Where does the idea of a stateless person come from? Why did France become one of the foremost nations for refugee reception? How were refugees fleeing from persecution in other parts of Europe treated in France? Why did France establish a system of ‘concentration camps’ for refugees? This module offers you the opportunity to gain an in-depth awareness of how asylum was offered, compromised and refused during an era of mass forced displacement.

You will be able to follow the experiences of various groups of refugees from the First World war through to the end of the Second World War. You will then explore the dynamics underlying the inclusion and exclusion of refugees from the commemorative practices of WWII in contemporary France. This module will appeal to students with an interest in France and European history more generally as well as those who wish to gain an understanding of how basic refugees’ rights developed during a key phase of mass forced displacement.

"The Anthropology of Everything" aims to guide students in developing engaged thinking about the various forms of anthropological knowledge production. Serving as a bridge between social and cultural anthropology, archaeology and biological anthropology modules, this module is structured around a fictionalized excavation site, using weekly topics as a springboard into creative anthropological analysis. In this way, the module explores historical and contemporary themes and debates in social and cultural anthropology, providing students with a critical understanding of the diverse theoretical frameworks, methodologies and positionalities that have shaped the discipline. By analyzing ethnographic cases from across the globe, it highlights anthropology’s unique capacity to bridge past, present and future, transcend boundaries and engage with both human and non-human lifeworlds. Building on this foundation, students will engage with classic and emerging theories and concepts grounded in ethnography to examine how anthropological knowledge is produced, circulated and contested.

This module encourages students to think forward, towards innovative ways of applying ethnographic knowledge by understanding that an anthropological framing can elicit insights that can be powerful explanatory tools in many situations, both in their personal and professional lives. Ultimately, this module fosters a deeper appreciation of anthropology’s relevance in addressing pressing global challenges.

Acoustical engineers play a vital role in almost every field of technology, from the built environment to transport, from audio systems to green energy production, from underwater communication to medical imaging and treatment.

Acoustical engineers need to understand the physical mechanisms of sound wave generation, propagation, but they also need to understand the way we hear and respond to sound, the way acousticians quantify and measure sounds. Beyond that acoustical engineers need to know how their role addresses the needs of society, how to communicate, both with engineers from other disciplines and the public, and what their professional and ethical responsibilities are.

This module will be the first step in your journey to becoming a professional acoustical engineer. It consists of four inter-related themes.

The ACOUSTICAL ENGINEERING theme explores the questions of what an acoustical engineer does, who employs them, and how they benefit society. It surveys the wide range of engineering undertakings to which acoustical engineers can contribute, and deals with the ethical and societal responsibilities of a professional engineer.

The SOUND PERCEPTION theme introduces the human auditory system and how we assess hearing. It explores the relationship between objective measures such as amplitude and frequency to subjective phenomena, such as loudness and pitch. It explores how we quantify and regulate noise.

The PHYSICAL ACOUSTICS theme deals with mathematical models for the physical processes involved in acoustic wave motion. It shows how wave motion arises from the fundamental laws of fluid motion and develops the relationship between pressure fluctuations (which we hear as sound) and the associated fluid motion, making use of analytical techniques learnt in your Mathematics module, and drawing on concepts from your Thermofluids module.

In the DATA PROCESSING theme, you will be taught to use the Python programming language to process, visualize and (since this is an acoustics course) auralize data. You will learn to create and play audible sounds, analyse recorded sounds and make animations of wave motions to deepen your understanding of acoustical processes.

Civil engineering is a design discipline that is broad and holistic, while also focused and extremely precise. It utilises experimentation, creativity, numerical analysis and calculation and the application of scientific principles to deliver sustainable solutions for people, our societies, cultures and environments. It requires engineers who have refined their skills through experience and demonstrate they can apply learning within a highly communicative, process-driven, teamworking environment.

This module introduces the theories and practical skills required for you to become a successful civil engineer. It includes a series of design projects, ranging in focus and scope, supported by lectures, practical workshops, design tutorials and presentations. You are encouraged to identify your existing skills, competencies and interests, and shape and enhance your own learning – helping you to start to define your own career within the exciting world of civil engineering.
