More than Pyramids & Pharaohs? Ancient Egypt in Context
The module provides an introduction to the history and archaeology of ancient Egypt. The module provides a broad sweep of Egyptian history from the Predynastic through to later periods. It introduces aspects of death, burial and commemoration, compares and contrasts these topics through the different Egyptian time periods, and places them into broader social view. Specific focus is placed upon Abydos and Amarna and their relative importance in the history of Egypt. Comparisons are also made between the Egyptological records developed from historical texts and papyri with those derived from other branches of archaeology. In addition, the module locates ancient Egypt within the wider world – both in terms of the present day and the past, but also in relation to neighbouring geographic areas. The impact and representation of ancient Egypt on the modern world is also considered in terms of Egyptianising of architecture, Egyptomania and museum development. -

PHYS1015 2025-26
Motion and Relativity
The first part of the module focuses on Newton’s laws of motion, potentials, conservation of energy, momentum and angular momentum, projectiles, circular motion, gravity and simple harmonic motion including damping.
The second part of the module is an introduction to Special Relativity,
including time dilation, length contraction, Lorentz transformations, relativistic kinematics and the relation between mass and energy. -

PAIR6085 2026-27
MPA Capstone
The aim of the Capstone is for students to apply their learning from the MPA to a specific policy problem or issue. They will conduct independent research on an agreed problem/issue, and produce a policy report of 8000 to 10000 words. -
PHYS6015 2028-29
MPhys Final Year Synoptic Examination
Students in the synoptic exam will be expected to display a broad knowledge and understanding of the core first, second and third year courses, to understand the inter-relations between those courses and to display problem solving skills in novel problem environments. Students’ studies will be supported by revision lectures - each week one of the lecturers of the core first, second and third year courses will lead the session. Problem solving sessions will also be included.
The course work involves setting your own Synoptic exam questions which will hopefully give new insights into the material taught and the examination process. -
