Habilitation in Practice: Long Cane Skills (PHDE0088)

Habilitation in Practice: Long Cane Skills is a practical skills module tailored to the development and enhancement of long cane skills training and independent living skills suitable for the role as a Qualified Habilitation Specialist. The module accommodates all aspects of long cane, adaptive behaviour and independent travel skills to inform and equip students with the core skills (matched against the Quality Standards for the Profession). The module runs in parallel to the academic components of the Graduate Diploma in Habilitation ensuring that the link between theory and practice is complemented in real terms. Students undertaking this module will also complete an integrated assessed extended training placement (the ETP) in the second half of the academic year, enabling students to practice and enhance their skill set in a setting that is different to their usual area of practice.

This is the Report module for the MA in Special and Inclusive Education and is only open to students on this programme.

Order and Excitations in Condensed Matter (PHAS0075)

Outline and Aims:

This course aims to:

Provide students with appreciation of the great diversity of ordering phenomena that occurs in condensed matter systems, and the importance that order and excitations play in determining the properties of solids, liquids, glasses magnetic materials and soft matter;
	Appreciate the pivotal role of modern X-ray and neutron scattering techniques to determine ordered and disordered structures and excitation spectra.
Teaching and Learning Methodology:

This course is delivered via approximately 30 hours of lectures.

In addition to timetabled lecture hours, it is expected that students engage in self-study in order to master the material. This can take the form, for example, of practicing example questions and further reading in textbooks and online.
