ENGL2111 2026-27
Speech Acts
How do writers activate and amplify the sonic properties of language? Why do artists use vocal performance of text in video art? How can text ‘perform’ on the page (or onscreen), and what does it mean for language to be performative? What does writing for performance require? How can audiences ‘read’ what is spoken, and how do they hear what is written? In this module, you will read a range of literary and critical material which explores the relation between writing, speaking and sounding. You will consider how contemporary artists deploy voiced text to incite political change and learn how 20th-century manifestos and 21st-century spells transform words into actions. You will analyse poetic texts as sonic artefacts and have the opportunity to write and perform innovative texts of your own. Over the course of the module, you will investigate what happens when language is lifted off the page. -

AICE6006 2026-27
Speech Artificial Intelligence
Speech is humanity's most natural interface. Speech is all around us, but have you ever wondered what a voice really is, and what it takes to build one? In this module, you will develop expertise across the full speech AI pipeline: from speech signal fundamentals and data preparation to synthesis architectures that generate remarkably human voices. You will explore the theory and AI architectures that underlie state of the art speech technologies.
Building on your knowledge of machine learning, this module dives deeper into open and unsolved problems in the field, driven by cutting edge research. You will learn why speech processing is challenging and you will use creative problem solving to explore both the limitations and promises of speech AI. -

Stalin and Stalinism
This module begins with an assessment of the legacy of Lenin and goes on to investigate Stalin's rise to power and his methods in modernising economy and society. We will engage with historical debates concerning his role in the purges of the 1930s and the impact of the Great Patriotic War on his rule. We go on to evaluate the first effort at reforming the Stalinist system under his successor Khrushchev, whether there was a (partial) return to Stalinism under Brezhnev, and why the attempts to reform eventually failed under Gorbachev. We conclude by addressing Stalin's continuing popularity as a historical figure in post-communist Russia. -

SESA1017 2027-28
Statics & Dynamics
This is a first module on mechanics of solids and dynamics, which lays down the foundations of all of the aerospace structural modules that follow in subsequent years and also provides an introduction to dynamics that would be pertinent to structural vibration, control and aeroelasticity.
- An introduction to mechanics of solids in one-dimension, as applicable to aerospace engineering
- Preliminary extension solid mechanics to two and three dimensions.
-Introduction to dynamics of rigid bodies and small oscillations. -
