The Ancient World has profoundly influenced subsequent generations of history, and helps us to understand the foundations of today’s world. This module provides an introduction to this momentous period of history from Dark Age Greece to the emergence of Islam. We will explore major civilisations including Classical Greece, the Hellenistic world, the Roman Republic, the rise and fall of the Roman Empire and the Byzantine Empire up to the rise of Islam. This module will introduce you to central themes in Greek, Roman and Byzantine history, assessing political processes, socio-cultural changes and ideological developments. A wide array of evidence will be investigated from the literary to the material and visual, such as historical writings, art, architecture, archaeology, inscriptions, and philosophy. Throughout we will ask major questions: what were the key turning points and markers of change in the Ancient World? What were the distinctive features of the major ancient civilisations? How did the dominant civilisations interact with other cultures and societies under their rule? Importantly, we will also investigate the reception of the Ancient World: how has it been understood by subsequent generations and what is its significance and impact throughout history? In this way, the module will provide you with an overview and important background knowledge that will support you in the rest of your degree and beyond.

This module is designed to provide you with a broad introduction to the diverse cultures and histories of the Portuguese-speaking or ‘Lusophone’ world. By studying various texts, films, images and digital materials, from the fifteenth century to the twenty-first, you will become familiar with a wide range of themes, events and ideas from across the three main regions of the Portuguese-speaking world: Portugal, Brazil and Portuguese-speaking Africa.

All written texts are available in English translation, and all films are available with English subtitles, allowing students with little or no prior knowledge of Portuguese language or the Portuguese-speaking world to engage with the module.

This module will consolidate and expand your specialist cardiac knowledge and practice. You will be introduced to invasive cardiology including cardiac catheterisation led procedures and cardiac rhythm management (CRM). These invasive procedures detect, quantify and treat cardiac pathologies. Clinical specialists will guide and support you through this fascinating complex world ready for your year 3 clinical placement and work towards becoming a qualified cardiac physiologist.

During this module you will explore some of the new and innovative practices and challenges facing education. The module begins by examining innovation in a wider sense, such as the changing curriculum or the challenges of globalisation, but then moves to a closer examination of eLearning, one of the more noticeable challenges facing education practices.

The module brings together a range of ideas, subject-matter and methods of making, to open up deeper understanding of the scope and potential of contemporary art practice. There is an emphasis on non-traditional media, encompassing performance and the digital.

Computer networking is a core technology of the internet of things; without it, ‘things’ would be unable to communicate with each other or report data. This module is concerned with how IoT device network with each other, from the structure and purpose of layers in protocol stacks, through to example IoT protocols, state-of-the-art directions, and security implications. A key part of the module is the coursework, in which students design and implement their own network protocol(s) in either simulation or hardware.

This module is taught together with ELEC3227 Embedded Networked Systems. This module and ELEC3227 are mutually exclusive. This module has higher requirements on the desired learning outcomes, which will be assessed by a different coursework assignment.
