An early flute sits silently behind glass in a museum, grouped with others of its type to show changes in instrument manufacture through the ages. Fans flock to the childhood house of a former Beatle, hoping to achieve a new form of intimacy with a legendary pop icon. In an exhibit about World War I, the soundtrack includes rousing patriotic songs amid the noise of bombs exploding. Music features in all these museum contexts, but how and why? When is music used to interpret objects and spaces in cultural heritage, and how does the heritage industry shape the ways we understand music? How are concepts of cultural value created or maintained through musical museums and museum music?

This module explores the place of music in heritage theory and practice, investigating how heritage creates cultural value and what role music may play in the process. We will consider museums and collections specifically devoted to music: these will include musical instrument museums and collections (such as the Cité de la Musique in Paris), popular music museums and exhibitions (such as the Pink Floyd exhibition at the V&A), and composer and musician houses (such as Handel& Hendrix in London). We will also investigate the use of music to interpret objects and create narratives on topics other than music itself, including in history museums (for example, on the Holocaust), art museums, and/or science and technology museums. We will ask how sound and music figure in new understandings of the sensory museum and how music can support or enhance storytelling in museum contexts. This module is suitable for both Music students and other students from all areas of the humanities; a prior study of music is helpful but not essential for successful completion.

The aim of this course is to explore the physical processes which occur in the space environment. Theories of solar wind propagation and its interaction with the earth are developed and compared with data from satellites and ground based observatories.

The course will provide a brief revision of key elements of electromagnetic theory. Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) will be developed and applied, with application of kinetic theory to areas where MHD breaks down.

The reasons why space plasma physics is important for modern day life will be discussed. The magnetospheres of other planets will be compared to Earth’s.

This module is intended for anyone interested in pursuing in more detail the space part of aerospace engineering. It looks at each of the key subsystems of a spacecraft in detail. It also introduces the overall theme of space systems engineering by emphasising the interfaces between subsystems and the iterative nature of spacecraft design and spacecraft systems engineering.

This module describes the development of spacecraft instrumentation, from the definition of the requirements to the final design and operation. You will also gain a good understanding of the interaction between the instrument and the platform and the space qualification process.
