This module focuses on producing impactful, contextually responsive spatial design outcomes that contribute to meaningful change. Building on the foundations established in Semester 1’s Design Projects: Investigate, Imagine, Intervene, you will extend your experience of the Spatial Design process by applying it to real‑world, externally set projects. Through this, you will strengthen your abilities in research, ideation and the communication of spatial solutions to clients and stakeholders.

You will work collaboratively to address spatial and environmental design challenges, developing essential professional skills in teamwork, shared decision‑making and the effective use of individual strengths within a group context. This approach mirrors contemporary industry practice, preparing you to operate confidently within multidisciplinary design teams.

Projects will be delivered in partnership with WSA Exchange and the Art School’s Research Labs, offering opportunities to engage with community, civic, cultural or environmental partners. These live briefs will enable you to design with purpose, accountability and empathy, while deepening your understanding of client engagement. You will learn how to negotiate project constraints, respond to stakeholder feedback and shape design proposals that are both creative and responsible.

Each student undertakes an independent research investigation using, for example, a collection at a museum, or similar. The research includes both literature survey and practical components. The literature component will consist of a critical review of work relating to the proposed practical component of the project. The research work is related to the appropriate degree programme and will vary accordingly. Each student is assigned to an appropriate supervisor who will advise on and direct the project and the preparation of a written report. The aim of this module is to allow students to carry out an intensive research-based project on a special topic related to his/her main area of study, and to complete a literature survey on a topic related to this area of research, with an external scholarly institution.

The modules Facilitating Effective Auditory Rehabilitation 1 and 2 cover the scientific and clinical foundations of adult audiological assessment and rehabilitation. They build on Professional and Clinical Practice in Audiology 1and Biopsychosocial Basis of Audiology from Part 1 of the programme, in which you learnt the scientific rationale and the practical skills for basic audiological procedures, and they support Professional and Clinical Practice in Audiology 2, in which you will be consolidating and extending your practical and professional skills. Facilitating Effective Auditory Rehabilitation 1 introduces you to the areas of otology, speech science and hearing devices and explores how these themes influence appropriate assessment, clinical decision making and rehabilitative management options.

Facilitating Effective Auditory Rehabilitation 2 examines the wider impact of HL and tinnitus and explores interactions with known comorbidities. It considers the entire patient journey evaluating a range of non-technical rehabilitative tools and approaches and how these might be utilised. It introduces specialist technologies such as implantable devices and assistive listening devices.

In this module, the emphasis moves away from alloy development and design, and focuses on the performance of structural materials in a range of engineering applications. The lectures draw on examples from applications of ceramics, steel, Al, Ti and Ni based alloys, and compares this with the performance of composites: polymer matrix, metal matrix and ceramic matrix systems. Engineering assessment of each failure problem is described and the associated micromechanical failure modes, understanding of which allows improved materials design and selection for a wide range of service environments.
