PHYS6076 2028-29
Physics with Quantum Science and Technologies with Year Abroad
The primary goal is to provide students with a full academic year of research experience at a world-leading research institute dedicated to quantum science and technology (Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology, Japan). This will enable our top students to experience the cutting edge of research in their chosen discipline, priming them for a career in the quantum sciences. The emphasis throughout is on developing insight, understanding, and practical skills within the context of a research setting, and supporting students to take a leading role and set their own research agenda. -

Physiology and Psychology of Hearing
The sense of hearing is essential for human communication. In this module we investigate the extraordinary capabilities and limitations of the human sense of hearing. Starting with the outer, middle and inner ear, we will investigate the anatomical and physiological functions of the whole auditory pathway up to the primary auditory cortex. At each stage we will discuss potential problems that can lead to hearing loss. We will learn about the psychophysical abilities of normally hearing people and how these capabilities deteriorate in the hearing impaired. We will discuss how signal processing in hearing aids can overcome some, but not all of these limitations.
The module is essential for all students learning about audiology, hearing sciences and communication sciences. It is also suitable for engineering students with an interest in acoustics, effects of noise on people, audio or biomedical signal processing as well as for students seeking an understanding of sound perception and speech communication. -

ENGL3114 2028-29
Pirates, Princesses and the Politics of Romance
Love stories powerfully shape many contemporary cultures. But ‘romance’ has a long and varied history and is not just-another-word for love. Indeed, romance does not always bring us together into a happily-every-after. Romance can be oppressive and divisive, and it can be intellectually challenging. Romance is politically weighted and charged.
In this module, we will explore the many ways romance has fuelled both love and more than love, from the late 19th century to now. Our focus will be on narrative fictions that feature princesses and pirates—some of the oldest and still most popular of romance tropes. Through these stories, we will:
•examine romance as ‘genre fiction’, as well as the genres of romance: quest, adventure, historical, gothic, young adult, ‘romantasy’, and more.
•approach romance as a set of literary strategies deployed across an even wider variety of texts, and sometimes in unexpected places.
•consider how fictions of the past 150 years draw upon texts and ideas dating back thousands of years.
•analyse the aesthetic, political and economic power of romance.
