Wider Educational Studies - Citizenship (CPAS0020)

Aims:

You will explore the history and development of citizenship education. The module will briefly engage with historical and international realisations of citizenship education, however the prime focus will be an analysis of the development of citizenship education in England since 1997.

Outcomes:

You will:

- study areas such as; the history and development of citizenship education; the aims of the subject; the choices and challenges facing schools; the concept of political literacy; NFER (National Foundation for Educational Research), OFSTED (Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills) and the evaluation of citizenship education.

- Have the aims and ambitions for the subject critically analysed and compared to reality of the subject in schools.

- be encouraged to draw on your own experiences.

You will demonstrate this research and engagement by completing an assessment titled: Subjects in a Wider Context: The Development of Citizenship Education.

Quantum Information and Communication (COMP0196)

Aims:

In this module, students will develop their understanding of the fundamental concepts and techniques of quantum information science, building on those covered in Quantum Computation (COMP0157). The aims are to capacitate students to understand and reason with quantum mechanics, and to introduce the basics of quantum cryptography, fault-tolerant quantum computation and quantum communication networks.

Learning outcomes:

On successful completion of the module, a student will be able to:

Understand the mathematical structure of quantum mechanics and perform calculations with it.
	Analyze some of the building blocks of quantum information (teleportation, no-cloning, dense coding, and Bell inequalities) and understand the advantages that they provide over classical information.
	Analyze and prove the security of some quantum key distribution protocols.
	Analyze some quantum error correction codes and understand the basics of fault-tolerant quantum computation.
	Understand how to reliably send classical and quantum information through quantum networks.
Content:

The module will cover the following topics, the focus of which may be subject to change:

Quantum mechanics.
	Quantum teleportation and dense coding.
	Quantum cryptography.
	Quantum error correcting codes.
	Quantum communication networks.
Requisites:

To be eligible to select this module as an optional or elective, a student must: (1) be registered on a programme and year of study for which it is a formally available; and (2) have passed Quantum Computation (COMP0157) with a mark of 40% or greater.
