In this unit, you will examine foundational knowledge of the anatomy and physiology relating to structures of the head, neck and thorax. The functional anatomy and physiology of the head, neck and thorax are examined with a focus on structures necessary for speaking, swallowing, voice, respiration and hearing, and to study the underlying neurological and physiological processes that enable humans...

Partial differential equations (PDEs) are arise in many areas of applied mathematics; whenever a problem changes continuously in space and in time as, for example, in fluid flow or a description of the spread of a virus, PDEs are inevitably required to describe the system. In general PDEs are very hard to solve analytically, but there are a number of equations that recur often and for which...

We exist as embodied beings: bodies are how we move through the world and how we touch, see, and interact with it. The purpose of the unit is to introduce you to concepts of the body and bodies within art historical and cultural traditions and emerging technological terrains. The unit explores key issues such as gender, representation, and identity with a focus on bodies as sites of transformation...

This unit introduces you to the practical approaches taken in penetration testing – simulating aggressors in a cyber security penetration testing environment.
