This module will develop your knowledge and understanding of some of the critical debates and issues relevant to contemporary practice and to explore wider concepts applicable to Animation and Illustration
In this module you will develop your knowledge and understanding of some of the critical debates and issues relevant to contemporary practice. It will provide an exciting opportunity for you to explore wider concepts that are applicable to your subject specialism and build on the understanding gained in the HE4 contextual module. The themes explored are also applicable to professional practice modules in respect of the role of the animator/ illustrator. This module will also feed in to the HE6 contextual module.
Through a series of lectures and seminars you will explore some of the meanings, functions and intentions of practice within a dynamic set of theoretical considerations concerning the past, present and future. Research and study skills are an integral part of the module and blended learning forms part of the learning and teaching process, for example electronic checking of written work and participating in online discussions and research. This module emphasises the relevance of conceptual thinking as applied to practice and the themes and theories explored in the module should be applied to the practical modules.
This module develops and consolidates a student's ability to undertake a major research and writing project. It enables students to carry out an extended body of research on an agreed topic of their choice (appropriate to critical and contextual inquiry) relevant to Art and Practice, in conjunction with the supervisory team.
The module will focus on the various approaches to research and the two main approaches of qualitative and quantitative will be explicated. Attention will be paid to ethical research practices and that students are aware of codes of practice including the utilisation of human participants, environmental and cultural concerns relevant to their topic. Research and study skills will include: how to manage your project (time, workload and record keeping), how to undertake effective literature searches including the use of digital sources, and lastly, effective communication through a written extended assignment (including critical evaluation). These skills will be developed within the context of the subject area resulting in critical inquiry of a text/image format, for example an extended essay or extended report. It will emphasise the cultural, historical, theoretical and conceptual elements as necessary.

Title: Combining E-Learning and Face-to-Face Teaching – The Digitally Enhanced Flipped Classroom
In contrast to many other disciplines, law has been slow to implement innovative teaching strategies. There are many contributing factors. One significant factor can be found in the seemingly insurmountable quantity of information that needs to be conveyed in each lecture, often at the expense of practical skills training. Flipped classroom strategies are a convenient form of blended learning, whereby the content heavy learning elements are provided via reading tasks which are to be completed by students before they attend their lectures, thereby freeing up valuable face-to-face class time for live problem-solving activities. In theory, this approach presents an ideal solution to assist law teachers with the balancing of content and practical skills development and increased student engagement. 10 However, this approach only works effectively, if all students complete their reading tasks.
Yet, the past decades have witnessed a reduction of reading being undertaken in education – a trend which often is attributed to an increased usage of electronic devices. In the School of Law, the Covid-19 pandemic demonstrated how the popularity of devices such as laptops, tablet PCs and smartphones could be utilised to integrate more interactive digitally enhanced blended learning formats into structured legal learning environments. With this transition, the flipped classroom (FC) allowed for the effectively combining of e-learning and face-to-face teaching components. Tools, such as the H5P Moodle plugin or SCORM packages have enabled the School of Law to digitally enhance our flipped classroom strategies to increase student engagement by offering more interactive methods of knowledge acquisition than the traditional reading lists.
e-commerce-img.jpgThis module aims to help you gain knowledge and skills so that you can critically evaluate traditional and digital theories and concepts, and critically analyse the issues concerned with marketing planning, including macro environmental assessment, marketing mix development and market entry strategies. You will be given the opportunity to critically review marketing case studies, including live briefs, with an emphasis on the rise of, nature, and impact, of digital technology, E-Commerce and multichannel marketing. You will develop and critically apply knowledge and skills to help you identify and appraise marketing opportunities for both service and product marketing and apply methodologies for successful online and offline planning in domestic and international markets. The GAME attributes covered in this module are: Effective Communication and Adaptable.
This module provides a vehicle for all the elements of the Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate (CDIO) methodology, an internationally recognised model for the practical education of professional engineers (see www.cdio.org). It also brings in underpinning theory of systems, materials and processes to explain how designers have worked to arrive at current solutions, whilst facilitating the future development of your skills in engineering design. Physical and virtual logs of workshop and project work contribute to your CPD portfolio. This module teaches and assesses (SM3b) (P3) (EA3b) (EA4b) (D5) (D4) (P11) (G2) and develops (G1-G4) (P8) (D3b) (EA2) of the AHEP3 requirements for CEng.

The purpose of this module is to develop and extend your knowledge and understanding of the theory, practice and utility of Finite Element and Finite Difference methods in order to develop solutions to a range of engineering problems e.g. of spaceframe, beam, plate and solids problems. Solutions will involve employing the stiffness matrix and load/displacement equation approach in order to solve benchmark problems related to force, temperature and/or time dependency. The module will also look at the application of industry standard Finite Element Analysis and Simulation packages. This module teaches and assesses (C1), (C4), (C5) and (C13) requirements for CEng.

Placements are a practice-based component of PA education that enables you to apply theoretical knowledge in real clinical settings under supervision. Through rotations across primary and secondary care environments, you can gain exposure to a diverse range of patients, conditions, and healthcare contexts. There is a focus on developing essential clinical skills such as history taking, physical examination, clinical reasoning, and patient communication, while also fostering professionalism and ethical practice. Supervised by qualified healthcare practitioners, you will receive ongoing feedback to support your development and ensure patient safety. Reflective activities, such as maintaining a clinical portfolio or journal, encourage critical thinking and continuous learning. Assessment is formative, incorporating tools such as observed clinical encounters, case-based discussions, and supervisor evaluations. Overall, placements play a crucial role in preparing you to become competent, confident, and safe practitioners within multidisciplinary healthcare teams.
