This unit aims to introduce students to the fundamental knowledge and tools required for the analysis of oscillating systems within the maritime engineering field. Students will be required to perform calculations enabling them to model systems such as ocean waves using differential equations, vector calculus and spectral analysis techniques. Students will apply these skills in the design of...

The connection between technology and culture has never been greater. Screen, digital media, and networking platforms are changing the practices and forms of expression that represent and reflect culture and society. By investigating the production, use and circulation of various media, this unit examines the cultural and social implications for creative expression, communication and...

This unit examines how ageing is a social construct. You will examine how ageing and older age are influenced by factors other than biological ageing alone, from global and local perspectives. You will examine and critique social attitudes towards ageing, the impacts of ageism and social institutions, and how language impacts on our understandings and experiences of ageing and older age. The unit...

This unit will explore the ground as both a site for exploration and a support for expression. You will undertake a suite of practical exercises and projects that provide you with methods, concepts and practical skills for generating new ideas and ways of thinking through drawing and printmaking practice. Printmaking is explored as an extension of drawing, where materials and methods go through...

This unit will focus on the body as a site for exploration. The body has been a subject for drawing and printmaking across cultures and time. You will engage with the body through observation and interpretation from life drawing and sensory explorations. Through iterative drawing and printmaking process you will broaden your capacity to understand and engage with diverse materials, methodologies...
