This foundational Unit provides students with knowledge and skills required to apply basic principles of mechanics to marine applications. Student will learn how to solve applied mechanics problems for the purpose of understanding, operating, and maintaining marine machinery and equipment at an operational level.  This Unit meets the requirements for knowledge, understanding, and proficiency...

On completion of this unit, students will have the skills, knowledge and good understanding of navigational charts and relevant publications including information sources regarding the principles of passage planning. Students will acquire the skills to plan and conduct a safe navigational passage, taking into account tidal calculations for different locations on the planned route. They will be...

The lectures examine aspects of overt social behaviour, such as two-person encounters, behaviour in small and large groups and inter-group relations. Research in social cognition, which studies people’s perceptions and interpretations of the social world, will also be presented. Lecture topics include: attribution theory, decision-making, and social dilemmas; social aspects of emotion; the...

Strategy is concerned with an organisation's long-term direction - with making strategic choices about how to use resources best and align the firm with the operating environment. Business Strategy enhances your knowledge of strategy formulation, implementation and evaluation with a business, and the key contextual factors and managerial decisions that influence this process. The unit develops...

Today's modern integrated technology is built on ICT systems that run in a range of contexts (e.g. Servers, PCs, mobile computing, robotics) using a range of technological solutions. Students will examine a range of different devices used to build ICT infrastructure. By exploring computing devices students will gain a fundamental understanding of the similarities and differences in modern...

This unit aims to develop engineering analysis and design knowledge and skills within a multi-disciplinary, sustainable engineering context to ideate, design, optimise and build a prototype. You will work in a team to analyse a problem in terms of its context, dilemma and objective prior to developing a conceptual design, before you enter a next stage of following a reference design and building...

The objective of this unit is to provide a general understanding of the operation of the maritime industry from an economics perspective. The main focus is on the economic behaviour of shipowners, shippers, and other stakeholders in the markets for liquid bulk, dry bulk, container shipping, shipbuilding, scrapping and second-hand ships. ...

The unit introduces the fundamental concepts of modern electronics based on semiconductor devices. On completion of this unit you will be able to design amplifier circuits with feedback. Beginning with the basic atomic structure of doped silicon substrates, diode construction, operations and characteristic curves are introduced, leading to DC and AC analysis. This is expanded to quiescent point...
