a solid mathematical background.
The module will convey concepts and ideas involved in nanoscience and nanotechnology to a broad range of physical scientists. The course is intended to provide a guide to the ideas and physical concepts that allow an understanding of the changes that occur as the size scale shrinks toward the atomic scale. Because the field is extremely interdisciplinary, the course will mainly introduce many pervasive concepts such as how to measure on the nanometer scale. A critical theme is the modification of properties by controlling electrons.
Concurrent Space Systems Design builds on the understanding and knowledge gained from the Astronautics modules in years 2 and semester 1 in year 3. You will learn how to place those “building blocks” of space engineering into the context of a group spacecraft design project. In the taught portion, you will learn about industrial systems engineering processes, the standards that govern space systems engineering, as well as experiment design for system validation and space systems security to make your mission cyber secure. Parallel to that you will work in small groups to develop all relevant subsystems for a spacecraft in a mission of your own choosing following best industry practices and design principles for space systems engineering.
This module will allow you to explore the requirements for conducting research in clinical and health settings. It is particularly suited to those working in clinical research and those who are planning an empirical research study in clinical and health settings.
Students will recognise and demonstrate an understanding of conservation issues along a spectrum ranging from individual animals, through to populations (including conservation genetics), reintroductions, habitat restoration and anthropogenic sources of conflict. Based on case studies of ongoing conservation work this module highlights a solution-conscious approach to the challenges faced by the modern conservationist. The interdependency between animals, people and ecosystems is well illustrated by the WHO's One Health model, a unifying approach that recognises the close link between the health of these groups, articulated in internal legal frameworks. One Health can be highly useful when applied in a conservation context; however the model itself is centered on health, not the conservation of nature. Marwell Wildife's conservation science team work within the concept of Conservation Health , to encompass the interdependencies-based, and conservation-focused approach to assisting nature’s recovery. As a student on the programme, you will be a part of discussions and research in order to support nature’s recovery from two perspectives: Health and Connection; Knowledge exchange and innovation. Emphasis is placed upon how these approaches are crucial for informing real world conservation decision-making, relating to wildlife.
This module will provide you with valuable ecological surveying and species identification techniques within the context of conservation priorities for a local and unique national park, the New Forest, through a series of day trips in order to complete a research project. You will be able to build on the taxonomic skills you gained in BIOL1001. You will focus on UK wildlife and identify to species level, a valuable employability skill, particularly if you are interested in pursuing a career in ecological consultancy. The New Forest national park is a mosaic of ancient and ornamental woodland, open heaths, rivers and valley mires, with a coastline of mudflats and saltmarshes. The variety of habitat types means there is a huge diversity of plant and animal species, including 29 nationally important species. As a result the New Forest has a designated Special Area of Conservation, a Special Protection Area and a Ramsar site, which together cover 29,000 hectares. These conservation areas and the New Forest national park are managed by a partnership of organisations, all with the aim of restoring and maintaining biodiversity. This requires not only knowledge of the New Forest and also practical skills, such as ecological surveying and species identification, in order to provide evidence-based recommendations for management. The skills gained in this module will allow you design and implement a research project which will contribute to the New Forest Landscape Partnership's priority 4a) Biodiversity monitoring: to identify sites for restoration, enhancement and improved management. Your research project will also align with the New Forest's Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP). As a result your project findings will provide evidence-based recommendations for management of the New Forest national park and conservation areas. The real-world focus of the research project will require the more advanced skills taught in this module, building on those covered in the first year field course. Teaching sessions will be accompanied by practical work which involves animal observation, with alternatives in place if required to meet minimum learning outcomes.
This module will consolidate your midwifery education and provide you with strong links to clinical practice for the theoretical underpinning knowledge you have acquired. You will have the opportunity to attend simulated practice sessions in this module, designed around decision making, patient safety, multi-disciplinary team working, and becoming an autonomous practitioner. This module is especially linked with the Autonomous Midwifery Practice module.
This module considers the foundational principles underpinning the UK constitutional settlement and law. You will study the historical development of the UK constitution and its unwritten character, the key constitutional principles underpinning constitutional governance; including Parliamentary Sovereignty, Rule of Law, Separation of Powers and Judicial Independence. The module also critically examines the development of rights protection and the enactment of the Human Rights Act 1998. Finally, the module looks at the centrality of administrative law and judicial protection to the accountability of public power within the UK Constitution. You will study the grounds of judicial review and critically evaluate developments in administrative justice.

The Module provides a critical reflection on the development and state of constitutional law in Canada. We will reflect on the way constitutional law founded the transition from colony to constitutional state. Furthermore the module considers how, in contemporary Canada, constitutional law is called upon to mediate deep historical social divisions and tensions and also to foster a social and political culture of tolerance and equality.
The Module provides a critical reflection on the development and state of constitutional law in Canada. We will examine the core content of Canadian constitutional law in its historical and theoretical context(s). In the process, we will gain an understanding of and be able to analyse each of its core components (viz., federalism, human rights, and Indigenous rights).
Consulting is a major global industry and understanding how consulting works is important both for students who might be interested in a consulting career and also for students who may need to purchase consulting and work with consultants in their career. In addition the consultative approach to problem-solving is a powerful set of skills and methods that can be used by any professional in their work. This Module provides an in-depth review of consulting and the consultative approach. It uses a mix of lectures, seminars and practical exercises to enable students to understand consulting methods and approaches, hear real-world examples of consulting case studies and have the opportunity to practice consulting methods. This module aims to introduce a range of skills required to successfully engage in management consultancy and to provide opportunities to apply particular skills. This is a challenging module requiring students to have good analytical and communication skills as the lecture(s) and assignment will require working in groups, analysis, presentation and report writing.
This module runs alongside Psychology in Professional Practice 1. During the first year of training you are placed in a primary and secondary school with a field tutor. The field tutor demonstrates casework skills, undertakes casework collaboratively with you, and facilitates you taking on casework independently. You may also undertake some school based project work, working at an organisational level. Over the course of the year you will undertake casework with increasing independence following a model of systematic psychological problem solving. By the end of the module you can expect to complete two pieces of casework in a primary school, and one in a secondary school. One primary and one secondary are submitted as Reports of Casework and form 80% of the module assessment. One of the pre-requisites for PSYC8043, PSYC8044, PSYC8045 and PSYC8046
This module aims to provide you with the opportunity to become fluent in consultative casework addressing high incidence needs and with a range of problem owners relating to the perceived needs of children and young people (0-25) through the processes of consultation, assessment, intervention and review. This module also enables you to develop greater independence in casework and to address a broader range of problem areas. Casework should demonstrate consideration of non-discriminatory and non-oppressive issues. One of the pre-requisites for PSYC8044 and PSYC8046
