SSPC2008 2028-29
Criminological Psychology
This module encourages you to take an in-depth look at the way psychology has been used to explain and control crime. We will explore the way psychological principles can be applied to such issues as violence, murder, serial killing and the role of the courts. You will be given the change to critically reflect on both the topics covered and your developing understanding of the subject through lectures and seminar activities. -

PAIR1007 2026-27
Crises of the 21st Century
This module will introduce students to the analysis of some of the concrete political challenges facing the world in the early 21st century. Drawing on political science, political theory and international relations (as well as wider disciplines), it takes up a problem-based approach designed to explore the causes of the problem (diagnosis), the dangers that it poses (prognosis), and the ways in which it may be addressed (prescription). It is aimed at both helping students to understanding the complexity of addressing these problems but also the possibilities for doing so. -

LING6012 2026-27
Critical Appraisal of Language Teaching Methodologies
This module is for experienced teachers only (at least 2 years + teaching practice) as it draws extensively on students’ theoretical and practical knowledge of language teaching methodologies in specific national and institutional contexts with particular learner groups. The aim of this module is to give a detailed overview of different methods and approaches to language teaching, along with their theoretical underpinnings regarding language, learning, and pedagogy. We investigate a range of contemporary approaches to curriculum and syllabus design and their implications for language classrooms. Students will be familiarised with different ways to evaluate course-books and to design teaching material appropriate to specific learner groups and contexts. -

ARCH2036 2027-28
Critical Chronologies: Archaeological dating
The development of absolute dating methods has had the most profound effect on our understanding of the past. All self-respecting archaeologists should have a basic grounding in radiocarbon dating, but many other dating techniques exist and are appropriate for particular archaeological materials. As well as covering radiocarbon dating, the module covers most of the dating methods of relevance to archaeology from dendrochronology of historical wood back to K/Ar dating of early hominines. The scientific basis of each technique will be covered, but the main focus will be on the application of the dating methods to archaeology through examination of case studies. In particular we will look at how, why and when the scientists have got it wrong, and what archaeologists need to know to spot a dodgy date. -
