This module covers a wide range of topics of fluid mechanics in order to offer basic knowledge and foundations applicable to various mechanical and acoustical engineering problems. This module introduces fundamental principles of conservation (mass, momentum and energy) laws of fluid flow, potential (ideal) flow, inviscid compressible flow and viscous flow. This module is also complemented by lab classes of Boundary layers and CFD along with tutorials.

- To outline the basic principles underlying the behaviour of fluids.
- To provide knowledge and understanding of the fundamentals of fluid mechanics.
- To provide knowledge and understanding of structure of polymers and composites and how this determines mechanical properties.
- To introduce the laws of thermodynamics and their applications in a range of problems and maintaining systems stability, stability of loads.

Microorganisms are key players in all the major biogeochemical cycles on Earth. Fluxes, Cycles, and Microbial Communities explores the microbial influence on the biological, chemical, and geological processes that shape natural environments on our planet. This is currently an area of intense research activity given the extent to which humans have been modifying the natural world, which have potential consequences for ecosystems, the biosphere, and Earth’s climate. Microorganisms have a critical role in these processes as major controllers of elemental fluxes, ecosystem functioning, and as producers and consumers of major greenhouse gases. This module will introduce students to the diversity of life that has been shaping our biosphere since the early beginnings of life, and that continues to shape our biosphere in the Anthropocene. Key environments such as forest and oceans are also specifically covered.

Food allergy is common in both children and adults. A clear understanding of various aspects of food allergy, including prevention, epidemiology, immunology and clinical management and treatment, is important for all clinical practitioners working in this area. This module will include an introduction to food allergy with lectures on prevention strategies, definitions, natural history and epidemiology of food allergy followed by an explanation of the immunological basis of food allergic disease. Common food allergies will be discussed in more detail with emphasis on management of acute reactions and food allergy as a chronic disease/condition. Additionally, there will be specific focus on established and novel diagnostic methods and treatment modalities. Throughout the module, you will explore topics by interpreting clinical scenarios to reinforce your learning.

Our online module is delivered using a blend of live teaching and pre-recorded sessions. You are expected to attend all the live sessions which allows you to engage with our expert teachers and your fellow students and benefit from rich discussions. Our recorded sessions allow you to learn at your convenience within each teaching week. Most of our students continue to work while studying and benefit from this flexibility. Engaging with our blended learning each teaching week allows you to build on and synthesise your learning as you go.

This module is taught once a year and typically involves approximately 10 hours of student engagement per week. The module will take place during the following weeks (exact timetable to be confirmed):

•Teaching & guided learning: 14/01/26-25/02/26
•Self-directed learning: 26/02/26-18/03/26

This module can be taken as part of one of our awards (PG Cert, PG Diploma, MSc) or as a short course with or without completing the assessment.
