Description

Classical Studies approaches the subject of Greco-Roman antiquity from the multiple perspectives of different interrelated disciplines, studying literatures, languages, cultures, and thought. A unique feature of the Swansea BA in Classical Studies will lie in its structure. A portfolio of modules which will reflect the most recent research will ensure the programme evolves and represents the latest thinking in the discipline. Students will have opportunities to pursue language study, from scratch to advanced level, and this will attract those who have not had the opportunity to study the languages before as well as those with various levels of prior experience. All students of Classical Studies, including those who take one or both languages, will have the opportunity in their second or final year to teach pupils at local schools as part of a credit-bearing module.

Topics Likely To Be Covered

BA Classical Studies will offer students the opportunity to study the full range of the Ancient Greek and Latin literatures, cultures and languages. The programme will include the option of studying one or both classical languages, although neither will be compulsory. There will be dedicated Greek and Roman literature modules in the first year, which can be studied in combination with Classical Languages, Greek and Roman History, Ancient History, Egyptology, English Literature and Philosophy. The second and third years will offer students the opportunity to study methodological and theoretical approaches as well as selected topics in Greek and Roman literature and culture, in line with Departmental research strengths. The programme will culminate in the final year dissertation which will enable students to develop and hone their research skills.

It will be innovative in its range of forms of assessment and in its inclusion of teaching placement and creative project modules, which will enhance the students’ employability.

Description

This programme is an opportunity to study both Criminology and Sociology within an interdisciplinary social sciences context.

The programme combines Criminology, the field of study which focuses on criminalisation, victimisation and social responses to crime and disorder, with Sociology, the study of human life as found in groups, institutions and societies.

The programme is offered within the School of Social Sciences and has been specifically designed to offer students a truly integrated approach to the challenges faced by modern day society.

Studying the relationship between people, society, crime and the responses of the criminal justice system, allows students a better understanding of the factors that shape behaviour, beliefs and attitudes, and the ability to look for more effective ways to tackle criminal behaviour and reduce its impact on individuals and society.

The topics available will be interwoven across a range of modules and supplemented by research and working case studies to demonstrate how the programme may be applied to everyday life and how society continues to evolve. Criminological and sociological theory underpins the programme at all levels.

Topics Likely To Be Covered

Subjects may include (but are not limited to):

• education
• culture and consumption
• gender, diversity, inclusivity
• health
• individuals and society
• law, the criminal justice system, and human rights
• migration and ethnic relations
• social media
• victims and victimology

Teaching on the programme is led by the latest research in the field and delivered over a range of formats to promote student engagement and interaction while also allowing for independent development. Assessments are varied to include methods such as presentations, vlogs, research proposals, group work, briefing papers, etc. as these reflect the skills and knowledge base that graduates require in related career paths.

Students will be offered a combination of compulsory modules to provide core skills and a structure to the programme, which is then supplemented by optional modules, which allow students to specialise in their chosen field.

The School of Social Sciences prides itself on the sense of community. Here you will find a warm, friendly environment where staff are approachable and put you at the centre of all that we do. We look forward to welcoming you onto the programme.

Description

Medical engineers provide an important service in the NHS. They are responsible for checking medical equipment to make sure it is working properly and is safe to use. NHS hospitals use an increasingly wide range of medical equipment in order to deliver healthcare services. This ranges from simple devices such as nebulisers (used to deliver treatment for respiratory patients) through to sophisticated radiotherapy linear accelerators for cancer treatments. This programme is designed to train the next generation of medical engineers working in the NHS.
Please note this programme has a specific focus on healthcare provision. There are placements in NHS departments.

If you are interested in more of the engineering processes for product design and innovation, there is different programme of study that might interest you within Medical Engineering. This programme focuses on the application of engineering principles to modern medicine whereas Healthcare Science (Medical Engineering) focuses on patient care and ensuring the technology used in the NHS is functioning correctly.

Topics Likely To Be Covered

• Engineering
• Electronics
• Anatomy and physiology
• Maths and physics
• Statistics
• Research
