The unit KYA211 Waves and Kinetic Theory is the core unit in physics major for second year, first semester. It is also suitable for students who wish to study physics beyond first year but who do not intend to major in the subject. Students will gain an in-depth understanding of many forms of wave motion and of concepts relating to kinetic theory of gases. Students will develop skills in using...

In this unit, you will explore differences and intersections between virtual/conceptual and physical/experiential fields of design. Through practical fieldwork, you will consider human interactions with public and private spaces, objects, and buildings and architecture in the physical world, and compare these to the ways that people interact with mediated, virtual and augmented spaces. You will...

This unit will provide students with the theoretical understanding and practical knowledge of Marine Electronic Navigation equipment to enable the equipment to be used to the best advantage with full understanding of the capabilities and limitations. This unit builds on the knowledge gained in year 1. It meet the requirements for knowledge, understanding and proficiency set out by the Maritime...

This unit introduces students to the study of political ideas focusing on some of the major ideological frameworks that have and continue to guide political action in the modern era. In the unit, students will consider liberal, conservative, Marxist, fascist, feminist, environmentalist, Islamist and other ideological frameworks. The unit will examine how different theoretical approaches...

This unit introduces you to the fundamentals of warehousing management and related distribution issues that are important for pursuing a career in the logistics, transport and maritime industries. Academic understanding and applied skills will be developed to the point where you will be able to analyse existing warehouse layout, processes, safety systems and equipment in order to identify ways to...

The goal of the unit is to develop a thorough understanding of basic econometric methods so that the student can, at the end of this unit:Critically evaluate empirical studies in economics and finance which involve use of simple econometric techniques in estimation and inference;Develop an appreciation of the likely problems in data and know how to deal with them;Obtain a good background for a...

In this unit you will receive an introduction to oceanography- the interdisciplinary science of the oceans. You will learn about the physics of the ocean, including the forces that drive the movement of water and aspects important to the coastal oceans including tides and estuaries; the biogeochemistry of the ocean including the role of the ocean in the global carbon cycle and the factors that...

This unit introduces students to the technologies that make up the fabric of the web—HTML, CSS and JavaScript—as well as standard web models and practices, key web design and usability principles, common security issues and mitigation strategies, and data-driven backend development with PHP and SQL. The unit assumes a sound basic knowledge of programming and database skills as developed in...

BEA200 Public Policy and Welfare shows how economic theory can be directly applied to explain the behaviour of individuals and help solve the decisions that policymakers face. The unit introduces and uses the neoclassical theory of consumer behaviour to initially explain how individuals respond to changes in prices, wages, interest rates and income and how to measure their welfare. The unit then...

This unit introduces digital design applications for image making, illustration and digital visualization, in both vector and raster formats. It explores the diverse nature of digital media tools available and the specific areas of the creative industries they service. Although the output may be vastly different, the theory behind these programs is essentially the same. You will learn how to...
