This module, which is made up of lectures and seminar discussions, provides a theoretical and substantive introduction to four key themes supporting a critical understanding of urbanisation processes in cities around the world. It considers the value of a comparative understanding of the mobility of planning and governance ideas, practices and policies, and analyses the factors influencing rapid urban transformations in different socio-economic and political contexts.
By the end of the module students should have an appreciation of:
Some of the major trends in the development and governance of cities
Key theoretical interpretations of the development, structure, experience and sustainability of cities
The universal and contingent nature of planning in cities, from a global perspective
The module will help the students connect with other components of their programme, including the field trip and will deepen their critical thinking, reading and writing skills.

To provide the basic principles of bioprocess analysis and design. This will be achieved by first introducing students to the concept of whole bioprocess sequences and process flow sheets. Mass balance techniques for the key unit operations within the bioprocess sequence will then be taught.

Upon completion of the course, a student should be able to:

Learn the fundamental principles underpinning the main bioprocess unit operations.
	Understand the principles of mass and how this is used in process analysis.
	Familiarise with primary separation processes and conduct mass balances on these.
	Learn different methods of product release by homogenisation, conduct an analysis of selective release options and consider the impact of product release on subsequent unit operations.
	Understand the principle of chromatographic beds and beads function, be able to interpret adsorption isotherms and modes of action and conduct a mass balance analysis of chromatography operations.
	Familiarise with formulation and product dose forms suitable for biological medicines and with the definition of drug substance and drug product.
