This optional Year 1 module introduces students to some of the key issues affecting the contemporary global education context. The module focuses particularly on Robert Arnove’s notion of education as being a “dialectic between the global and the local” (2007), by stressing the ways in which formal education systems represent local needs, cultures and histories while also reflecting wider global influences. Some of the key issues discussed include: the impact of global testing regimes; the rise of ‘internationalisation’ strategies in schools and universities; and the tensions and opportunities afforded by increasing multiculturalism, both in the UK and elsewhere.

Signals, Systems, Acoustics and the Ear (EARI0014)

This module aims to give you a basic understanding of acoustics, the physical principles of operation of the auditory system, the science behind the measurement of hearing function, and an introduction to psychoacoustics. A dual approach is taken, sometimes stressing the biophysical principles, and sometimes taking a more abstract approach in how to characterise the signals and systems so prevalent in hearing science.

Essential Maths and Physics Revision: You will be expected to have a working knowledge of basic maths and physics up to GSCE GRADE A. It is not in the remit of this Module to review or teach elementary maths and physics.

This is a compulsory module in the MSc / PG diploma Audiological Science, Audiological Science with Clinical Practice, and the Advanced Audiology: Audiovestibular Medicine pathway.
