This unit extends the basic understanding of organic chemistry and chemical reactivity from level 200 units and introduces more advanced chemical reactions and the concept of rational synthetic design. It is one of four 300 level units essential for students who intend to major in chemistry. The unit highlights the key reactions in...

This unit will train you in big data analytics and scientific methods used every day by Antarctic researchers. You will learn how to explore, prepare, transform and display scientific data using open-source Python software assisted by generative AI. You will be introduced to Jupyter notebooks and fundamental computing skills, which are in high demand in the private sector as well as in research...

This core unit provides a broad training in fundamental aspects of population and community ecology and (with other core units in the School of Biological Sciences) forms an essential basis for specialist studies at third year level. This unit focuses on developing students' understanding of ecology and evolution. Lecture topics include: fundamental ecological principles and their evolutionary...

This unit equips students with a knowledge of vessel hull forms, hydrostatic concepts and parameters, introduce the concepts of ship behaviour in waves and the process of evaluating the seakeeping characteristics of a vessel, and phases within the design process. The unit builds upon prior undergraduate engineering knowledge to develop the conceptual and analytical skills necessary at a detailed...

This unit provides students with knowledge of renewable energy technologies, energy storage systems, power electronics interfaces and associated control, and renewable energy system design and implementation. Students will be able to practice their design skills in renewable energy systems through modelling and implementation. The unit utilises the laboratory resources of the Centre for Renewable...

On completion of this unit, students will have the knowledge and skills to be able to demonstrate a comprehension of the principles relating to ships stability and seaworthiness and be able to calculate statical stability of a ship while acknowledging the importance of dynamical stability, making sure that the vessel complies with the IMO stability criteria under all loaded conditions and...

This is a compulsory unit in the Master of Economic Geology, which would normally be taken as the first unit in the degree. This unit teaches the fundamental skills and theory needed by all economic geologists. Topics covered include: ore deposit classes (e.g. epigenetic/syngenetic; hydrothermal/magmatic/ sedimentary); mineral systems and metallogenesis; secular distribution of ore deposits;...

Students can develop the fundamental written and verbal communication skills necessary for effective communication in both business careers and academic studies in this unit. As such, the focus of it is two-fold; firstly, developing your personal communication skills and secondly also giving you a better understanding of the significant role of international business communication in the workplace...

This unit provides students with the knowledge and skills to plan, manage and carry out engineering operations, maintenance, and repairs on main propulsion diesel engines and related ancillary systems on commercial vessels. This includes the design, operational principles, construction, safety, statutory requirements, trouble shooting, testing and measurements, repairs and maintenance to enable...

The unit provides both a theoretical and a practical understanding of methods for evaluating the structure, policies, operations and technical capacities of organisations within their social and legal context. Students will gain an introduction to the role, knowledge and skills required of a business analyst. This unit focuses on both the specific tools and methods used by a business analyst,...
