This module will provide you with an introduction to research methods and statistics. It is essential for any health care professional to be able to perform basic research and be able to interpret results from empirically-based peer reviewed journal articles. The module will also enable you to develop critical evaluative skills and facilitate thinking about research questions and experimental designs.

The module on advanced energy storage includes the comprehensive exploration of batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells, and redox flow cells technologies. It provides students the essential electrochemistry and materials science knowledge for designing and characterising energy storage solutions. The students will learn about the relationship between the material’s chemical composition/structure and the electrochemical performance, the role of electrolytes, and the charge transfer mechanisms. Both the fundamental and applied aspects of energy storage will be introduced, with a state-of-the-art overview of the trends in the academic and industrial sectors. The applications of fundamental knowledge of energy storage to tackle the energy and environmental challenges will be demonstrated through case studies.

This module provides students with an introductory level orientation to core accounting principles and their applications, both internal and external, to a business organisation. It aims to provide students with a good grounding in and an appreciation of the financial accounting essentials that any analyst, manager or business owner should possess.

Financial Accounting is concerned with accounting for the financial transactions and activities of a business, in a particular financial period, building the financial story of that period through the subsequent construction and publication of core financial statements: Balance Sheets, Income Statements, and Cash Flow Statements. In so doing it explains why profit and cash measurements of the same transactions and activities differ, and how Income Statements and Cash Flow Statements are constructed. The Accounting Equation of Assets = Liabilities is applied to the construction of the Balance Sheet. Contextually issues in revenue recognition and expense identification, and in the valuation of assets and liabilities are explored. The module shows students how to calculate financial ratios to analyse and interpret the core financial statements to gain insights into financial health and performance, insights managers and other interested stakeholders, especially shareholders, are particularly interested in. The module also explores core aspects of Corporate Governance and their implications for corporate reporting.

This module (MSIN0004) is delivered in both Term 1 and 2 with the final examination to take place in the Summer term for both instances.
