PHIL1021 (2025-26)

Existentialism and its Origins

How should I live my life and does it matter that I do so in good faith? What is it to live an authentic existence in light of the fact that that existence will at some point end? How is living authentically or in good faith related to being oneself, an individual, as opposed to being just one of the crowd? These are among the central questions that ‘existentialist’ thinkers, such as Kierkegaard, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, and Heidegger, try to answer. This module aims to introduce you to the different perspectives that some of the most prominent existentialists have on such questions, and to give you the chance to reflect on these issues in light of their work.

ENGL2112 (2027-28)

Experiment!

What does it mean to make literature new? What forms and reformations have offered starting points for rethinking literary convention? In this module, you will explore the revolutions, innovations, and boundary-crossings that have taken place in literature in English when writers have grappled with these questions across the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Each week, you will explore two texts, often from distinct literary contexts, that take a specific approach to experiment - from metafiction and documentary, from collage to life-writing, from chance to mythic structure. You will be encouraged to make connections across these texts, and to try out some literary experiments of your own as you understand what techniques or orthodoxies writers have revisited and rethought. In the two assessments for this module, you will acquire the skills to write about complex literary forms, to think through the aesthetic terms that can best describe modern and contemporary writing, and have the option of trying out and reflecting on your own creative writing experiments.

Experimental Publishing

The consideration of what publishing actual means today remains a relevant question for any creative practitioner. Over the past few years we have seen a huge rise in self-publishing, print on-demand services, tweeting and social media, from post-digital to post broadcasting, and the act of making things public (publishing) has become a vibrant mix of old and new technologies. This module examines some of these technologies from a multidisciplinary perspective and allows students to explore these within the context of their own practice. The module will focus on three themes (1) Paper. The book as technology, (2) Pixel. Post digital publishing, (3) The network. Distribution and connecting.

Students write reflective blog posts throughout the module and write a final reflective summary at the end.

Explorations

Within this studio-based module you will develop further knowledge and skills within two communities of learning based on a survey of your preferences. As introduced in Semester two of Part one your elected communities of learning are from the following:
•Design for Good;
•Identity/Information;
• Language / Narrative;
•Future Environments.

You will deepen your visual and conceptual understanding of these two communities. A series of project briefs will also allow you to integrate more advanced specialist ways of creating and developing work within each community. This will include evolving the quality of your technical and intellectual thinking skills. This module will help inform your decision making on whether you wish to position yourself as an interdisciplinary or specialist graphic communication practitioner. The module will conclude in construction of an informed portfolio of work.

MUSI2092 (2026-27)

Explorations in Composition

This module focuses on composition that endeavours to innovate within and extend beyond musical conventions through actively exploring new possibilities, taking risks and experimentation. We’ll delve into a wide range of compositional approaches and techniques that developed during the second-half of the twentieth century and twenty-first centuries. We’ll look at composers who created new musical ‘languages’ (e.g. systematic composition); sounds (e.g. extended instrumental techniques); forms of music notation (e.g. graphic scores); and relationships between composers and performers (e.g. structured improvisation). Reflecting the plethora of approaches available to the twenty-first century composer, we’ll explore music across a range of styles, and in your compositions you can incorporate the approaches we explore into the musical idiom of your choice. - your piece can be Classical, Heavy Metal, Country or in any other idiom, so long as it is notated and adventurous! Where possible, your second assignment composition will be workshopped and recorded by professional guest musicians.
MUSI3101 (2025-26)

Explorations in Composition

Following on from Composition Workshop (MUSI 2093/3100), this module will explore more technical devices, formal procedures and ways of thinking about composition. You will study key compositional approaches and techniques that have developed during the second-half of the twentieth century and twenty-first centuries, focussing particularly on composers who created new musical ‘languages’ and ‘logics’ , as well as composers who created scores using unconventional notational means. As with Composition Workshop, musical style is not prescribed in this module; you may incorporate the compositional techniques and issues we explore into the musical idiom of your choice.

Exploring Other Cultures

We understand that few students have had the previous opportunity to study social and cultural anthropology. In this introductory module you will consider questions like: What is anthropology? What do anthropologists study? What is it like to do anthropological research, often living in a community for a long period of time, learning their language and participating in their daily lives? How did anthropology originate? How have other cultures been represented in accounts written about their lives? What is the significance of anthropology and understanding other ways of life in the contemporary global world? We explore these issues through using different examples from across the world. We learn more about people's everyday lives, about their families, their relationships, their beliefs and their livelihoods. We investigate how people from different cultural backgrounds make decisions, how they choose their leaders, and whether gender makes a difference to how people are perceived. In summary, we explore the many different ways of what it means to be human.

Exploring Proteins: Structure and Function

The module will revise and extend the study of protein architecture, interactions and enzyme function. During the module we explain common concepts using specific systems. The case studies include studies of membrane ion channels, enzymes such as proteases, a number of blood proteins including haemoglobin, and antibodies. We also describe how proteomics can be used to characterise and quantitate multiple proteins in parallel, using extremely sensitive analytical techniques, and how this information can be used to obtain clues about the biological roles of proteins.
