Aims: The aim of this module is to give a critical, up to date overview of the theorising and research in organisational psychology. This module intends to introduce the student to the theories, techniques and current questions in the field of Organisational Psychology. The aim is to familiarise students with the literature on all aspects of behaviour in the work-place. Objectives: 1) Provide an historical framework to understand what and why current questions are asked. 2) Introduce some of the major theories in the area and evaluate them independently. 3) Evaluate the old and new methodology for studying behaviour in the work place. 4) Consider, in detail, important recent studies and meta-analyses in some of the areas that are at the heart of organisational psychology like selection, motivation, leadership etc. Summary of module: This module will cover in some detail theories and research on issues currently topical in Organisational Psychology from job motivation, leadership and stress to the future of work.

Outline:

This course aims are to understand the atomic and molecular processes that give rise to astronomical spectra, to explore how these processes manifest themselves in different astronomical situations, to understand how spectral features give us information about the properties of the material from which the spectra originate, and too become familiar with the terminology used by atomic and molecular spectroscopists.

Aims:

This course aims to:

extend knowledge of atomic physics and to a lesser extent of quantum physics
	discuss the emission and absorption of radiation by atoms and molecules, concentrating on line radiation
	discuss the formation of emission and absorption lines in astronomical objects at all wavelengths from X-rays to radio, including excitation mechanisms
	understand how spectral features give us information about the properties of the material from which the spectra originate
	provide the background required to understand astronomical applications of spectroscopy in other 3rd year and 4th year courses including Practical Astronomy practicals and lecture courses in astrophysics.
Teaching and Learning Methodology:

This course is delivered via weekly lectures supplemented by a series of workshops and additional discussion.

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.
