The Law on Charterparties
This module introduces you to the law governing charterparties which are maritime contracts between shipowners and charterers for the hire of a ship for the carriage of cargo (or passengers) and as such form a critical part of the law governing the carriage of goods by sea. Charterparties may be voyage charters, time charters or bareboat/demise charters, and often go hand in hand with bills of lading, which in turn may import the application of the Hague-Visby Rules to the charterparties by paramount clauses. The study of this module involves an application of general principles of English (contract) law to the specific context of charterparties. -

The Lean Startup
This module aims to introduce you to the theory and practice of the Lean Startup methodology, a hypothesis driven experimental model of entrepreneurship. Unlike other entrepreneurship modules, this module requires that you evaluate a provided idea, rather than developing one yourself. You will be introduced to the Lean Startup methodology in a series of lectures and seminars, including a number of practical methods and tools which you can apply in a project. In teams, you will seek to obtain customer feedback on a provided product or service prototype. You will then propose design changes based on that feedback. Your individual assessment will evaluate your team’s application of the Lean Startup method, and critically evaluate the method itself. -

The Life and Afterlife of the Vikings
Blood, violence, terror, raids, pirates, rape and pillage are just some of the words associated with the Vikings in both the medieval and modern imagination. Their fearsome reputation is underlined by nicknames such as ‘Blood Axe' and ‘Skull-splitter', but violence is only one part of Viking history. The Vikings also formed extensive trade networks across Europe and into Asia, founded new countries, developed new technologies, created beautiful objects and left behind a literary tradition that influenced European culture for many centuries. In this module, by studying historical, literary and archaeological sources, you will examine both the reality of Viking society and how Viking identity was perceived over the course of the middle ages. Topics will include: Viking migration and settlements (for example, the foundation of Iceland), the mechanics of exchange (trade and gift-giving), kingship and kinship, travel and technology, the saga tradition and its influence, the material culture of the Vikings, religious beliefs and mission, perceptions of the Vikings and the formation of the Viking ‘myth'. -

The Long Nineteenth Century: Romanticism, Realism, and Revolution
'The present generation,' wrote J. A. Froude in 1882 as he looked back at the first years of the nineteenth century, 'will never know what it was to find the lights all drifting, the compasses all awry, and nothing left to steer by except the stars’. Far from being a complacent or confident era, the long nineteenth century was often a time of upheaval, fragmentation, and novelty. In this core module for the MA English Literary Studies (Nineteenth-Century) pathway, you will study the radical potential of Romanticism, the feverish literary experiments of the high Victorian period, and the beginnings of modernism. Students will gain knowledge of key scholarly approaches to nineteenth-century literature, asking throughout how the period's writers responded to, and at times provoked, social, cultural, and personal change. -
