This module aims to provide an overview of research on cognition and socio-emotional functioning in children, covering developmental issues, the neurocognitive systems involved, the historical background and individual differences. Students should become familiar with major aspects of infant and child cognitive and socio-emotional development, with Piaget’s theory and with newer theoretical approaches.The module is taught in two sections. The cognitive development section begins with Piaget's approach to development from infancy to middle childhood, then goes on to consider more recent experimental work and complementary/alternative perspectives. The second section explores processes of socio-emotional development and factors influencing these.

The module will provide you with an introduction to the different types of material used in medicine. In this module you will explore biomaterial failure mechanisms and the need for improved materials with better control of biological interactions. You will discuss how material physiochemical properties can be changed to direct desirable biological interactions and improved implant outcomes.

In a hyper-connected environment, marketing is now a core function within organisations. The marketing team is responsible for supporting the organisation in driving brand reputation, new product development, expanding the customer base, and ultimately enhancing the financial performance of the organisation. With the increasing digitization of marketing and customer-brand interactions, marketers need to identify new and impactful ways of creating meaningful and relevant customer engagement.
The module will equip students with the skills and knowledge to understand the key functions of marketing, the principles of market and consumer research and the impact that emerging trends have on them, the importance of customer centricity, and focus on how consumers engage with organisations and businesses, the opportunities for new product development and enhanced brand positioning, as well as how marketing communications can be used to heighten awareness and build differentiation.
This is a practical and applied module with hands-on exercises and activities to engage and enhance students learning. Students have the opportunity to learn about the current marketing methods, techniques and strategies underpinned by the latest research and best-practice case studies.
