This module focuses on both theoretical and practical perspectives in the security of software and software systems, by exploring software analysis and reverse engineering.


The aims of the module at a high level are to:

- Explore common threats to the secure operation of software systems

- Give students exposure to software system analysis and penetration of software systems
- Provide practical skills in malware analysis and reverse engineering

Learn how the ground behaves in response to engineering loads and construction processes. Become expert at testing soil materials in the hands-on lab sessions, and develop skills to analyse geotechnical structures, including such as and retaining walls.

This module gives students the skills to apply the principles of soil mechanics – this is the engineering discipline concerned with the behaviour of geomaterials (soil and rock). During the first half of the module, you will learn the fundamental properties that control geomaterial behaviour – including stiffness, strength and groundwater flow. You will gain the practical skills to determine these properties through hands-on laboratory testing activities. The second half of the module provides students with the skills to link geomaterial properties to various engineering design challenges. These include the settlement of foundations, the stability of retaining walls and the seepage of water into excavations.

The skills and knowledge obtained in this module are essential for all civil engineers and are used when designing anything that interacts with the ground. All buildings and structures need foundations; all water supply and wastewater systems are affected by groundwater flow; all transport infrastructure must be founded on resilient base materials. This module builds on the introduction to geological materials covered in the first year, and provides a foundation for more detailed analysis of geotechnical structures later in this course.

This module provides an introduction to the principles of soil mechanics – how soil behaves when subject to engineering loads and construction processes. It also provides knowledge of simple analysis methods that are appropriate for assessment of geotechnical structures – foundations, slopes and retaining walls – and groundwater control problems. At the end of the module the students should be able to understand soil behaviour and apply their knowledge to straightforward engineering structures. The modules builds on the introduction to geological materials given in Part 1 Civil and Environmental Engineering Fundamentals (CENV1025) and provides a foundation for more detailed analysis of geotechnical structures which will be covered in Part 3 Geotechnical Engineering
(CENV3020).

In this module you will learn about the fundamental theory of bonding in solids – band theory, and show how this can be used to understand the optical, magnetic and optical properties of solid phase materials. You will also be taught about X-ray diffraction, and how this can be used to determine the structure of crystalline solids. We will also attempt to understand the links between structure and properties. The module will also expand on your knowledge of organometallic compounds, considering their use in catalytic cycles, and introducing metallocene ligands.

How did people in early medieval England think, feel, and write about the world they inhabited? In what sorts of ways did literature and other forms of texts shape their engagements with landscapes, environments, and the beings – real and imagined – with whom they shared this world? This module will introduce you to the places and spaces of the early Middle Ages from demon-haunted fenlands to crumbling urban wastelands, from dense woodlands to bright open country, and from the plains of paradise to the horrors of the inferno. We will focus on a range of Old English literature in translation, read in the wider context of contemporary textual and material cultures, and consider the ways in which texts from a range of genres constructed ideas about the environments and landscapes of early medieval England, and how these in turn shaped the lives of their inhabitants.
