This module represents a &«fresh look&ª at the geology of the solid earth via topical subjects (e.g. earthquakes, volcanoes, the origin of life, etc) and new concepts such as the Earth Systems approach. In addition, practical-based exercises will provide experience of a variety of geological phenomena, including the identification of minerals, rocks and fossils. Each topic will be taught as a one-hour lecture combined with practical-based exercises. In addition, a variety of learning and teaching materials are provided via the Keele Learning Environment.

The history of Britain in the period from the collapse of the Roman Empire in the West in the early 400s AD to the mid 900s witnessed the eventual, but not inevitable, creation (from several different political units) of the twin kingdoms of England and Scotland, with residual native British rule in Wales.
Concentrating on the resultant Anglo-Saxon kingdom of England, the course explores the ways in which the migrant Germanic tribes gained political and cultural control of southern Britain and how their conversion from paganism to Christianity contributed to that process.
The Viking attacks of the mid 800s and consequent Scandinavian settlement, together with renewed invasion in the early 1000s, for a time brought England closer to Scandinavia, but that development was halted by the Norman Conquest of 1066.
Sources of historical information for the period are varied, such as documents, place-names, and archaeological finds, and these provide the student with opportunities for evaluation and analysis.
The module is taught through linked weekly lectures and seminars, for which there is a course book, handouts, and online sites. |

This module provides non-specialists with a scientific context for contemporary debates about environmental change. The module will address the question of whether future climate change is likely to involve global warming, a new ice age, or both. We will provide students with basic information about global environmental change, about global warming, and about the possible consequences of global warming for future climate and sea level. We will also address the ways in which styles of scientific communication, and the reporting of science in popular media, affect the public understanding of science. |

This module seeks to introduce students to the concept of landscape, a central theme in geographical studies. With reference to England, it demonstrates the range and diversity of forces and processes at work in producing landscape. Largely from the human perspective, it illustrates how landscape may act as a focal point for examining major aspects of human geography - colonization, demographic changes, environmental change, farming systems, and settlement and urban growth. It seeks to introduce students to a number of the sources which may be used in tracing landscape development. |

The history of Britain in the period from the collapse of the Roman Empire in the West in the early 400s AD to the mid 900s witnessed the eventual, but not inevitable, creation (from several different political units) of the twin kingdoms of England and Scotland, with residual native British rule in Wales.
Concentrating on the resultant Anglo-Saxon kingdom of England, the course explores the ways in which the migrant Germanic tribes gained political and cultural control of southern Britain and how their conversion from paganism to Christianity contributed to that process.
The Viking attacks of the mid 800s and consequent Scandinavian settlement, together with renewed invasion in the early 1000s, for a time brought England closer to Scandinavia, but that development was halted by the Norman Conquest of 1066.
Sources of historical information for the period are varied, such as documents, place-names, and archaeological finds, and these provide the student with opportunities for evaluation and analysis.
The module is taught through linked weekly lectures and seminars, for which there is a course book, handouts, and online sites. |

|
|
The period from 1890 - 1941 was one of great political, economic and social change. It saw the demise of long-established Empires only for them to be replaced by new military dictatorships.
Technology and industrial production developed at an alarming rate - often to be put to military use. Economically, the period was one of boom and bust - from the 'roaring 20's' to the Great Depression. Socially, the old class systems virtually disappeared and the proletariat became much more influential.
The module traces these themes: international relations and alliances before the Great War, the impact and aftermath of the 'war to end wars', and international diplomacy in the inter-war years. It will be taught through linked weekly lectures and seminars. |

It seeks to introduce students to a number of the sources which may be used in tracing landscape development. |

The history of Britain in the period from the collapse of the Roman Empire in the West in the early 400s AD to the mid 900s witnessed the eventual, but not inevitable, creation (from several different political units) of the twin kingdoms of England and Scotland, with residual native British rule in Wales.
Concentrating on the resultant Anglo-Saxon kingdom of England, the course explores the ways in which the migrant Germanic tribes gained political and cultural control of southern Britain and how their conversion from paganism to Christianity contributed to that process.
The Viking attacks of the mid 800s and consequent Scandinavian settlement, together with renewed invasion in the early 1000s, for a time brought England closer to Scandinavia, but that development was halted by the Norman Conquest of 1066.
Sources of historical information for the period are varied, such as documents, place-names, and archaeological finds, and these provide the student with opportunities for evaluation and analysis.
The module is taught through linked weekly lectures and seminars, for which there is a course book, handouts, and online sites. |

With reference to England, it demonstrates the range and diversity of forces and processes at work in producing landscape. Largely from the human perspective, it illustrates how landscape may act as a focal point for examining major aspects of human geography - colonization, demographic changes, environmental change, farming systems, and settlement and urban growth. It seeks to introduce students to a number of the sources which may be used in tracing landscape development. |

Entrepreneurship is a widely-used but little understood concept, often equated with new, innovative business ventures. It is often touted as the panacea for economic growth and development and a source of new jobs and new ideas. However, entrepreneurs also require a sound knowledge of how to set up a company and promote their business, and this is best acquired by looking at both successful and unsuccessful case studies.
This module aims to introduce you to business and commerce, the concept of entrepreneurship and its role in economic and business development in particular. This will enable you to appreciate the skills required to create or begin a new business venture and equip you with relevant employability skills. Students will be arranged into teams at the start of the module and will carry out an assessed skills-based project to develop an entrepreneurial business activity, including preparing a detailed business plan and making a presentation to staff involved in running or promoting successful business ventures. |

This module will provide students with a broad historical understanding of the development of global politics since WWII and the various mainstream and critical approaches employed in International Relations to analyse the key processes and events during this era. It will examine the role of the US, Britain and the United Nations in the post-war international settlement with a focus on the institutional arrangements for military security, economic development, decolonisation, human rights, environmental regulation etc. In doing so, it will also examine the role of a range of relatively new transnational actors such as multinational corporations, NGO's and global social movements. As such the module will critically analyse contemporary processes and problems of poverty, war, terrorism and climate change in emerging contexts of regional integration 'globalisation', global governance and the supposed declining sovereignty of the nation-state. |

Entrepreneurship is a widely-used but little understood concept, often equated with new, innovative business ventures. It is often touted as the panacea for economic growth and development and a source of new jobs and new ideas. However, entrepreneurs also require a sound knowledge of how to set up a company and promote their business, and this is best acquired by looking at both successful and unsuccessful case studies.
This module aims to introduce you to business and commerce, the concept of entrepreneurship and its role in economic and business development in particular. This will enable you to appreciate the skills required to create or begin a new business venture and equip you with relevant employability skills. Students will be arranged into teams at the start of the module and will carry out an assessed skills-based project to develop an entrepreneurial business activity, including preparing a detailed business plan and making a presentation to staff involved in running or promoting successful business ventures. |

We will provide students with basic information about global environmental change, about global warming, and about the possible consequences of global warming for future climate and sea level. We will also address the ways in which styles of scientific communication, and the reporting of science in popular media, affect the public understanding of science. |

The module will describe the global distribution of mineral and petrochemical deposits, explaining the latter in terms of the processes which formed them. It will then continue by explaining means of prospecting for and extracting these deposits. The final part of the module will deal with geological engineering relating to construction of dams and geothermal energy. Teaching will be through lectures and laboratory classes/workshops, supported by problems classes. Assessment will be via the laboratory/workshop activities, two short class tests and a final open-note examination. |

Epistemology pertains to knowledge and this module will look in particular at scepticism and induction. Political philosophy will centre on punishment and rights. In aesthetics philosophers' relationship with art will be studied and moral philosophy will investigate the nature of moral judgement. The philosophy of religion will focus on the nature of divinity. The sort of questions that will be considered include:
how do you know that you are reading this and not dreaming?
does the fact that lightning has been followed by thunder in the past guarantee that it will happen in the future?
how do we justify punishment?
what does it mean to have rights?
what is an aesthetic judgment and what is good taste?
how are we to make sense of moral pronouncements?
does God exist?
how do we reconcile evil with the idea of divinity? |

Can you tell a good argument from a bad one? This is not always an easy or a clear-cut issue. Science, statistics and rhetorical ploys can all be used to confuse you and convince you to accept erroneous conclusions. This module will help you to understand the nature and structure of arguments, and to improve your ability in constructing your own arguments and critically assessing those of others. The module is about developing and improving the skills needed to tackle arguments in general. You will learn how to properly analyse arguments and avoid common mistakes and fallacies. In doing so we will be drawing on examples from everyday life, such as the media, as well as those from philosophy.

This module will provide students with a broad historical understanding of the development of global politics since WWII and the various mainstream and critical approaches employed in International Relations to analyse the key processes and events during this era. It will examine the role of the US, Britain and the United Nations in the post-war international settlement with a focus on the institutional arrangements for military security, economic development, decolonisation, human rights, environmental regulation etc. In doing so, it will also examine the role of a range of relatively new transnational actors such as multinational corporations, NGO's and global social movements. As such the module will critically analyse contemporary processes and problems of poverty, war, terrorism and climate change in emerging contexts of regional integration 'globalisation', global governance and the supposed declining sovereignty of the nation-state. |
