Would you like to understand why people - mostly men - are violent, or commit rape, or sexually abuse young children? Are people who do such things mentally ill? What might have happened to
them in their lives that makes them commit such serious offences? Can such people be rehabilitated? Or should they just be locked up forever? These are the kind of challenging but intriguing questions
which this third year optional module asks you to consider. It brings together theory and practice from forensic psychiatry and psychology, sociological criminology, and psychoanalysis to consider some of the possible causes of violent and sexually violent crime, and possible ways of working effectively with these offenders to help them to change.

This module gives you the opportunity to explore an allergy-related topic of your choice in greater depth and to translate your learning discovery into an educational resource, thereby feeding forward your knowledge and skills to your chosen learner. Based on your chosen topic, you will design and produce a Virtual Patient (VP), an interactive patient scenario, for health care professionals (or students), with the aim of producing a teaching or training resource that develops their clinical reasoning and decision-making skills. Through the VP, your learner will be able to explore your chosen allergy-related topic and learn about aspects such as obtaining a history and making diagnostic, therapeutic and management decisions in a ‘safe’ (virtual) environment. Having chosen the topic and target learners, you will create this learning environment by constructing activities and assessment questions that are aligned with topic-specific learning outcomes and supported with rich feedback.

Our online module is delivered using a blend of live teaching and pre-recorded sessions. You are expected to attend all live sessions which allow you to engage with our expert teachers and your fellow students and benefit from rich discussions. Our recorded sessions allow you to learn at your convenience within each teaching week. Most of our students continue to work while studying and benefit from this flexibility. Engaging with these live sessions allows you to gain support from your peers and the module leads, synthesise your learning and reflect on your progress as you go.

This module is taught once a year and typically involves approximately 10 hours of student engagement per week.

This module is taught once a year and typically involves approximately 10 hours of student engagement per week. The module will take place during the following weeks (exact timetable to be confirmed):

•Teaching & guided learning: 06/03/26-20/03/26
•Self-directed learning: 21/03/26-15/04/26

In this module, you will conduct an extensive, independent investigation into a topic of your choice, culminating in a Final Major Project. The aim of the module is to test your ability to conduct an autonomous, comprehensive analysis of a specific topic. Your project should demonstrate master’s-level understanding as you engage in topic identification, research design, and analysis. This should culminate in a well-structured research project that could align with a business context relevant to you and/or your career ambitions, your chosen pathway, or that addresses a contemporary marketing and/or branding issue that is of interest to you. You may choose to focus your project on the creative industries or on another industry related to your career or pathway choices.

We live in a world that is saturated by images, from the far reaches of space to the sub-atomic level and just about everything in between. Images seem to have a special power in our lives, playing a part in the constructions of who and what we are and the ways in which we understand the world around us. Whether we like it or not we live in a ‘visual culture’ in which virtually everything is mediated by visual technologies.

This module takes as its starting point the assumption that as future designers, artists and professionals in the creative industries you will be future producers as well as consumers of visual culture. You will be introduced to some of the core theoretical issues that underpin the production and consumption of visual culture including questions of what an image is, how it works, its relationship to ideology and theories of representation.
