Computer networking is a core technology of the internet of things; without it, ‘things’ would be unable to communicate with each other or report data. This module is concerned with how IoT device network with each other, from the structure and purpose of layers in protocol stacks, through to example IoT protocols, state-of-the-art directions, and security implications. A key part of the module is the coursework, in which students design and implement their own network protocol(s) in either simulation or hardware.

This module is taught together with ELEC3227 Embedded Networked Systems. This module and ELEC3227 are mutually exclusive. This module has higher requirements on the desired learning outcomes, which will be assessed by a different coursework assignment.

At the end of the taught phase of the IPhD in Applied Linguistics/ELT, you will work under supervision towards the preparation of a doctoral research proposal.

This is non-credit-bearing Masters-level module, however progression from year 1 of the IPhD (from the taught phase to the doctoral phase) is dependent upon successful completion of this proposal, which must be passed at 65% or higher.

Iron Age Europe witnessed the divergence of a ‘classical' Mediterranean world, whose culture included such features as states, towns, coinage and literacy, from a ‘barbarian' world to the north, where these features developed only much later, if at all. This module will examine the evidence for this period in Britain and Ireland: the adoption of new technologies, especially iron; changes in agricultural production; the social significance of food and drink; the construction of hillforts such as Maiden Castle and the sort of society who lived in them; the growth of more specialised systems of production and exchange. One important theme is the connection between Britain and the continent and the expanding power of the Roman Empire. There were important social transformations in the Late Iron Age, especially in southern England: key questions include the relative importance of indigenous factors and connections with Rome, and the extent of social and political evolution before the Roman conquest: how urban were sites such as Colchester and Silchester, which became important towns after the Roman conquest.

The historical memory of the West has always dissociated religion from the revolutionary ideal, from the Enlightenment principles that opposed it. From a Western perspective, Islam denoted tradition, while revolution represented change. However, in many Islamic societies, sociopolitical movements have been closely intertwined with Islam. From the 1979 Revolution in Iran to the Arab Spring of 2012, revolutionary movements were expressed in religious language. Therefore, revolution and change within an Islamic framework are not inherently contradictory.
This module discusses the crisis of identity that Islam is experiencing today by examining two different definitions of Islam:
Political Islam seeks to revive Islam's "golden age" by adhering to early Islamic principles and establishing states governed by Islamic law (e.g. al-Qaeda, ISIS, and the Taleban (in Afghanistan).
Reformist Islam aims to modernize Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) and reform sharia law to meet contemporary needs. However, reformist Islam—whether rooted in theoretical arguments or practical realities—is frequently overshadowed by the prevailing notion that equates Islamism exclusively with militant jihadist groups.
Both political and reformist Islam challenge the traditional interpretations of Islam that prevailed until the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The module examines these movements that manifest differently across diverse sociopolitical and historical contexts.
