Outline

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. What are the reasons for this and how can it be prevented or treated? This...

Cellular and Molecular Aspects of Cardiovascular Disease (BIOC0019)

This module will examine the energy, environment and resource issues facing developing countries. It will study trends in energy, environment and resources,...

Energy, Environment and Resources in Developing Countries (BENV0109)

This module will examine the energy, environment and resource issues facing developing countries. It will study trends in energy, environment and resources, including interrelationships with other development issues (e.g. climate, health, poverty). It will use case studies to illustrate the importance of context in shaping the outcomes for people, planet and economy. Lectures will cover:

• Energy, environment, resources and the Sustainable Development Goals

• Key concepts, frameworks and methodologies for energy, environment and resources

• The economics of development

• Sustainable energy for all

• Energy governance, including power sector reforms, technology transfer.

The module will teach the mathematical basis and the application of some of the main methods used in the analysis and use of mathematical models of the built...

Mathematical Modelling Methods for the Built Environment (BENV0108)

The module will teach the mathematical basis and the application of some of the main methods used in the analysis and use of mathematical models of the built environment. Students will learn about the mathematical methods underpinning (i) the uncertainty analysis (parametric and structural) of models, (ii) the optimization (statistic and dynamic) of models, and (iii) the use of models for decision-support in relation to cost-benefit, cost-effectiveness and multi-criteria evaluation of interventions in the built environment.

The module has been established to ensure that students write at Master’s level and can analyse text to establish relevant content for their individual...
