The Student Assistantship is a six week clinical placement undertaken in the last six months of Final Year. It is a transitional bridge to prepare students for practicing as competent Foundation Doctors.

The module will normally take the format of a 6 week placement in one or more partner trusts. The timing will vary for different student groups and the teaching staff will vary for different practices and student groups. As is the nature of clinical placements, the exact learning experiences of each student will be variable however all students will have access to equivalent learning opportunities to achieve the learning outcomes. Students are expected to be pro-active in securing experiences in areas in order to achieve the programme learning outcomes unique to their needs.

This module can be taken as part of one of our awards (PG Cert, PG Diploma, MSc) or as a short course with or without completing the assessment.

It is well established that there is "cross talk" between the upper and lower airways, so this integrated module will deal with the entire respiratory system. Normal physiology and anatomy will be taught, along with the diagnosis, monitoring, treatment and psychology of disease. Generic aspects of airways disease such as epidemiology and quality of life issues will also be explored. Throughout the module, you will explore topics by interpreting clinical scenarios to reinforce your learning.

Sessions will include the mechanisms of inflammation and remodelling, guidelines for assessment and management of allergic airways disease. Upper airways sessions on rhinitis, sinus disease and polyposis will cover the mechanisms, diagnosis and treatment (including surgery). Immunotherapy will also be explored. Lower respiratory sessions will include asthma and small airways disease, as well as associated differential diagnoses (e.g. cystic fibrosis) and the role of viruses and bacteria in exacerbating allergic airways diseases. Sessions exploring the heterogeneity of these diseases and how this affects disease management are also covered. The core components of effective communication skills and patient centred approaches in allergic airways disease are also addressed. This module comprehensively covers both paediatric and adult disease.

Our online module is delivered using a blend of live teaching and pre-recorded sessions. You are expected to attend all live sessions which allows 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 our blended learning each teaching week allows you to build on and synthesise your learning as you go.

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

Are you interested in Astronomy and the BIG questions of our Universe? Do you want to impress your friends with your knowledge of the Night Sky? Are you fascinated by Black Holes, Exoplanets and the Aurora?

This module is led by a Professional Astronomy Communicator who has many exciting demos to engage students with the content; one of the lectures will even be held in our very own inflatable planetarium.

Students on this module DO NOT require A-level Maths or Physics.

The aim of the course is to convey the conceptual ideas of our universe to students with no formal physics training. We will progress from Big Bang to our current understanding of the Universe. This journey starts in our Solar System and ends with discovering the most distant object in the Universe, Quasars. Students will also learn how astronomical sources, such as Black Holes and Supernova are observed and the differences between Dark Energy and Dark Matter. Finally, they will learn how astronomy research has resulted in useful technologies here on Earth. With their new understanding of our Universe and the scientific justifications for what astronomers observe, the students will be equipped to critique astronomy news and explain the physics of our Universe.

The course is designed for students who do not have an A-level in physics or maths.
